Brighten Your Smile Today with Professional Teeth Whitening Services

Because of the availability of over-the-counter whitening options, many people think teeth whitening is simple. However, if you have tried store-bought products, you must have been frustrated by the mediocre results. Worse yet, these products can damage teeth and gums if handled inappropriately. 

When you want a brighter smile, only consider professional teeth whitening. The following are the available options in our office. 

• In-office teeth whitening: Dr. Bell uses the Colgate^® Optic White^® system to whiten your teeth at his office. This system is ideal for patients who want instant teeth whitening results. It only takes 45 minutes for your teeth to be noticeably whiter. Besides speed, many patients love chairside teeth whitening because they sit back and relax while the dentist handles the entire process.
• Take-home whitening trays: You can achieve a whiter, brighter smile even on your busiest days. Our professional take-home whitening kit allows you to brighten your smile conveniently at home, office, or on the go. Patients only wear the kit for 10 minutes daily and enjoy professional-grade results after 5 days. This technology has revolutionized teeth whitening, promising dramatic outcomes with convenience and minimal sensitivity. 

Immediately after teeth whitening, avoid colored foods and liquids for at least two days. During this period, the micropores in the enamel are open and easily absorb stains. Indulging in red wine, soda, tea, or red sauce can ruin your whitening results. 

Long-term maintenance is also essential to prolong the lifespan of your results. Good oral hygiene prevents plaque and surface stains. So, brush and floss your teeth diligently with proper techniques. Also, quit tobacco use and limit the intake of staining foods. If you must indulge in them, use a straw for drinks and rinse or brush your teeth soon after. 

Don’t forget routine dental cleanings every six months. They remove surface stains and plaque from areas you can’t reach with your home tools. Lastly, touch up your results routinely with your take-home whitening kit.
