Teeth Whitening | PGA Dentistry (2024)

Professional Teeth Whitening Is A Bright Idea

How have the years treated your smile? If your teeth show signs of yellowing or staining from caffeine, nicotine, and dark beverages, then your smile may make you look even older than your true age. At PGA Dentistry, we offer our clientele a choice between in-office Zoom! Whitening or the most rapid and effective types of custom, take-home trays and teeth whitening gels. Both systems can turn back the clock and give you an unforgettable white smile.

Actual Patient of PGA Dentistry

Popular, safe, and effective, teeth whitening has given patients across the world a reason to smile. Your appearance can affect you socially, emotionally, and even professionally. People who smile with confidence are viewed as warm, inviting, and beautiful. Now, with professional teeth whitening systems, we can help you achieve the pearly whites of magazine models and movie stars.

Zoom! Whitening involves professional-strength, light-sensitive bleaching gel and a concentrated bleaching light. In just over 1 hour, this procedure will take your teeth from dingy yellow to dazzling white! For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home, we also offer custom teeth whitening kits, so you can keep your fresh, new smile bright indefinitely. These exceptional gel trays provide similar results as in-office treatments in a surprisingly short time. Our patient library offers more information on teeth whitening.

• Chemicals in foods, beverages, and tobacco can change the color of your teeth, as can the effects of aging. Medications such as tetracycline, excessive fluoride, and previous dental work may also cause unsightly stains on your tooth enamel. Genetics can also affect the color of your teeth. While we think of tooth enamel as white, the natural, unstained shade of your teeth can range from pearly white to bluish gray to pale yellow. Even if you brush and floss daily, stains can tarnish your beautiful smile and steal the confident image you want to convey.

• Teeth Whitening Options

  You don’t have to live with discolored teeth. After a thorough examination, we can recommend the best option for teeth whitening and brightening your smile.

• In-Office Teeth Whitening

  In-office whitening is one of the safest and quickest ways to safely whiten your teeth. During this process, we will place a protective rubber dam around your gums and apply a solution of 15 to 35 percent carbamide peroxide, a chemical found in most bleaching products, to your teeth. Depending on the whitening method, we may also use a laser or special lamp to speed up the bleaching process. In-office whitening can give you dazzlingly white teeth in less than 1 hour.

• At-Home Teeth Whitening

  If you’d prefer, we can create clear, customized bleaching trays for you to whiten at home. The professional-grade, at-home whitening solution usually contains 10 percent carbamide peroxide. Simply pour the solution into your custom mouth trays and wear them for an hour a day. You will notice whiter teeth almost immediately, but the most dramatic results will appear after 1-2 weeks of daily treatments.

• Over-The-Counter Teeth Whitening

  You can also purchase home-use whiteners over the counter. While there are so many on the market, most of these products are not as effective as the bleaching methods available in our office. If you prefer to use a store-bought whitening system, ask us which product would work best for you. We want you to have a smile you will be proud of, so we’re happy to help. Use over-the-counter products as directed, and never use whiteners for more than the recommended time period.

• Teeth Whitening Toothpastes

  If your teeth are sensitive to bleaching, your dentists may recommend a dentifrice (whitening toothpaste). These contain chemical or polishing agents to gently remove stains from the surface of your teeth. While your teeth won’t be as white as if you used a bleaching system, whitening toothpaste is safe, easy to use, and can be purchased over the counter.

• After Teeth Whitening

  With all whitening systems, we advise patients not to eat or drink foods that stain, or to smoke, since recently-whitened teeth absorb stains. Whitening systems can also cause increased sensitivity in your teeth and gums. These side effects pass with time, but if they persist or other problems arise, you should contact your dentist immediately.

• Teeth Whitening Alternatives

  If bleaching and teeth whitening can’t get your teeth as white as you’d like, veneers or bonding may be a good solution. These cosmetic procedures are long lasting and do not discolor or stain. In addition to whitening your smile, Veneers and bonding can cover cracks, chips, and slight misalignments.
