Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an effective and convenient way to restore the natural brightness of your smile. Several bleaching methods are available, but they significantly differ in their effectiveness. With the latest technology and the highest standards of patient care, Fenton Family Dentistry’s professional whitening treatment can dramatically brighten your teeth in only a few short visits.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration

Teeth can become discolored due to thinning enamel or average daily activity that causes staining. Even with regular cleaning and dental visits, you might notice some discoloration if you consume certain foods or beverages. Some medications also have a side effect of tooth discoloration. A professional whitening treatment at our office can remove those stains and enhance your smile for years to come.

Steps During Your Whitening Treatment

A whitening treatment is quite simple and can brighten your smile up to six shades or more. Here’s what to expect when you come to Fenton Family Dentistry for professional teeth bleaching:

We’ll begin with a consultation appointment, where you can discuss your concerns and goals. Dr. Nieva will also explain the whitening process in detail. Next, we’ll closely examine the current color of your teeth to compare with the result after your treatment.

Before the whitening treatment can begin, we will first need to clean your teeth and gums to help get the best result possible. Your dentist will apply a protective material over your gums to keep them safe from the whitening agents.

After applying the brightening substance to your teeth, we will wait about an hour or less before removing it. For some patients, we may need to repeat the process several times to get the desired results.

Maintaining Your Whiter Teeth

Proper upkeep is important after a professional whitening treatment. If you want your results to last a long time, follow these simple practices:

• Brush and floss regularly
• Schedule regular checkups and professional cleanings
• Avoid dark beverages, tobacco products, and hard candy
