Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening treatment will not work on dental crowns or veneers. That's why we recommend that our patients who are getting new crowns whiten their teeth first. Then we can match their crowns to that level of whiteness. All that will be required to maintain a beautiful white smile is to touch up whitening periodically.

Teeth whitening will remove many types of teeth stains, including those from tobacco and the foods and drinks you consume. Brown stains can be a symptom of celiac disease, and whitening will not work in that case. Brown stains caused by certain medications will not respond to whitening treatment, either. If your teeth have been exposed to too much fluoride and stains have resulted, teeth whitening will not eliminate those stains.

Professional teeth whitening will give you superior results to over-the-counter whitening kits or strips. We offer you two great options for teeth whitening: in-office whitening for the fastest results or a set of custom whitening trays that you can use whenever you want. Both methods will give you faster results than store-bought kits.

Unfortunately, permanent teeth whitening does not exist. Assuming you don't want to give up things like salsa, pasta sauce, coffee, tea, soft drinks, and red wine, your best bet is to be proactive about managing your smile. Talk to us about touching up your smile when needed when you come in for your regular checkups.

The teeth whitening process is not painful. However, some patients experience mild teeth sensitivity to hot and cold afterward. We use only the highest-quality whitening treatment that is specially formulated to reduce sensitivity, so any discomfort will be minimal and temporary. If you do experience teeth sensitivity, it will usually go away on its own shortly after your treatment is over.

Results of whitening treatment vary based on the treatment you choose and the current shade of your teeth. KöR whitening can brighten your smile by up to 16 shades. In-office and at-home treatments also deliver noticeable results. Your dentist can give you a better estimate during a consultation at Newman Springs Dental Care.

In-office whitening is a fast treatment you can fit into a busy schedule. Most appointments are completed in about an hour. You'll leave with visibly whiter teeth the same day. It's a great option if you want quick, noticeable results without a long wait.

Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe for your gums. We take steps to protect your gums throughout treatment. During in-office whitening, we monitor your gum tissue to prevent irritation. We also use custom-fit trays that keep the whitening formula where it belongs, so you get great results without unnecessary discomfort.
