Teeth Whitening

We may all have a slightly different shade of white that is natural to us, but the brightness of our smiles indicates the same thing - health and vitality. When teeth become dull, yellow, and discolored, as they do over time, we may be perceived as older, unfriendly, or even lazy. Today, more people are realizing how easy it is to rejuvenate their appearance with the simple step of professional teeth whitening.

Under the care of your skilled cosmetic dentist, your smile can be transformed in as little as a few hours! Not every option is right for every patient. In our practice, we offer the following teeth whitening treatments:

Zoom! in-office whitening

There are certain situations in which the smile needs to be bright NOW. If you are facing a photo shoot or special event, and you want to dazzle, in-office teeth whitening is the fastest way to get astonishing results. In the comfort of our office, we will place a protective cover over gums and lips, and precisely apply whitening gel to teeth. This gel will then be treated with light, creating a powerful effect on stains. The process may be completed a few times to reach optimal whitening effect. When you leave our office, you will feel like a new you!

At-home teeth whitening

Teeth whitening can be easy and convenient, completed with an at-home kit that begins with the design of a custom-fitted whitening tray. Your whitening tray will be designed from a mold of your tooth structure. Formed to your teeth, this custom whitening tray allows the concentration of whitening gel against teeth, and prevents seepage onto gum tissue, avoiding irritation. Whitening trays may be worn for as little as thirty minutes a day, or as long as all night, while you sleep.

At-home teeth whitening produces astonishing results, reaching full effect in a few weeks with daily treatment. After initial whitening, periodic touch-up treatments will keep you in your most dazzling smile.

Professional grade Crest white strips

For some patients, we may recommend Crest White Strips to brighten the smile at home. These strips contain the gentle ingredients used by dentists, but in slightly lower concentration. Applied daily, it is possible to begin seeing your smile transformation in just a few days. After about twenty days of daily application, these whitening strips will have lifted stains and rejuvenated the smile.

There are several options for teeth whitening today, including over the counter whitening products. The most dramatic, long-lasting results still come from the very first treatment developed. Working with your dentist at West Chester Dental Group, you can realize your best smile by removing years-old stains caused by food, drinks, and lifestyle habits such as smoking.

Teeth whitening is best undertaken with your dentist for several reasons. Although commercial products such as whitening pastes and strips are easily accessible and seem more immediately affordable, such products are ineffective at best, damaging at worst. Some whitening pastes may work through abrasion, rubbing off small amounts of enamel. Commercial whitening strips, though made to lift stains, contain such low amounts of whitening agent that results are lacking. Due to their design, strips may also lead to gum irritation by allowing whitening agents to contact gum tissue.

Your dentist has the right solution for your smile goals. Professional teeth whitening may address yellowing caused by not only normal aging, foods, or smoking, but also stains from medications. Resistant stains require extra care, which we provide with personalized service. We can help you rejuvenate your appearance with professional teeth whitening. Contact us for your appointment today.
