Teeth whitening in Western Massachusetts

Why Should You Whiten Your Teeth?

Also referred to as power bleaching or chairside teeth whitening, in-office teeth whitening is a proven method of brightening your teeth. Professional teeth whitening is administered under carefully monitored conditions, ensuring a pain-free, safe experience. A teeth bleaching dentist uses a highly concentrated whitening gel that produces immediate and dramatic results. If you have stained enamel caused by long-term consumption of certain beverages or smoking, contact us now to find out whether teeth whitening in Western Massachusetts is right for you.

How Can I Whiten My Teeth at Home?

In addition to our professional whitening services, we offer take-home kits that allow you to brighten your smile at home. These custom kits are created by our dentists using impressions of your teeth. A highly concentrated gel is included in the take-home teeth whitening kit, and your dentist will show you how to apply it properly. Many patients can lighten their teeth by several shades using take-home whitening trays.

How Much Will Teeth Bleaching Cost?

The cost of teeth whitening in Western Massachusetts is determined by several factors, including the type of treatment used, the number of treatments required, and any follow-up visits. During your appointment, one of our teeth whitening dentists will examine your teeth and provide an estimate of your charges.

Comparing Professional and DIY Teeth Whitening Products

While you may have seen several options for teeth whitening at the drugstore, keep in mind that they are not as effective as a professional treatment. Teeth whitening at the dentist usually yields more uniform results than whitening administered at home. Drugstore options can yield some improvement, but the results will not be as a dramatic as a professional treatment. Plus, those products can irritate your gums if used incorrectly. Brighten your smile quickly and safely by calling our office to book an appointment.

What Happens During the Teeth Whitening Procedure?

The procedure steps for in-office teeth whitening depends on the type of whitening system used. However, the following steps are typical of a professional brightening treatment:

1. The dentist will examine and clean your teeth. Photos may be taken to determine what tooth shade is right for you.
2. Then, the dentist will place a cheek retractor in your mouth, which exposes the visible teeth. A protective liquid will be applied to the gums to shield them from damage.
3. The dentist will then apply several layers of bleaching gel, leaving each coating in place for a predetermined time and then removed. An intense light may be used to enhance results.
4. After the last gel application, the dentist will ensure the shade is correct. In some cases, follow-up visits or teeth whitening at home may be required if the desired shade isn’t reached.
