Teeth Whitening


A man's smile showing stark differences before and after professional teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to remove stains and discoloration from the enamel. This process enhances the appearance of natural teeth, giving patients a more youthful and vibrant smile. Professional whitening treatments are tailored to individual needs, ensuring effective and safe results.

History of Teeth Whitening


Teeth whitening has evolved significantly over time. Ancient methods included using abrasive materials like charcoal or crushed shells. Modern whitening techniques began in the 1980s with peroxide-based solutions. Today, advancements in technology allow for more precise, comfortable, and effective treatments, including in-office whitening and take-home kits.

Why Is Whitening Needed?


Discoloration of teeth can occur due to various factors, including:
•  Frequent consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, or other staining substances
•  Smoking or tobacco use
•  Aging, which leads to thinning enamel
•  Certain medications that cause intrinsic staining
•  Poor oral hygiene practices

Teeth whitening addresses these issues, restoring the natural brightness of your smile.

How Is Whitening Performed?


The whitening process varies depending on the method chosen. In-office treatments typically involve:
•  An initial examination by Manoush Farzin, DMD to assess suitability for whitening
•  Application of a protective barrier on the gums to shield soft tissues
•  Use of a professional-grade whitening gel applied to the teeth
•  Activation of the gel with a special light or laser for enhanced results
•  Multiple applications within a single session to achieve optimal brightness

Take-home kits involve custom-made trays and a lower-concentration whitening solution for gradual improvement over several days.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?


In-office whitening sessions usually take about an hour. For take-home kits, patients typically use the trays daily for one to two weeks. Both options provide noticeable results, with in-office treatments offering the quickest transformation.

How to Maintain Whitening Results at Home


Maintaining your bright smile requires consistent care:
•  Brush and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup
•  Rinse your mouth after consuming staining foods or beverages
•  Use a straw to minimize contact between teeth and dark liquids
•  Schedule regular cleanings at Destination Dental to keep your teeth polished

Good oral hygiene practices ensure long-lasting results.

Whitening vs. Other Cosmetic Procedures


Unlike crowns or veneers, whitening enhances the natural enamel without altering the structure of your teeth. While veneers address intrinsic stains and provide a complete smile makeover, whitening focuses solely on improving color. It is an excellent choice for patients seeking a non-invasive and quick solution.

Benefits of Whitening


Teeth whitening offers numerous advantages:
•  Boosts self-esteem with a brighter smile
•  Enhances overall appearance for special occasions
•  Provides a youthful and healthy look
•  Improves first impressions and social confidence

These benefits make whitening one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments.
