Teeth Whitening Elkin, NC

Home > Teeth Whitening Elkin, NC

Is there anything more appealing than a brilliant white smile? Unfortunately, few of us have teeth that stay as white as we’d like. With a little help, our dental staff can get your pearly whites back to their brilliant selves.

Professional teeth whitening is both safe and effective, and our teeth whitening treatment in Elkin, NC provides you with the most economical avenue toward getting a brighter and whiter smile. We offer a single in-office whitening treatment to lighten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single hour. Over-the-counter products can be too aggressive and cause damage. Treatments applied by novices can also prove more harmful than helpful. 

Professionally delivered teeth whitening works faster and protects your oral health more effectively. Requesting an oral exam before you begin a teeth whitening regimen will make sure your discoloration is due to simple staining and not a result of a dental condition. Reach out to us for an appointment to make sure your teeth whitening needs can be safely and effectively met with our whitening treatments.

Professional Whitening Methods

Professional whitening uses highly concentrated bleaching gels that are not available for over-the-counter dental care. Due to the high demand for whitening products, there are two different forms of professional whitening currently on the market. These include:

  • In-Office Whitening Treatments – In-office treatments provide the fastest results. Gums and tooth-root surfaces are covered by a protective barrier and a retractor will keep cheeks away from your teeth. A professional-grade peroxide gel is then applied and left on for one hour. Results are visible immediately following treatment. 
  • Take-Home Whitening Kits – Home kits are another way to whiten your teeth. Dentist-approved kits are effective but are not as fast, and there is a larger margin for user error. Home kits will use a customized mold of your teeth made of thin, flexible plastic. The trays will be filled with whitening gel and placed over teeth for approximately one hour. Results can take several weeks.

Caring for Your Whitened Smile

There are numerous ways to maintain your pearly white grin. These techniques will vary from person to person, as some will need to whiten again in only six months, while others will maintain results for two years or more. 

To start, brush and floss your teeth every day (at least twice per day) and attend regular dental cleanings. Avoid foods and beverages that stain teeth, such as tea, coffee, and red wine. If you do smoke, consider using your freshly whitened teeth as a powerful motivator to quit, as smoking leads to tooth discoloration

Minor and infrequent touch-ups, whether at home or in the office, can make sure your smile remains brilliant and vibrant for years to come. Reach out to our office today to learn more about teeth whitening in Elkin, NC.
