Teeth Whitening

At Delgado Dental Group, we understand that a vibrant, white smile can make all the difference in how you feel and present yourself to the world. That's why we offer professional teeth whitening services designed to lift stains, enhance brightness, and give you the dazzling smile you've always wanted. We offer the leading systems in care to provide a safe, quick, effective, and aesthetically pleasing way to transform your smile.

Why your smile might look as white as you like

If your smile is not as naturally white or bright as you like, it's not necessarily your fault. While some people have a naturally white smile, many have teeth that naturally appear yellower. Teeth can also seem less white, yellowed, and dull over time as they accumulate stains from various sources like coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, tobacco use, and certain medications. Plus, there is age-related staining, as the enamel thins over time and tooth discoloration following dental trauma or root canal therapy. Yet, despite all the reasons your teeth may appear dull, drab, yellowed, or stained, today, there's a cosmetic solution for every smile. 

What a professional strength whitening procedure can do for your smile

At Delgado Dental Group, we're pleased to offer professional strength teeth whitening procedures that can effectively address many types of stains and restore your teeth to a lighter, more youthful, and cosmetically pleasing shade. Our whitening systems can target many surface stains and those embedded in the enamel to offer a safer, more comprehensive, and long-lasting result than over-the-counter store-bought whitening treatments or those purchased online.

The benefits are clear

One of the key benefits of a professional strength teeth whitening procedure is the use of medical-grade whitening agents that provide more noticeable improvements and optimal results. At Delgado Dental Group, our in-office and take-home whitening options are customized to quickly and safely lighten and brighten your smile by several shades. Our professional whitening treatments use advanced technology and high-quality whitening agents that penetrate the enamel to lift stains without damaging the teeth or surrounding tissues. 

Experience safety and comfort with professional supervision

By working with our team, you can trust that your whitening procedure will be tailored to your needs to maximize your results. Our skilled, experienced dentists will identify potential issues that can affect the whitening process, such as gum sensitivity or existing dental restorations. Sometimes, a whitening procedure will not resolve certain dark stains or discolorations in your smile. We'll let you know if this is the case and will recommend the right cosmetic solution, like veneers, dental bonding, or ceramic crowns, to improve the look of your smile. 

In-office whitening: the fastest way to whiten your smile

If you're looking for a dramatic transformation in a short amount of time, our in-office whitening procedure is ideal. This treatment typically takes about an hour and delivers immediate and visible results. During this appointment, we apply and activate a high strength whitening gel to your teeth. With just one session, you'll leave our office with a smile several shades brighter— ready for any special occasion or to boost your confidence.

Take-home whitening systems for convenient brightening and touch ups

We also offer professional take-home whitening kits for individuals who prefer to whiten their teeth at their own pace. These kits include trays and professional strength whitening gel, allowing you to whiten your smile while enjoying the comfort of your home. Your take-home trays are designed to fit securely over your teeth, ensuring even whitening gel application and reducing gum sensitivity risk. With our take-home systems, you can gradually achieve stunning results by following our daily use directions.

The Quick Transformation of Teeth Whitening

Of course, one of the most exciting aspects of teeth whitening is how quickly it can transform your smile. Many of our patients see a difference after just one treatment, making teeth whitening one of the most efficient ways to enhance your appearance. Whether you choose an in-office treatment or a take-home kit, you'll enjoy a renewed sense of confidence from a brighter, whiter smile.

Long-Lasting Results with Proper Maintenance

Remember, maintaining a white smile after treatment is easy with a few simple lifestyle habits. Avoiding foods and drinks that cause stains, using a straw, and practicing good oral hygiene all help to preserve your newly brightened smile. Our team is also here to offer tips and guidance on keeping your smile looking its best, and we can provide touch-up whitening treatments if you ever need a refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to whiten my smile?

+

While an overwhelming selection of over-the-counter teeth whitening products is readily available for purchase at stores or online, it's imperative to keep in mind that the healthiest and most effective methods of care are those professionally supervised by your dentist. With a teeth whitening procedure provided by our office, we can safely, comfortably, and effectively transform your smile by up to several shades in a short amount of time.

How does a teeth whitening work?

+

Teeth whitening offers a simple and non-invasive to whiten and brighten your smile. Whitening products contain various strengths of biologically safe hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that act as bleaching agents on stained or discolored dental enamel. By breaking the stains into smaller pieces, these bleaching agents make the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter.

Is teeth whitening painful?

+

Every patient is different, and despite the fact that many people experience no sensitivity or pain with a professional teeth whitening, there are some that do. Although considered a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, some temporary discomfort during and following the procedure may ensue. It helps to stick to room temperature beverages for a few days following a teeth whitening. You can also take over-the-counter pain medication as you would for a headache. If you have a history of sensitive teeth, we may select a gentler formulation of whitening products or an alternative procedure.

Does a teeth whitening procedure work for all types of stains and discolorations?

+

It's essential to keep in mind that every patient has unique needs and specific requirements of care. In general, individuals with yellow tones to their teeth respond best to teeth whitening. Brown and grayish tinted teeth bleach respond less well and may require significantly longer dentist-supervised tooth whitening regimens or alternative cosmetic treatments. Finally, teeth whitening may not be recommended in the presence of sensitive teeth, worn enamel, and significant gum disease.

What if my teeth are darkly stained?

+

For darkly stained teeth, a whitening procedure may not provide the cosmetic results desired. In these cases, we'll talk about alternative options such as porcelain veneers or full-coverage crowns.

Will a tooth whitening procedure work on crowns, veneers, bonding, or tooth-colored fillings?

+

Teeth whitening only works on natural teeth. The fact that whiteners do not affect the color of existing dental fillings, veneers, bonding, crowns, or bridges on the front teeth remains an important consideration when choosing the best cosmetic option in care.

Is teeth whitening safe?

+

As a rule, the healthiest and most effective methods of teeth whitening are the ones managed and supervised by your dentist. You can count on our office to provide the most effective, safest, and satisfying professional-strength options to whiten, brighten, and lighten your smile! Stay away from over-the-counter products, which may be overly abrasive or put the health of your teeth and the surrounding soft tissues at risk. While these products may work when healthy teeth and gums are present, they're often ineffective or problematic when sensitive teeth, exposed roots, cavities, broken fillings, cracked teeth, or loose dental work are the case.

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?

+

How long your teeth whitening lasts depends on your lifestyle. Your eating, drinking, and smoking habits can have a significant impact on maintaining your result. Of course, the best way to ensure that your smile stays healthy and beautiful is a good daily oral healthcare regimen, along with regular dental checkups and cleanings.

Does dental insurance cover teeth whitening procedures?

+

It's essential to keep in mind that as a cosmetic dental procedure, a teeth whitening may not be covered by your insurance plan. We understand the financial considerations involved in care and do our best to help you get the treatment you need without any additional stress or delay. We offer several payment options and financing plans to make things easier.
