Teeth whitening in Northern New Jersey

How is Professional Teeth Whitening Different?

Professional teeth whitening, or dental bleaching, is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures performed at Garden State Dental. As you age, or based on the foods you consume, your teeth can yellow over time. Without taking action to brighten your smile you risk looking older than you feel.

Our professional treatments are ten times as powerful as any products you’ll buy over the counter and can offer immediate results – just in time for a big event. Don’t spend weeks wrestling with whitening strips only to be disappointed.

Will Professional Whitening Work for Me?

Professional whitening works for almost all dental patients. However, it is advisable to consult your dentist before undergoing any whitening treatment. Your dentist will evaluate if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening and notify you of any concerns.

It must be noted that teeth darkened with the color of yellow, brown or orange respond well to teeth whitening. Grayish color caused by fluorosis, smoking or tetracycline can be lightened but with less-than-satisfactory results.

Additionally those patients wearing dentures, partials or other dental devices may not benefit from professional whitening. Discuss this with your dentist before undergoing a whitening treatment.

What is the Process for Getting My Teeth Whitened?

Professional teeth whitening can be done in-office in less than an hour visit with a dentist. This offers immediate results for upcoming events and is convenient with no at home care required. Your gums will be protected from damage and then your teeth will be covered with a powerful whitening gel. A special light will then be applied to your teeth to activate the gel and give you a brighter, whiter, smile instantly.

You can also whiten your teeth with the use of a take-home kit that your dentist will prescribe you. This product will resemble many of the gels and trays that you can find in the drug store, but are much more powerful than over the counter products. For added benefit use both products together and achieve your whitest smile ever.

Teeth bleaching products that contain peroxides can actually change your tooth’s natural color from five to seven and up to twelve shades brighter. Even a stubborn single tooth can be individually brightened with professional treatment.
