Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is an excellent option for most patients who are over 18 years old and desire a brighter smile. However, before our team administers your customized whitening kit, we make sure that you don’t have any lingering oral health problems that need to be addressed, like cavities or gum disease. This will ensure longer lasting, trusted results.

Teeth whitening is excellent for patients who suffer from the following types of dental stains:

  • Eating staining foods
  • Consuming staining beverages
  • Side-effects from certain medications
  • Aging
  • Dental fluorosis

How Does At-Home Teeth Whitening Work?

At-home professional teeth whitening offers you the assurance and confidence that store-bought whitening toothpastes, strips, and kits cannot. That’s because our kits are customized to provide your row of teeth with even whitening gel coverage, and the ingredients have been clinically tested and proven to be both effective and safe for your enamel. As a result, you won’t have to worry about uncomfortable side-effects.

Our team will capture an impression of your teeth at the office. We’ll use the impression to fabricate a customized set of whitening trays for you. Based on the results you desire, Dr. Lavery will give you instructions on how regularly to use the whitening gel and trays, and how long you should wear them for. Typically, patients achieve their ideal results within two weeks of at-home use.

Tips for Maintaining a Brighter Smile

  • Maintain good at-home oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste and flossing daily.
  • Come in for your bi-annual checkups and cleanings with Dr. Lavery and our team.
  • Avoid consuming an abundance of staining foods and beverages.
  • If you do have staining foods or beverages, be sure to rinse your mouth afterwards.
  • Use a straw when drinking staining beverages like red wine and coffee.
