Brighten Your Smile & Boost Your Confidence With Professional Teeth Whitening in NYC

Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about your teeth? Do you wish your smile was brighter and more attractive? If so, you’re not alone. Many people in New York are unhappy with the color of their teeth, but thankfully, there is a solution: professional teeth whitening.

At our dental office, Dr. A offers professional teeth whitening services to help you achieve the bright, white smile you’ve always wanted. With years of experience and a commitment to using only the safest and most effective techniques, Dr. A is the perfect choice for anyone looking for teeth whitening in New York.

How it works

Over time your teeth darken as minerals penetrate their outer enamel layer. In addition to the natural aging process, this darkening can be caused by foods and beverages that stain such as coffee, colas, tea, red wine, or berries. Tobacco products can cause teeth to take on a yellowish-brown hue as well. Smile Design Dental Studio offers our patients in-office power whitening and at-home whitening. You choose the system that’s right for you.

At-Home-Whitening

Take-home kits incorporate an easy-to-use lower-concentration peroxide gel that remains on the teeth for an hour or longer (sometimes overnight). The lower the peroxide percentage, the longer it may safely remain on the teeth. The gel is applied to the teeth using custom-made bleaching trays that resemble mouth guards. Typically, you will begin to see results within two to three weeks of regular use.

In-Office-Whitening

Significant color change in a short period is the major benefit of in-office whitening. This whitening option involves the carefully controlled use of a relatively high-concentration peroxide gel, applied to the teeth after the gums have been protected with a paint-on rubber dam. Generally, the peroxide remains on the teeth for approximately 15 to 20-minute intervals that add up to an hour (at most). Those with particularly stubborn staining may be advised to return for one or more additional bleaching sessions or may be asked to continue with a home-use whitening system.

Increased Confidence: When you feel good about your smile, it can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Teeth whitening can help you feel more confident and comfortable in social situations.

Maintaining Your Results

In addition, Dr. A can provide you with tips and recommendations for maintaining your results, such as using a whitening toothpaste or touch-up treatments.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. However, it’s not right for everyone. During your initial consultation with Dr. A, we’ll evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals to determine if teeth whitening is the best option for you.

Some factors that may affect your suitability for teeth whitening include the presence of tooth decay or gum disease, as well as the use of certain medications or previous dental work. If teeth whitening is not a good option for you, Dr. A can discuss other cosmetic dental treatments that may be more appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
