Teeth Whitening Services in Charlotte, NC

Professional teeth whitening services involve using strong bleaching agents and specialized equipment. Yellowed teeth can dull your smile and take away from your confidence. There are a number of different factors that can cause discolored teeth, such as poor hygiene, old age, and frailty of teeth that can be caused by a few different things.

Our dentists will first evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. If so, they will apply a bleaching gel to your teeth and use a special light or laser to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process. The hydrogen peroxide gel then activates the gel, releasing oxygen ions. The oxygen ions flood your teeth and break down interior and exterior staining. In as little as one treatment, professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile.  This process is safe and effective, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort.

  • What are the benefits of teeth whitening?

    Teeth whitening brightens your smile which can raise confidence, and help you appear healthier and happier, and younger—even more energetic. This can go a long way in improving your overall appearance and can sometimes be achieved in just one treatment.

  • How is professional teeth whitening performed?

    Our office currently offers two different types of professional whitening services: in-office and custom-made trays.

    • In-office. These procedures start by covering up vulnerable areas inside the mouth, including the lips and gums, to prevent exposure to the peroxide. Then, we apply a high-concentrate hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the teeth and activate it. You will rest comfortably for a short time until the gel does its work. Then we remove the coverings and rinse the gel away.
    • Custom-made trays. We will take a custom mold of your teeth to make clear trays that you take home, along with a whitening gel. These trays help minimize the risk of whitening gel affecting your gums or mouth and you can whiten your teeth from the comfort of your home. All you have to do is place the whitening gel inside the trays and place the trays in your mouth.
  • How do I whiten my teeth at home?

    If you’re looking for a teeth whitening remedy without coming to the dentist, there are a few simple things you can try at home. Such as brushing with baking soda, using hydrogen peroxide to brush, or rinse with occasionally (cut the peroxide in half so you are using a 1.5% solution and not a 3% solution, which is common for over-the-counter). Other options are using apple cider vinegar as a brushing or rinsing agent, eating more fruits and vegetables—they are good for your body and your teeth, limiting foods that stain your teeth such as soda, coffee, and wine, and limiting your sugar intake.

    One of the most important things you can do is to always remember to brush and floss twice a day—it’s still a powerful tool.
