When struggling with tooth staining or discoloration, you may feel less confident during your everyday activities. Millions of Americans have yellowed or stained teeth caused by aging, consuming certain beverages, or even genetics. Dental hygiene can also play a role in your natural tooth color, as plaque buildup can cause discoloration.

If you’ve wondered how to brighten your smile safely and quickly, the best place to start is with a dentist. Teeth whitening in Fishkill performed by an expert allows you to dramatically change your appearance in just a few hours. Keep reading to learn more about this affordable and straightforward procedure.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Often referred to as chairside teeth whitening or power bleaching, in-office teeth whitening is an effective way to turn back the clock and achieve a gleaming smile. While many do-it-yourself whitening options can produce some brightening, only whitening performed by a teeth bleaching dentist can ensure dramatic results.

In fact, many teeth whitening patients see results that are up to six shades brighter. The concentrated gel used by bleaching dentists removes years of buildup, resulting in a dazzling smile. The dentist may also use light or heat to speed up the brightening process.

Professional whitening is ideal for natural tooth enamel that’s stained due to the aging process or consuming dark foods and beverages. Veneers, crowns, and fillings cannot be brightened using a teeth whitening system. If your teeth are discolored due to broken fillings, cavities, or tetracycline, they will not respond to the bleaching gel. Your dentist may recommend a separate treatment to address these issues.

No matter what your dental whitening needs, we’re here to help you achieve a healthy-looking smile. Give us a call to find out if you’re a candidate for teeth whitening in Fishkill.

Can You Professionally Whiten Teeth at Home?

Visiting a teeth bleaching dentist is a great way to regain your smile’s radiance, but with at-home whitening kits, you can receive dramatic results at home. We provide these systems to our patients as an easy-to-use and convenient teeth bleaching option.

At-home whitening kits consist of a series of trays that are fitted to your teeth. During your appointment, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth, which are sent to the lab that will fabricate the trays. Once the trays return from the lab, you may require a second appointment to ensure the trays fit properly. The dentist will also record the original shade of your teeth so he or she can track your progress.

You can achieve a brighter smile even in the comfort of your home, call us now to find out more.

How Much Does Teeth Bleaching Cost?

Many people wonder how much teeth whitening costs when considering treatment. The cost of whitening generally depends on the type of system used, the number of follow-up visits you need, and whether you choose to continue treatment at home.

Whitening your teeth is typically considered cosmetic, meaning that it isn’t covered by insurance. However, there may be special offers that can make the cost more affordable. Contact us now to find out more.

What’s the Difference Between In-office Teeth Whitening vs. Do-it-yourself Whitening?

There are multiple over-the-counter teeth whitening products available, including toothpastes, mouthwashes, and strips. These products can produce some visible results; however, their ingredients aren’t as potent as those in professional-grade bleaching solutions. Plus, do-it-yourself whitening options can result in uneven bleaching or even gum irritation when used improperly.

Only an experienced dentist can ensure consistent, long-lasting results with a professional teeth whitening system. Since chairside whitening is conducted under supervision, the risk of irritation is reduced. Learn more about the benefits of in-office teeth whitening by giving us a call.

Does Getting Teeth Whitening Hurt?

The teeth whitening procedure is a straightforward and pain-free process that may vary depending on the type of treatment used. The following describes a typical whitening procedure:

To prepare your teeth for brightening, the dentist will examine, clean, and dry your teeth so that the bleaching gel can be adhered.
The dentist may take photos of your teeth to record their original shade. Then, he or she will track your progress once the gel is administered.
A cheek retractor will be used to allow the dentist to reach your visible teeth. Then, a protective coating will be applied to the gums to protect them from irritation.
The dentist will apply several coatings of the bleaching gel to your teeth. The number of coatings and how long they are left in place will depend on the desired shade.
Some treatments involve light or heat to speed up the brightening gel.
Once the gel application is complete, the dentist will examine your newly brightened smile to see if further treatment is necessary. Many patients opt to visit our office for a second appointment while others may choose teeth whitening at home.

With our affordable whitening treatment, you can restore your smile’s former vibrance. Make an appointment today by giving us a call.
