How Take-Home Whitening Works

Take-home whitening kits use a tray and a gel whitening solution. The tray will be custom fitted to your mouth. Wear the tray as prescribed by Dr. Michael Wilhite; usually, the tray is worn for several hours a day or at night for up to four weeks. After desired results are reached, you can do touch-up bleaching on a monthly basis. Bleaching will not whiten porcelain crowns or composite tooth-colored bonding or fillings. It is an excellent choice to bleach your teeth before restorative or cosmetic work is done on front teeth to achieve the most beautiful result possible.

To help maintain the results of teeth whitening, avoid acidic and tannin-rich foods and beverages like:

  • Black teas and coffee
  • Red and white wine
  • Sports drinks
  • Carbonated beverages
  • Berries
  • Strongly colored foods
  • Sauces (soy, tomato and curry)

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening

What is professional teeth whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that brightens teeth by reducing stains and discoloration. Our dentist may recommend this service for patients who want a cleaner, more refreshed smile and more noticeable results than many over-the-counter products provide.

Why do teeth become stained or discolored?

Teeth can become stained over time from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, certain foods, and the natural aging process. Some discoloration may also come from medications or trauma. Our dentist can help determine the most effective way to improve tooth color.

How is professional teeth whitening different from store-bought products?

Professional teeth whitening is designed to deliver stronger, more consistent results than many store-bought options. It is also supervised by our dentist, which allows treatment to be tailored to your needs, comfort level, and the type of discoloration present.

What are the benefits of teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening can brighten your smile, reduce visible stains, and help you feel more confident in social and professional settings. It is a simple cosmetic treatment that can make a noticeable difference. Our dentist can recommend the right whitening approach.
