Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the fastest and easiest ways to enhance your smile. We offer at-home treatments. The effects are long-lasting and can help you brighten a smile dulled by aging, food and drink stains, or fluorosis.

Some common methods of teeth whitening include:

At-Home Tray Whitening

During your visit, you will receive custom-fitted trays to take home. Simply place the whitening gel in your trays, and as the peroxide in the gel breaks down, hydroxyradicals will whiten stained teeth. Whitening generally takes 10 to 14 days, although you may see results in as little as 3 to 5 days.

Over-the-Counter Whitening

There are many over-the-counter teeth whitening options, including teeth whitening strips that use a thin film of hydrogen peroxide pressed across your teeth. Even though they are readily available at drug stores, it’s best to consult with Drs. Di Santo before use.

Paint-On Teeth Whiteners

Paint-on whiteners are cheaper but less effective than whitening strips or professional options. A gel is applied to the teeth using a small brush, which hardens into a film that coats the teeth and dissolves in the mouth.

Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash

The cheapest options are whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes, which can remove surface stains using mild abrasives without actually lightening the shade of the tooth.
