Teeth Whitening
Want to improve your smile's appearance without involved cosmetic procedures? Many patients at North Seattle Smiles who want a smile enhancement are pleased to learn that all they may need is professional teeth whitening. Whether you want immediate results with a professional in-office treatment or the convenience of take-home whitening, we can help you attain a bright, white smile.
What Causes Tooth Stains and Discoloration?
We all experience a gradual dulling of our smiles as we age. This occurs over time as microscopic pores in your teeth collect stains and food debris. However, several other factors contribute to dull, stained, or discolored teeth:
- Lack of diligent oral hygiene that allows staining elements to sit on your teeth.
- Consuming staining foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, colas, dark berries, or marinara sauce.
- Using tobacco products of any type, including chewing, smoking, and vaping.
Professional teeth whitening can lift these tooth stains quickly and effectively and restore a brighter, more youthful-looking smile.
Teeth Whitening Options Tailored to Your Needs
Understanding that each of our patients has unique needs, we offer two options for getting the brighter smile you want.
Fast Results with In-Office Teeth Whitening
On a timeline for a wedding, class reunion, or job interview and want to present your brightest smile? In-office teeth whitening is the perfect option because it delivers immediate results. The process takes a little over an hour, and you can expect your smile to look several shades brighter.
Convenient Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
If you want a more convenient and affordable option, a custom take-home whitening kit can eliminate tooth stains in as little as two weeks. Unlike one-size-fits-all whitening trays at your supermarket, ours are customized just for you.
We take tooth impressions to create whitening trays that cover all surfaces of your teeth evenly. The results are more consistent, and the whitening gel we provide will stay on your teeth and protect sensitive gum tissue.
Start with a Clean, Fresh Smile
If you’re interested in brightening your smile with teeth whitening, we recommend starting with professional teeth cleaning. This step removes plaque and tartar, allowing for maximum contact with your teeth and the brightest, most consistent results.
To maintain your smile’s brightness, brush and floss consistently and avoid staining foods. Scheduling routine teeth cleanings will help remove surface stains and extend the results as long as possible.
