with Professional Teeth Whitening

Have you noticed that your teeth seem to be more yellow than they used to be?

Stained teeth are common, particularly in those who smoke or regularly drink coffee. Others find that their teeth have yellowed with no apparent cause. With the popularity of at-home teeth whitening strips, you may be wondering about the best teeth whiteners currently available.

“I can’t believe how much better my smile looks after a professional whitening with Dr. Kamboh. It really is amazing! If I’d known my teeth could have looked this good, I would have gotten it done a long time ago.

Dan, Leesburg, VA

When Dan quit smoking nearly 15 years ago, he enjoyed the benefits of not being a smoker anymore. “I could breathe better, I felt better,” he says. “The only thing that didn’t change was my teeth.”

Dan’s teeth had long been stained from his tobacco use. After attempting to use whitening toothpaste and home whitening products, Dan still couldn’t get rid of the stains. “That’s when I decided it was time to seek professional help.”

Dr. Kamboh met with Dan to discuss his teeth whitening procedure as well as how bright he wanted his smile to be. After scheduling a thorough cleaning to remove surface stains, Dr. Kamboh was able to whiten Dan’s teeth at the office in just one session.

“It was so easy… I’d do it again in a heartbeat,” Dan says. “I can’t thank Dr. Kamboh enough for giving me my smile back. It feels like I never even smoked and my teeth are finally back to normal after all this time!”

There are several different options for dentist tooth whitening.

First, Dr. Kamboh can create custom whitening trays fitted to your teeth. This allows you to complete the whitening process at home by wearing the trays a few hours at a time. Most people find that it takes about a week to notice results with this teeth whitening method.

If you wish to have your teeth whitening completed in our Lansdowne dentist’s office, there are several methods available, with the two most common being peroxide-based tooth whitening gel or laser tooth whitening. During conventional tooth whitening, the bleaching compound is applied to the teeth. Professional teeth whitening is much more effective than at-home options because dentists can offer much higher concentration gel. This gel breaks up stains after being activated with a special light.

Laser teeth whitening requires everyone in the room to wear protective eyewear. A special gel is spread on the teeth to absorb laser light energy. This laser penetrates the tooth enamel, increasing the whitening effect. With either in-office method, the process usually takes about an hour, depending on the severity of discoloration. Unlike the weeks-long process of using an at-home teeth whitening kit, dentist whitening offers immediate results. The results do vary from patient to patient, although most people find that their teeth are six to ten shades lighter after the treatment.

Professional teeth whitening treatments can restore your teeth to a pearly white appearance, which can drastically chance the appearance of your smile.

To determine which are the best teeth whiteners for you, consider the effectiveness, the length of time before results can be seen, as well as your comfort with the procedure.

Common FAQs on Professional Teeth Whitening

What is the best way to whiten your teeth?

Professional teeth whitening is an efficient, safe and effective choice for brightening your smile.

Does whitening damage your teeth?

As long as you are starting with healthy teeth and healthy gums, professional teeth whitening will not damage your teeth.

Many over-the-counter and at-home teeth whitening products contain significant amounts of peroxide, which can irritate the soft tissues in your mouth if used incorrectly.

Can yellow teeth become white?

The great news is that, yes, most stains—even those caused by medication—can be dramatically improved. However, different stains require different treatment times. The natural yellow and blue/grey tooth shades will whiten faster than a tooth with added stains from medication, tobacco, and food.
