Teeth Whitening – Durham, NC
The Solution for Stubborn Stains
Oftentimes, patients who are struggling with dental discoloration assume that an over-the-counter whitening kit will do the trick. However, the diluted brightening agents and flimsy applicators usually lead to lackluster results at best. That’s why we recommend a different solution: professional teeth whitening! If you are interested in learning about the in-office and take-home treatments that we offer, read on or get in touch with a helpful member of our team.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
If your teeth and gums are healthy, but you’re having trouble smiling confidently because of stubborn stains, then there’s a good chance that you’re a candidate. So, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at our office! During your visit, we will complete a comprehensive oral exam, pinpointing the cause of the stains in the process. Then, we will share our findings and determine if this is the best cosmetic dental treatment for you.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
At our office, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. During your consultation, we will discuss the benefits of each to help you decide which one is ideal for you. In the meantime, you can read on to learn a little more, including which one we recommend if you have a special event coming up.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Would you prefer to whiten your teeth at home and on your own schedule? If so, we can give you an Opalescence take-home kit! It will include everything you need, including powerful, safe, and effective whitening gel. After about two weeks of consistent use, you’ll have the bright, beautiful smile that you desire.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you have a special event coming up, like a graduation or class reunion, then you may prefer an in-office treatment. After all, ZOOM! can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single visit. Plus, we’ll handle the entire process, so you can relax comfortably in the treatment chair while we work to lift stubborn stains.
