      Optimal Timing for Teeth Whitening

      Our dental professionals emphasize that teeth whitening does not affect the color of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. It is advisable to undergo whitening procedures before getting any of these dental restorations. This strategy allows subsequent dental work to be color-coordinated with your newly brightened teeth.

      Professional whitening effectively lifts stains and discoloration both on the surface and from deeper layers of your teeth.

      Causes of Tooth Stains and Discoloration?

      Surface-Level Staining: The outer layer of our teeth, known as enamel, is incredibly strong and mineral-rich, making it the most durable substance in the human body. However, this layer is also porous, containing tiny openings that can absorb staining agents from various sources, such as:

      • Dark-colored beverages like tea, coffee, red wine, colas, and fruit juices.
      • Dark sauces, including tomato and soy.
      • Foods and drinks high in sugar.
      • Vibrantly colored fruits such as berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
      • Tobacco products.
      • Additionally, factors such as inadequate nutrition and poor oral hygiene practices contribute to the discoloration of teeth.

      Deep-Level Staining: Beneath the enamel lies another layer of the tooth that is naturally yellowish or grayish in color. Over time, as enamel thins due to wear and tear, this underlying color becomes more visible, leading to a less vibrant smile. Other factors like certain medications, illnesses, and dental injuries can also affect the coloration of this inner tooth layer.

      Premier Options for Brightening Your Smile

      Teeth whitening stands as a non-invasive method to enhance your teeth’s natural colour, avoiding the need for procedures such as veneers. Achieving a brighter smile through our professional service or by using one of our custom take-home kits can deliver noticeable results without causing prolonged sensitivity.

      In-Office Whitening Sessions

      The most efficient approach for many is a professional treatment conducted within our clinic. This process involves the application of a bleaching agent onto your teeth via custom-fitting trays. A specialized laser then heats the solution, triggering oxygen molecules that break down stains on the enamel, providing instant improvements. This method is designed to minimize sensitivity and protect your gums.

      Customized Home Whitening Kits

      For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, our personalized kits are ideal. They include trays tailored to fit the unique shape of your teeth, ensuring an even and thorough whitening effect. Crafted from impressions of your own teeth, our trays offer a superior fit that helps prevent discomfort and irritation, gradually enhancing your smile over three to four weeks.

      Contact us today

      Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

      Cost of Professional Teeth Whitening Services in Wellesley

      The cost of undergoing teeth whitening in a dental office falls roughly between $600 and $1200, reflecting the expertise and resources utilized during the procedure. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, take-home kits supervised by dental professionals are available, ranging from $300 to $600.

      The significant price disparity between in-office treatments and take-home kits can be attributed to various factors, including the level of professional oversight, the strength of whitening agents used, and the method of application:

      In-Office Whitening

      • Conducted by skilled dental experts.
      • Precision application minimizes gum irritation and sensitivity.
      • Utilizes potent whitening agents for immediate results.
      • Offers the quickest path to a brighter smile.

      Take-Home Kits

      • Professional-grade whitening agents surpass over-the-counter options in effectiveness.
      • Achieve visibly brighter teeth in a matter of weeks.
      • Custom trays ensure easy application and uniform coverage, lowering the risk of irritation.

      For detailed pricing or additional information, we encourage contacting our office to schedule an appointment or consultation.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      When food and drink residues aren’t adequately removed, bacteria lead to plaque buildup on your teeth. Without regular and thorough brushing, plaque eventually calcifies into tartar, a hardened substance that a dental professional must remove. Insufficient brushing habits can result in a yellowish buildup around your teeth.

      Although teeth whitening is generally safe, it is not uncommon to experience sensitivity after the treatment, particularly during the initial sessions. This sensitivity often lessens over time, but it is crucial to adhere to the product’s usage instructions.

      Cosmetic dental work such as crowns, veneers, or fillings, especially on front teeth, won’t be affected by whitening treatments. This may cause these dental works to become more noticeable as the natural teeth around them become lighter.

      Dental insurance typically does not cover teeth whitening procedures. It is advisable to consult with your insurance provider for coverage details, and we can assist by providing an estimate for your insurance submission.

      To maintain your whitening results, steer clear of foods and beverages that could stain a white shirt. This includes avoiding drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods such as soy sauce, chocolate, and all fruits except bananas.

      The durability of teeth whitening varies based on the method used and your dental hygiene practices, lasting anywhere from 6 months to 3 years.
