How does professional teeth whitening differ from over-the-counter products?
Arrow

Professional teeth whitening offers several advantages over store-bought kits:

  • Stronger whitening agents: Professional treatments use medical-grade bleaching agents that provide more effective and longer-lasting results.
  • Customization: Treatments, including custom trays, are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring even whitening and achieving your desired shade.
  • Supervised by a dentist: A teeth whitening dentist ensures safety and minimizes the risk of gum irritation or uneven results.
  • Faster results: In-office treatments deliver noticeable brightness in a single session, while take-home kits provide gradual but reliable outcomes.

With professional teeth whitening services, you get superior results compared to over-the-counter products, making it the best choice for your smile.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Arrow

Yes, professional teeth whitening is completely safe when performed by a qualified dentist. Here’s why:

  • Supervision: Treatments are monitored by a dentist to prevent overexposure to bleaching agents.
  • Safe products: Only dental-grade whitening agents are used, which are safe for teeth and gums, minimizing the risk of tooth discoloration.
  • Minimal risk of side effects: Techniques are designed to minimize risks like gum irritation or tooth enamel damage.

At Captain Dental, our teeth whitening procedures prioritize your safety and comfort, ensuring a worry-free experience.

How does professional teeth whitening differ from over-the-counter products?
Arrow

Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after whitening, but this is typically mild and resolves within a few days.

  • Minimized risk: Professional whitening includes techniques and products designed to reduce sensitivity.
  • Post-treatment care: Dentists provide instructions and products to soothe any sensitivity, such as fluoride treatments or desensitizing toothpaste.

Let your teeth whitening dentist know if you have a history of sensitivity so we can tailor the treatment to your needs.

Can everyone undergo teeth whitening?
Arrow

While most people are good candidates for teeth whitening treatments, there are some exceptions. Ideal candidates are those with healthy teeth and gums and no major restorations (e.g., crowns or veneers on front teeth).

A teeth whitening procedure is not recommended for:

  • Pregnant or nursing women.
  • Individuals with untreated cavities or gum disease.
  • People with extreme tooth sensitivity.

A dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine if whitening is right for you. Captain Dental ensures every patient receives a personalized assessment to determine the best treatment plan.

How can I maintain my teeth whitening results?
Arrow

Maintaining your teeth whitening results requires a combination of good oral hygiene and smart lifestyle choices:

  • Oral care: Brush twice daily and floss regularly to keep your teeth clean.
  • Avoid staining foods and drinks: Limit coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods to aid in effective stain removal.
  • Use a straw: When consuming staining beverages, use a straw to reduce contact with teeth.
  • Regular touch-ups: Use dentist-recommended take-home kits for periodic whitening maintenance.
  • Routine cleanings: Visit your dentist for professional cleanings every six months to keep your smile bright.

Following these steps will help extend the life of your professional teeth whitening procedure.
