What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses highly concentrated whitening agents to dramatically brighten your teeth. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional treatments are customized to create optimal results in a short amount of time. Our team uses the latest techniques and whitening solutions to remove stains effectively while protecting your gums and enamel.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening

- Fast Results: Noticeable improvement in as little as one session.
- Customized Treatment: Get personalized care that fits your teeth's needs and your comfort level.
- Boosts Confidence: A whiter smile can enhance your appearance and improve your self-confidence.
What You Should Know About Teeth Whitening Process
At Newark Dental Associates, we offer both in-office whitening and at-home professional kits. Here’s what you can expect:
In-Office Whitening
Your teeth are cleaned thoroughly to make sure the whitening agent adheres effectively.
-
A protective barrier is applied to your gums.
-
A whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated by a special light, enhancing the whitening process.
-
You’ll see results in just one session, with teeth becoming five to eight shades whiter.
At-Home Whitening Kits
-
During your first visit, we take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays.
-
At your second appointment, you’ll receive your whitening kit, including the trays and professional-grade whitening gel.
-
Our team provides detailed instructions on how to use the trays at home. Typically, you’ll wear them for a few hours each day, and the results are visible after three to five days of use.
Most patients experience noticeable results after just a few applications, but full results are usually achieved in about two weeks.
Teeth Whitening Candidacy
Wondering if you're a good candidate for professional teeth whitening? Generally, most adults with healthy teeth and gums can benefit from this procedure. However, you may not be an ideal candidate if you have:
- Extensive tooth decay or untreated gum disease
- Sensitive teeth
- Dental restorations like crowns or veneers, as whitening treatments won’t affect their color
During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and discuss any concerns to determine if professional whitening is the right option for you.
Teeth Whitening Aftercare
Maintaining your bright, new smile is easy with a few simple aftercare tips:
- Avoid Stain-Causing Foods and Drinks: Limit your intake of coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sodas. If you do consume them, try using a straw to minimize contact with your teeth.
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing twice a day with a whitening toothpaste and flossing daily can help maintain the results.
- Regular Touch-Ups: Depending on your lifestyle and oral habits, we may recommend touch-up treatments every six to 12 months to keep your smile bright.
Following these aftercare guidelines will create long-lasting results from your whitening treatment.
Cost of Professional Teeth Whitening
How much does professional teeth whitening cost? The price can vary based on the type of treatment you choose:
- In-office whitening: Typically ranges from $300 to $600 per session.
- At-home professional kits: Range between $150 and $300.
