Professional Teeth Whitening in Arlington Heights, IL

Many people feel self-conscious about their teeth due to discoloration caused by poor hygiene, old age, or other factors. Professional teeth whitening treatments might be the perfect solution if you want to achieve a bright smile. These treatments involve applying a hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth and then activating the gel to release oxygen ions, which help break down interior and exterior staining. This bleaching process is incredibly effective and safe and usually causes little to no discomfort. You could see a significant improvement in your teeth’s appearance with just one treatment.

  • What are the benefits of teeth whitening?

    Teeth whitening brightens your smile, increasing your confidence and making you look healthier, happier, and younger. This can significantly improve your overall appearance, and you can often achieve it with just one treatment. Various teeth whitening options are available so that you can explore and choose the best one for you.

  • How is professional teeth whitening performed?

    Our dental office offers two types of professional teeth whitening services: in-office and custom-made trays.

    In-office procedures cover vulnerable areas inside your mouth, including the lips and gums, to prevent exposure to the high-concentrate hydrogen peroxide gel that we apply directly to your teeth. We then activate the gel, and you will rest comfortably for a short time until the gel works. Finally, we remove the coverings and rinse the gel away.

    For custom-made trays, we will take a custom mold of your teeth to make clear trays that you can take home with a whitening gel. These trays minimize the risk of the whitening gel affecting your gums or mouth, and you can quickly whiten your teeth from the comfort of your home. Simply place the whitening gel inside the trays and place the trays in your mouth.

  • How do I whiten my teeth at home?

    You can try a few simple remedies if you’re looking for ways to whiten your teeth at home without visiting a dentist. You can brush your teeth with baking soda, use hydrogen peroxide to brush or rinse on an occasional basis (dilute the peroxide to a 1.5% solution instead of using the standard 3% solution available over the counter), use apple cider vinegar as a brushing or rinsing agent, eat more fruits and vegetables as they are suitable for your overall health and dental health, avoid foods that can stain your teeth such as coffee, soda, and wine, limit your sugar intake, and don’t forget to brush and floss twice a day – it’s still one of the most powerful tools you have.
