Teeth whitening can do wonders for a great looking smile

Using the latest technologies in teeth whitening procedures, we make it fast and easy for you to achieve a brighter set of pearly whites. Our experienced team of professionals offers comfortable, convenient and effective care and is committed to achieving optimal aesthetic results for each and every patient.
Exposure to certain foods and beverages, such as berries, coffee and wine, as well as tobacco use, can discolor your teeth over time. Aging can also cause your smile to appear lackluster and dull, as enamel begins to thin, exposing more of the yellowish, underlying dentin. But thanks to advances in cosmetic dental care, a teeth whitening treatment can erase years of stains and restore your smile’s youthful vibrancy.
Teeth whitening options: professional and at-home
Professional treatment involves a higher concentration of whitening components than over-the-counter treatments to provide safer, faster and more effective results. With our in-office treatment, we apply a prescription grade whitening agent to the surfaces of your teeth, breaking down stains to reveal a smile that’s several shades brighter in just one short visit. For your convenience, we can also prescribe a whitening kit for you to use in the comfort of your own home. The home whitening method brightens your teeth more gradually, but is equally effective, and can also be used to perfect and maintain the whiteness of your smile following an in-office treatment.
A dazzling white smile can give you the confidence to thrive in your social and professional life. With professional teeth whitening one of our specialties, the office of David M. Seidman, DDS can help you achieve the radiant smile you deserve. To learn more about the procedure and the many other services we provide, give us a call today.
While an overwhelming selection of over-the-counter teeth whitening products is readily available for purchase at stores or online, it's imperative to keep in mind that the healthiest and most effective methods of care are those professionally supervised by your dentist. With a teeth whitening procedure provided by our office, we can safely, comfortably, and effectively transform your smile by up to several shades in a short amount of time.
Teeth whitening offers a simple and non-invasive to whiten and brighten your smile. Whitening products contain various strengths of biologically safe hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that act as bleaching agents on stained or discolored dental enamel. By breaking the stains into smaller pieces, these bleaching agents make the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter.
Every patient is different, and despite the fact that many people experience no sensitivity or pain with a professional teeth whitening, there are some that do. Although considered a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, some temporary discomfort during and following the procedure may ensue. It helps to stick to room temperature beverages for a few days following a teeth whitening. You can also take over-the-counter pain medication as you would for a headache. If you have a history of sensitive teeth, we may select a gentler formulation of whitening products or an alternative procedure.
It's essential to keep in mind that every patient has unique needs and specific requirements of care. In general, individuals with yellow tones to their teeth respond best to teeth whitening. Brown and grayish tinted teeth bleach respond less well and may require significantly longer dentist-supervised tooth whitening regimens or alternative cosmetic treatments. Finally, teeth whitening may not be recommended in the presence of sensitive teeth, worn enamel, and significant gum disease.
For darkly stained teeth, a whitening procedure may not provide the cosmetic results desired. In these cases, we'll talk about alternative options such as porcelain veneers or full-coverage crowns.
Teeth whitening only works on natural teeth. The fact that whiteners do not affect the color of existing dental fillings, veneers, bonding, crowns, or bridges on the front teeth remains an important consideration when choosing the best cosmetic option in care.
As a rule, the healthiest and most effective methods of teeth whitening are the ones managed and supervised by your dentist. You can count on our office to provide the most effective, safest, and satisfying professional-strength options to whiten, brighten, and lighten your smile! Stay away from over-the-counter products, which may be overly abrasive or put the health of your teeth and the surrounding soft tissues at risk. While these products may work when healthy teeth and gums are present, they're often ineffective or problematic when sensitive teeth, exposed roots, cavities, broken fillings, cracked teeth, or loose dental work are the case.
How long your teeth whitening lasts depends on your lifestyle. Your eating, drinking, and smoking habits can have a significant impact on maintaining your result. Of course, the best way to ensure that your smile stays healthy and beautiful is a good daily oral healthcare regimen, along with regular dental checkups and cleanings.
It's essential to keep in mind that as a cosmetic dental procedure, a teeth whitening may not be covered by your insurance plan. We understand the financial considerations involved in care and do our best to help you get the treatment you need without any additional stress or delay. We offer several payment options and financing plans to make things easier.
At the office of David M. Seidman, DDS, we want every patient to enjoy the benefits of a smile that is as beautiful as it is healthy. In addition to offering a comprehensive range of advanced services to keep your smile in tip-top health, we also provide leading-edge cosmetic solutions to transform less-than-perfect-looking teeth into ones that dazzle.
