Professional Teeth Whitening

Tooth Whitening Patient of Dr. Handschuh, a dentist near ScarsdaleActual tooth whitening patient of The Dental Design Center near Scarsdale, NY.Most people are candidates for some type of tooth whitening procedure.

Professional teeth whitening is a wonderful and minimally invasive way to enhance your smile.

Tooth whitening is also painless, other than short-term cold sensitivity for some people.

Specific types of tooth whitening procedures work better for different stains. Most perform best on stains that are brownish or yellow.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Grayish stains or discolorations can also be treated with some types of tooth whitening, but some deep stains coming from beneath the enamel may not respond to tooth whitening treatments. In these cases, porcelain veneers can be an attractive option.

General stains (such as from coffee, tea, tobacco, soda, wine, and from age) can be successfully treated using teeth whitening procedures, dramatically lightening the teeth in about an hour at our Westchester County office.

Over-the-Counter vs. Professional Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening in White Plains,NY
At-home teeth whitening treatments can be an effective and inexpensive way to get a brighter smile, but the results are not nearly as reliable or as strong as professional teeth whitening. Popular over-the-counter methods include strips, trays, and charcoal teeth whitening powders, but their results can be varied depending on the nature of the stains on your teeth. Professional teeth whitening methods used in our White Plains office include ZOOM® Advanced Teeth Whitening and POLAOFFICE®, both of which can get your teeth up to six shades brighter in one hour. While some mild discomfort may result from the heat emitted from the lights used in the process, teeth whitening does no damage to your teeth or gums.
