Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is generally safe and effective for most people. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain dental conditions, such as gum disease or tooth decay. That's why it's important to schedule a consultation with your dentist to determine if teeth whitening is right for you.

How much does whitening cost?

The cost of teeth whitening can vary depending on the type of treatment and the dental office you visit. At Siena Dental, we have competitive fees for our services, as well as flexible financing options to help make your treatment more accessible.

How does teeth whitening work?

Teeth whitening works by using a special gel that contains a bleaching agent, typically either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. This gel is applied directly to the teeth and then activated with a special light, which helps to break up stains and discoloration on the tooth surface.

Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?

Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation following a whitening treatment. However, these side effects are typically mild and should subside within a few days.

How long does teeth whitening take?

In-office teeth whitening treatments typically take around an hour to complete, while at-home treatments may take several days or weeks to achieve the desired results. However, the exact length of treatment will depend on the severity of the staining and the type of whitening product being used.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Whitening results can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on the individual and their lifestyle habits. To help maintain your whitening results, it's important to practice good oral hygiene, avoid tobacco products, and limit your consumption of staining foods and beverages.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, teeth whitening is generally safe when done under the supervision of a dental professional. However, it is important to note that overuse or misuse of whitening products can cause damage to the teeth and gums. That's why it's important to only use whitening products as directed by your dentist.

Zoom Whitening in One Visit

We use Zoom in-office whitening, one of the most trusted professional whitening systems. Here’s how your visit goes:

We protect your gums and lips so only your teeth are treated.
Your dentist applies a professional-strength whitening gel.
A blue LED light activates the gel to break up stains.
We finish with a fluoride treatment to help protect your enamel.

The whole process takes about an hour, and most people see teeth several shades brighter.

Why Whiten at the Dentist?

Store-bought strips use weaker formulas, and they can take weeks to show results. They also can’t tell you why your teeth are stained. Before we whiten, your dentist checks for cavities, gum problems, or worn enamel that could make whitening uncomfortable. You get faster results, and you know your teeth are healthy enough for treatment.

What Whitening Can and Can't Do

Whitening works best on stains from food, drinks, tobacco, and aging. It doesn’t change the color of fillings, crowns, or veneers, and some deep stains, like those from certain medications or a tooth injury, may not respond fully.

If whitening won’t give you the result you want, we’ll talk through other options, such as veneers or bonding. We can also help you plan whitening around other cosmetic dentistry, since whitening first lets us match new crowns or veneers to your brighter shade.

Keeping Your Smile Bright

Rinse with water after coffee, tea, or red wine.
Brush twice a day and floss daily.
Keep up with your regular cleanings.
Avoid tobacco, which stains quickly.
