What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening uses peroxide-based solutions to remove built-up stains and discoloration from your teeth. Also called tooth bleaching, this treatment is a safe, fast, and reliable way to brighten your smile. Teeth whitening can transform your teeth in less than one hour, leaving you with noticeably whiter teeth and a more radiant smile.

At his office, Dr. Eaton offers professional teeth whitening services tailored to your specific needs and preferences. He uses advanced techniques and high-quality whitening agents to deliver optimal results while prioritizing your comfort and safety.

Why is professional teeth whitening better than at-home treatments?

Professional teeth whitening offers stronger, more effective whitening agents, like concentrated carbamide or hydrogen peroxide. With professional treatment, Dr. Eaton can customize the whitening process to suit your specific needs and ensure consistent, even results. 

In-office teeth whitening, supervised by Dr. Eaton, also minimizes the risk of damage to your teeth and gums while maximizing your smile’s brightness.

What happens during teeth whitening?

When you arrive for teeth whitening, Dr. Eaton uses protective barriers to cover your gums and lips during the treatment. Next, he applies a peroxide-based whitening solution to your teeth’s surface. This solution breaks down stains and discoloration, lifting them from your enamel.

Using specialized equipment, such as a curing light or laser, Dr. Eaton activates the whitening agent to enhance its effectiveness. Tell Dr. Eaton if you experience any sensitivity or discomfort during the procedure so he can adjust the settings to improve your comfort.

Your teeth will look noticeably whiter immediately after a single whitening treatment at Dr. Eaton’s office.

How can I extend my teeth whitening results?

Teeth whitening results gradually fade, but you can keep your teeth bright by:

• Maintaining food oral health by brushing and flossing regularly
• Avoiding tooth-staining foods and beverages, like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries
• Quitting tobacco product use, including cigarettes and chewing tobacco
• Using whitening toothpaste and touch-up kits
• Scheduling regular teeth cleanings and checkups

Depending on your results, Dr. Eaton may recommend visiting his office once or twice a year for maintenance whitening treatments. Regular visits can help address new stains and discoloration promptly, keeping your teeth sparkling and radiant.
