The Benefits of Teeth Whitening

The biggest benefit of teeth whitening is that you’ll feel better about how you look. When you eliminate stains from your smile, you’ll feel a lot more confident smiling, speaking, and laughing around others.‍

Teeth staining can contribute to an aged look. Whitening your teeth can refresh your smile and help you achieve a more youthful appearance.

Teeth whitening also encourages you to take better care of your newly whitened smile by brushing and flossing regularly, which can improve your overall oral health.

The Take-Home Teeth Whitening

To begin the process, you’ll need to come to Vivid Dentistry for a consultation. Dr. Enzweiler will take impressions of your teeth to build a set of custom whitening trays.

In a few weeks, you’ll come back to pick up your trays.‍Along with your trays, Dr. Enzweiler will give you a set of whitening products and personalized instructions on their use. Then, all you’ll need to do is follow these instructions to whiten your teeth and enjoy a brighter smile.‍

Typically, treatment will take several weeks. Take-home whitening is more gradual compared to in-office whitening but will provide you with the same professional-grade results at the end of your treatment. Also, since it's more gradual there is often less of a chance that you will develop sensitivity issues than with in-office whitening.

Are There Any Side Effects?

The only common side effect of professional take-home whitening treatment is teeth sensitivity. This typically lasts only a few days after your treatment ends, and will not cause any serious discomfort.‍

However, make sure you tell Dr. Enzweiler if you have sensitive teeth before your treatment begins. She may modify your whitening program to minimize the risk of sensitivity and recommend that you brush with an anti-sensitivity toothpaste like Sensodyne.

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

Teeth whitening usually lasts between 1-2 years with proper at-home oral care, such as brushing twice a day and flossing once per day.

It is also important to see Dr. Enzweiler for routine teeth cleanings and oral exams to protect your oral health and fight back against surface stains. You can also get regular teeth whitening “touch-ups” at our office to ensure that your smile remains bright and beautiful for years to come.

How Many Teeth Whitening Sessions Do I Need?

At Vivid Dentistry, we now offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your lifestyle and whitening goals.

If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, our take-home teeth whitening kits are still a great choice. At your first appointment, Dr. Enzweiler will fit you for custom whitening trays. After a couple of weeks, you’ll return to pick up your trays, professional-grade whitening products, and instructions. Most patients whiten their teeth at home for about an hour a day, with treatment lasting anywhere from one to three weeks, depending on your desired level of brightness.

For faster results, we now offer in-office professional whitening. This treatment takes about an hour and does not require a Zoom light. It’s a convenient and effective option for removing stains and achieving a radiant smile in a single visit.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Enzweiler will help you determine the best whitening method for you and provide guidance on achieving your ideal level of brightness. Whether you choose take-home whitening or our in-office treatment, you can trust us to deliver stunning results!

Can I Whiten My Teeth If I Have Sensitive Teeth?

Yes. Even if you have sensitive teeth, you can get teeth whitening as long as your teeth are healthy. However, Dr. Enzweiler may need to perform an oral exam to ensure that your teeth are in good shape and that whitening is right for you.

This is because teeth sensitivity can sometimes indicate other oral health issues, like cavities or gum disease. You should only whiten your teeth if they’re healthy, so it’s important to have them checked before the treatment begins.

If your teeth are sensitive, Dr. Enzweiler may also adjust your treatment. For example, she may recommend a less-intense whitening product and shorter whitening sessions, along with an overall longer whitening treatment time. This can help mitigate whitening-induced sensitivity.

You may also find it helpful to use toothpaste like Sensodyne while you’re whitening your teeth, since it includes ingredients that help combat tooth sensitivity. We also recommend avoiding extremely hot and cold foods and drinks during the whitening process, since these often make sensitivity worse.
