What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a procedure that removes stains from your teeth to whiten them, make them aesthetically pleasing, and help you gain confidence. The Melillo Dental team offers in-office and at-home teeth whitening to give you the bright smile of your dreams.

Teeth whitening is a simple, painless procedure that offers you dramatic whitening results. You can gain self-esteem and achieve a beautiful smile without any downtime.

What causes teeth staining?

A variety of foods, drinks, and lifestyle habits can cause teeth staining. Examples include:

• Smoking
• Poor oral hygiene
• Some medications
• Berries
• Dark juices
• Wine
• Coffee
• Tea
• Cola
• Popsicles 

Fortunately, stained teeth are easily treatable with teeth whitening from Melillo Dental. Routine whitening can help you achieve a whiter, brighter smile long-term.

Is teeth whitening right for me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for teeth whitening at Melillo Dental, your dentist reviews your dental history, examines your teeth and gums, and takes dental X-rays if needed. If you have gum disease or tooth decay, your specialist can first treat your condition.

What happens during teeth whitening?

During teeth whitening procedures, you can expect the following:

In-office teeth whitening

With in-office whitening, your provider uses whitening gel and trays. They place the trays over your teeth and may use a special light to speed up the whitening process while you relax in a comfortable dental chair. In-office whitening can make your teeth many shades whiter after just one treatment.

At-home teeth whitening

Your Melillo Dental specialist can give you custom-fitted teeth whitening trays and professional-strength whitening gel to whiten your teeth at home when your schedule allows. Follow your dentist’s instructions to achieve the best whitening results.

How can I keep my teeth white?

Brushing your teeth after meals, flossing daily, not smoking, limiting foods and drinks that stain, and attending six-month dental cleanings is the best way to keep your teeth white. Periodic teeth whitening with Melillo Dental can help you maintain brighter teeth long-term.

Don’t let stained teeth ruin your self-confidence and diminish the appearance of your smile. Call the Melillo Dental office or book a teeth whitening appointment online today.
