Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a versatile treatment that can create favorable results for most people who are unhappy with the shade of their smile. Before you can receive teeth whitening, our team will thoroughly examine your mouth so we can understand the source of the discoloration and make sure your teeth and gums are free of infections. The agents used in teeth whitening can damage the teeth or gums if the patient has any untreated tooth decay or gum disease. Once these issues have been resolved, your smile will be ready for whitening.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Pretty teeth

If you’d like to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home or on your own schedule, our team can provide you with a professional-grade take-home whitening kit. All you’ll need to do is apply the provided whitening gel to the included customized dental trays and wear them for at least an hour every day for two weeks. This gives many patients a flexible and comfortable teeth-whitening kit that is superior to store-bought varieties.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Dr. Ahn can perform an in-office teeth whitening procedure in about an hour. He’ll place a few barriers in your mouth to protect your soft oral tissues before treating your teeth with a few coats of whitening gel. This can produce stunning results in a single appointment, which is great if your teeth need to look their best as soon as possible.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
