How long does teeth whitening last?
The lifespan of your newly brightened teeth will vary by which teeth whitening service you select. At Dental Solutions of Central Park, we use highly-concentrated whitening gels that aren’t available over the counter, which can allow results to last up to six months or longer. If you’re concerned about how long your teeth whitening results will last, when you come in for your consultation, Dr. Weber and our team will examine your teeth and recommend the best teeth whitening solution for you.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
Professional teeth whitening is more expensive than store-bought whitening kits. This is due to the high concentration of the whitening gel and personalization of whether you select in-office whitening treatment or at-home whitening with custom trays. Our office is in-network with many insurance providers and accepts other
financing options. Contact our office to learn more about teeth whitening costs, one of our friendly team members will happily assist you.
Whitening Options Offered
Dental Solutions of Central Park offers professional-grade whitening options that deliver more consistent and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products. Custom take-home whitening trays are fabricated from impressions of the patient’s teeth to ensure an even, precise fit. The trays are used with a professional-strength whitening gel that can be adjusted based on the patient’s sensitivity level and whitening goals.
Professional Whitening vs Retail Products
The primary difference between professional whitening and retail products is the concentration of the active whitening agent and the precision of application. Professional treatments use higher-concentration gels that produce more noticeable results in a shorter period of time. Custom trays ensure full and even contact with every tooth surface, while one-size-fits-all strips may miss areas or provide inconsistent coverage. Professional whitening is also supervised by a dentist, which means sensitivity and other side effects can be managed proactively.
Who May Not Be a Suitable Candidate
Whitening treatments are most effective on natural tooth enamel and may not change the color of dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or bonding. Patients with untreated cavities, active gum disease, or significant enamel erosion should address those conditions before pursuing whitening. A consultation with the dentist helps determine whether whitening is appropriate and which method will produce the best results for the individual patient.
Maintaining Whitening Results
The longevity of whitening results depends largely on dietary and lifestyle habits. Limiting consumption of staining foods and beverages — such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries — helps preserve results. Using a straw for staining beverages, brushing after meals, and periodic touch-up treatments with custom trays can extend the brightness achieved through professional whitening.
