Teeth can become stained or discolored for several reasons. Common causes include:
- Coffee, tea, and red wine
- Tobacco use
- Changes that happen with age
Is Whitening Right for You?
Professional teeth whitening works on natural teeth. It does not change the color of crowns, fillings, or veneers. If you have any of those restorations on your front teeth, whitening may not give you an even result.
Cavities and gum problems should be treated before whitening. Dr. del Rosario will check your teeth first and let you know whether whitening is a good option for you and what kind of result to expect.
Professional Whitening vs. Store-Bought Products
Over-the-counter whitening products are widely available, but they are not the same as professional whitening. With professional whitening, you get a dental exam first, a plan that fits your teeth, and guidance from your dentist.
Dr. del Rosario will review your teeth and talk with you about what to expect before treatment begins.
Sensitivity
Some people notice temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. If you already have sensitive teeth, let us know before you start. We will talk with you about it and make sure you know what to expect.
Keeping Your Results
Whitening results are not permanent. The same things that stained your teeth before can stain them again. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, and keeping up with your regular cleanings, can help your results last longer.
Whitening Before Veneers or Crowns
If you are planning to get veneers or crowns on your front teeth, it is a good idea to whiten first. Veneers and crowns are made to match your natural tooth color, so whitening before they are made means they can be matched to your new, brighter shade.
Ask Dr. del Rosario about the right sequence for your treatment.
Other Cosmetic Options
Whitening is one of several cosmetic options at Grand Central Smiles. If you are interested in straightening your teeth, we currently offer $500 off Invisalign treatment as a limited time offer. We also offer dental veneers and a full range of cosmetic dentistry services.
Cost & Financing
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment, so most dental insurance plans do not cover it. We will give you the cost before you start.
Financing is available through CareCredit and Sunbit.
