Professional teeth whitening with your Bedford dentist makes it easy and safe to brighten your smile.

Teeth Whitening

Are you unhappy with tooth staining or discoloration that detracts from your beautiful smile?

Staining can occur for many reasons, including smoking or tobacco use. Your teeth can also become stained by certain foods and beverages, including red wine, coffee, and tomato sauce. The aging process is another factor that causes our teeth to take on a dull or yellowish appearance.

Fortunately, professional teeth whitening treatment at our dental office can eliminate tooth stains and provide brilliant results that give you a brighter, more youthful-looking facial appearance.

Many over-the-counter whitening treatments are available today; however, professional whitening is generally considered safer and more effective. Whitening trays in over-the-counter kits are “one size fits all,” which often results in an improper fit and less consistent results. Also, store-bought whitening gels can be too abrasive or leak because of ill-fitting trays, which leads to gum and soft tissue irritation.

For these reasons, we recommend that you consider professional teeth whitening treatment instead. Our office provides customized trays and whitening gel for at-home use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How effective are over-the-counter teeth whitening kits?

While the whitening kits you can find at your local drugstore cost less than professional kits, the truth is that this is a case where you get what you pay for. Drugstore whitening kits are designed to be "one size fits all," which often translates to "one size fits none." The strengths are much lower than what you can get in a professional kit, meaning that you must use the product for a longer period of time and are still unlikely to get the results you can find in a professional product. Additionally, your results are not being monitored by the dentist you know and trust.

Professional Whitening

Dr. Jeffers will choose whitening gel in the appropriate strength for your case while accounting for your level of sensitivity and your whitening goals. Next, we take impressions of your teeth to create custom whitening trays. Before you leave our dental office with your custom take-home whitening kit, we will give you instructions for using it safely.

After whitening for about two weeks at home, we recommend that you schedule a follow-up visit with our office to check on your progress.
