Even if you have always been proactive with oral health will find their teeth becoming dull and discolored as time passes. This is partly due to genetics and aging and helped by lifestyle choices like smoking and the foods and drinks we consume.

It’s an unfortunate fact of life that your teeth will lose their youthful brightness over the years.

However, professional teeth whitening treatments can turn back the clock and restore your bright, beautiful smile.

Dental tools used for professional teeth whitening in Winston-Salem NCTeeth Whitening Treatments

As you age, microscopic holes open up in your dental enamel and attract food particles that dull your smile. At the same time, the enamel thins, making the yellowish layer of dentin beneath more noticeable. Another factor that can contribute to a dull smile is consuming foods and drinks like coffee, dark tea, red wine, dark berries, and tomato sauce that deposit stains on your teeth.

Professional teeth whitening can remove stains and brighten your smile by six to eight shades. An in-office treatment gets the job done fast, usually in an hour or less.

Many of our patients prefer whitening at home at their convenience with custom take-home kits. The kit consists of prescription-strength whitening gel and trays that are customized for you using impressions of your teeth. You will be instructed to wear the trays daily for about two weeks, and you should see results that are about six to eight shades brighter.

Dental Cleanings and Teeth Whitening in Winston-Salem

Every teeth whitening treatment should start with a professional cleaning to ensure that your teeth are as clean as they can be. This results in the most noticeable, consistent results.

If you would like to learn more about professional whitening treatments offered at our practice, please give us a call to arrange an appointment.

Many people want whiter teeth and a more radiant smile. And one study confirms what we already knew: having a white smile makes you look healthier and more attractive.

The whitening products we offer to our Winston-Salem patients are proven to produce faster, more consistent results, whether in our dental office or at your home.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Do you want whiter teeth but don't have the time to do it at home? You can enjoy dramatic results in just one appointment with in-office teeth whitening. This whitening treatment is perfect for people who are short on time or want to look their best for a special occasion. The process takes just over an hour to complete and can transform your smile from dull to radiant while easily fitting into your busy schedule.

Professional Take-Home Whitening Kits

It's now easier and more convenient than ever to achieve your desired results with professional take-home teeth whitening. We start by creating custom trays using impressions of your teeth. The trays are custom-made for you, so you know they will fit perfectly and cover your teeth evenly.

A prescription-strength whitening gel is available at our Winston-Salem dental office, containing a higher concentration of peroxide that eliminates stubborn tooth stains and discoloration. To reveal your bright smile, we will explain everything to you, including how to put the whitening gel in your trays and how long you should wear them.

4 Ways to Maintain Your Pearly Whites

  1. Practice excellent oral hygiene to help maintain beautiful results 
  2. Be mindful of food and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as red wine and coffee
  3. Remember to stay current with professional teeth cleanings
  4. Use your custom trays and whitening gel when you need a touch-up

If you're ready to take your smile to the next level, schedule a consultation with our dental office today. We'll be happy to answer any of your questions and help you decide if in-office or at-home teeth whitening is right for you.

It’s very important to remember that using teeth whitening to supercharge your smile is not a one-time thing. There are a few things that you should be doing to maintain those results.

First, it’s vital that you floss daily (ideally after every meal) and brush your teeth twice daily, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Second, to clean out all the nooks and crannies that brushing and flossing miss, make sure to rinse regularly using mouthwash.

You will also want to avoid using tobacco products and adjust your diet to avoid foods (berries and tomato products) and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine) that could stain your teeth.

Finally, ensure you visit your dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning to avoid plaque buildup on your teeth. This, of course, will not only help maintain the results of your teeth whitening but will also reduce your risk of dental issues like cavities or gum disease.

Nothing makes a great first impression – one that projects warmth, approachability, and confidence – like a beautiful smile. For those of us who aren’t naturally blessed with gleaming pearly whites, teeth whitening offers the best and surest path to a million-dollar smile – thankfully, with a much smaller price tag!

Our Teeth Whitening Options in Winston-Salem

We are pleased to offer teeth whitening options so you can choose the one that best fits your busy schedule.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth whitening is a process that takes a little over an hour to complete. This treatment is a perfect option if you have a tight timeline for an event like a wedding, reunion, business presentation, or job interview. However, choosing professional teeth at our Winston-Salem dental office can transform your smile from drab to dazzling in just one appointment.

Professional Take-Home Whitening Kits

Many patients prefer our professional take-home teeth whitening kits because they can whiten when it's convenient. If you have tried over-the-counter whitening kits, you may have already discovered that they're not particularly effective.

A professional teeth whitening kit will always produce superior results for several reasons:

  • Prescription-strength whitening gel: The whitening gel available at our Winston-Salem dental office contains a higher concentration of peroxide that works to eliminate stubborn tooth stains and discoloration.
  • Custom whitening trays: With the generic whitening tray included in a store-bought kit, you have no assurance that it will fit properly. Since we create custom trays using impressions of your teeth, you know that yours will fit perfectly and cover tooth surfaces evenly.
  • Professional support: Our dental team will be happy to assist you if you experience sensitivity or don't see the desired results. With store-bought kits, you get an 800 number to call and speak to someone who has no idea what your dental history is.

We'll show you how to place the whitening gel in your trays, and you should wear them for 15 to 90 minutes every day for about two weeks to see a stunning smile.

How to Keep Your Smile Bright after Whitening

teeth whitening kitGetting your smile as bright as you want it to be is easy, but maintaining those results can be challenging. Here are a few tips to help you enjoy your brightest smile longer:

  1. Brush at least twice a day—after meals is ideal—and floss once. Brushing and flossing removes food particles and plaque buildup that can dull your smile.
  2. Remember that coffee, red wine, dark berries, beets, tomato sauce, and other darkly-colored foods can deposit stains on your teeth. Smoking is the worst because it leaves ugly brown stains on your teeth that can be challenging to remove, even with professional whitening.
  3. Stay current with professional teeth cleanings to keep your smile looking bright. Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar, then polishes your teeth to remove surface stains and leave you with a fresh, clean smile.
  4. Use your custom trays and leftover whitening gel to perform monthly at-home touchups.
