Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening Services and Take Home Kits
We understand that there’s nothing more devastating to your confidence than discolored teeth. That’s why we offer teeth whitening consultations and in-home teeth bleaching kits to help you win back your trust without damaging your teeth.
There are many teeth whitening products and services out there, ranging from over-the-counter and prescription to professionally administered services. But, they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution and don’t work for everyone, or they’re just clumsy.
Custom Teeth Whitening Kits
At Suburban Essex Dental, in West Orange, New Jersey, we offer an in-home teeth whitening kit that is a combination of many of the top bleaching options out there today.
Each kit includes custom-made, clear flexible bleaching trays that are created based on a mold of YOUR teeth and are designed to fit your teeth perfectly. This helps increase comfort and ease of use across the board.
Plus, the kits include an array of teeth whitening agents that vary in strength to help minimize sensitivity and maximize comfortability.
When you purchase a teeth bleaching kit, we also offer professional supervision and checkups to ensure that you receive the greatest level of whitening while maintaining the integrity of your teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How white can my teeth get?
Most patients see their teeth get several shades lighter. Results depend on the type of staining; food, coffee and wine stains respond best.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional whitening supervised by a dentist is safe for enamel. Some temporary sensitivity is common and goes away within a few days.
How long do whitening results last?
With good care, results typically last one to three years. Occasional touch-ups and limiting coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco keep your smile brighter longer.
Will whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?
No. Whitening only lightens natural teeth. If you have visible restorations, we can plan whitening first and then match any new crowns or veneers to your brighter shade.
Is professional whitening better than store-bought?
Professional whitening works faster, gives more even results, and is customized to your teeth and sensitivity level, and we check that your teeth are healthy before you start.
