Teeth Whitening in Northborough, MA

Smile before and after teeth whitening in Northborough, MA Has your bright, beautiful smile become dull and discolored? At Children’s Dentistry of Northborough, we focus on protecting your oral health, but we also know it’s important that you look your best.

A sparkling white smile boosts your confidence and allows you to interact comfortably with others. For your convenience, we offer professional in-office whitening and take-home kits that quickly renew a stained, discolored smile, giving you a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Reasons Why Teeth Stain

Do you wonder what happened to that fresh, bright smile you had when you were little? When you were a child, your teeth were bright white because the surface of your young tooth enamel was hard and intact.

As you age, your teeth become porous as they develop tiny micro cracks that attract stains and food debris. Stains and discoloration can also be the result of inadequate oral hygiene, smoking, and certain medications like tetracycline.

Basics of Professional Whitening Treatment

You may have tried whitening products purchased at your drug store and been disappointed by the results. This is not really surprising when you consider that these generic kits are not customized for your needs.

Unlike generic treatments, professional teeth whitening offered at Children’s Dentistry of Northborough can be personalized to fit your needs. As experienced professionals, we can easily adjust the concentration of whitening gel to suit your needs. We will determine what’s appropriate for you based on your sensitivity level, degree of staining, and desired results.

In-Office Teeth Whitening: Based on the degree and type of staining, we can tailor your treatment specifically for you. One of the advantages of in-office teeth whitening is that we can achieve remarkable results in one appointment

We start with a thorough dental cleaning to make sure your teeth are free of plaque that can inhibit whitening. Next, we protect your gums and lips so they don’t come into contact with the whitening gel.

The gel is carefully applied to your teeth to cover all surfaces evenly, then set with a special curing light. It may take a day or two to see the full results, but you can expect to see whitening of up to eight shades.

Professional Take-Home Whitening: Take-home whitening kits available at our dental office give you the freedom to control the pace of whitening in the privacy of your home.

Using accurate dental impressions, we create your whitening trays to fit perfectly over your teeth. This allows for even coverage of all surfaces of your teeth, resulting in a consistently beautiful smile.

We will send you home with your personalized tray, whitening gel, and instructions for use. Simply wear the trays every day until you achieve the desired results, usually about two weeks. You can maintain your beautiful new smile by repeating treatment every six months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening results can last anywhere between six months to three years. However, longevity often depends on sensible habits following your professional teeth whitening treatment.

Teeth whitening in Northborough, MA, means in-office whitening or a custom take-home kit. When you’ve decided which option to use, a team member can provide specific tips to keep your teeth whiter for longer.

Maintaining Your New White Smile

Teeth may darken or stain due to certain medications or as a natural part of aging.

However, keeping your teeth white after treatment may come down to good habits. For example, you should never skip brushing and flossing sessions and visit your dentist twice yearly for professional teeth cleanings.

It’s also a good idea to eliminate or reduce tooth-staining foods and drinks, including:

Coffee and tea
Bright or reddish sauces
Dark or red wines

If you do indulge, be sure to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth afterward.

Your Northborough dentist also recommends quitting smoking—tobacco stains your teeth, but it is also bad for your oral and physical health.

Does teeth whitening at my dentist get better results?

Teeth whitening in Northborough, MA, is among the best places to start when looking to improve your smile. The process is straightforward, non-invasive, and cost-effective compared to other cosmetic dental treatments. However, if you’ve tried an over-the-counter teeth whitening treatment you bought at the local grocery store, you’re likely not as impressed with the results as you’d hoped.

This disappointment is because all of these systems are generic in how they fit. This makes their already weak whitening gels even less effective. Professional teeth whitening performed by your Northborough dental team has numerous advantages over the alternatives.

Professional Teeth Whitening Is Convenient and Strong

When you have us whiten your teeth, we begin with a thorough dental cleaning so that your teeth start as clean as possible. Then, we use professional-strength whitening formulas that are more effective than what you buy at the store. Finally, we offer two options for your convenience:

Professional Take-Home Whitening – For patients who want to whiten on their schedule and watch the results more over time, we provide take-home whitening kits. We start with impressions of your mouth so that your whitening tray will fit snugly, keeping more of our whitening formula evenly against your teeth.
In-Office Teeth Whitening – If you’d like to see immediate results in one treatment, we can tailor your teeth whitening specifically for you. We start by protecting your gums and lips and then carefully apply our in-office gel to cover your teeth evenly. We then set a special curing light in your mouth, activating the whitening agents. Many patients experience whitening results up to eight shades brighter.
