Understanding Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a non-invasive dental procedure that lightens the color of your natural teeth without removing any tooth structure. Over time, teeth can become stained from food, drinks, smoking, and aging.

Professional teeth whitening uses specialized dental-grade peroxide gels to break down these stains and lighten the color of your enamel. This cosmetic treatment specifically targets discoloration, effectively removing both surface stains and deeper discoloration that has developed over the years.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Our Teeth Whitening Process

Pre-Treatment Assessment

We begin with a thorough examination of your teeth to determine your current shade and identify any dental issues that might affect your whitening results. Our dentists evaluate factors like enamel thickness, existing restorations, and sensitivity levels to customize your treatment. This careful assessment ensures you receive the most effective and comfortable whitening possible.

Custom Treatment Selection

Based on your dental condition and whitening goals, we recommend either in-office professional whitening or take-home custom trays. We consider your lifestyle, time constraints, and sensitivity concerns when selecting the ideal whitening method for your needs. Our dentists explain all available options, including expected results and maintenance requirements.

Professional Application

For in-office whitening, we protect your gums and soft tissues before applying professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. The specialized formula breaks down stubborn stains while preserving your natural enamel structure. Treatment takes approximately 60-90 minutes, and you’ll see immediate results before leaving the office.

Post-Treatment Care

You’ll receive specific instructions to maximize and extend your whitening results, including food and beverage recommendations for the first 48 hours. We provide sensitivity-reducing products if needed and suggest enamel-safe oral care products for ongoing maintenance. Following these guidelines helps ensure your bright smile lasts months longer.

Results Verification

We schedule a brief follow-up to check your satisfaction and answer any questions about maintaining your new smile. We take comparison photos to document your shade improvement and address any sensitivity issues that may have developed. This follow-up ensures you’re completely satisfied with your results and comfortable with your maintenance routine.

FAQs

How much does teeth whitening cost?

At Smile Haven, professional in-office teeth whitening costs $399, while our custom take-home kits start at $249. We offer seasonal promotions and flexible payment plans to make your smile affordable without compromising on quality.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Results typically last 1-2 years depending on your consumption of staining substances like coffee, red wine, and tobacco. Regular dental cleanings combined with occasional touch-up treatments will maintain your ideal whiteness level indefinitely.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, all whitening treatments at Smile Haven use FDA-approved formulations that protect enamel while effectively removing stains. Dr. Zavala and Dr. Duque carefully evaluate each patient’s oral health before treatment to ensure safety and minimize any temporary sensitivity.

Does teeth whitening work?

Absolutely—our professional treatments consistently achieve 3-8 shade improvements in a single session. Results are most dramatic on yellow-tinted teeth with extrinsic staining from foods, beverages, and tobacco, though we can improve most types of discoloration.

How long after teeth whitening can I eat normally?

We recommend avoiding highly pigmented foods and beverages for 48 hours post-treatment when your enamel is most susceptible to new staining. After this initial period, you can resume normal eating habits, though using straws for dark beverages will help maintain your results longer.
