Get rid of stains with professional teeth whitening services
Teeth whitening or bleaching is a popular cosmetic treatment that can enhance the appearance of your smile. There are various options available, such as over-the-counter toothpastes, gels, strips, rinses, as well as professional treatments and take-home kits. However, the most effective and safe whitening options are those provided by dental professionals. These professional-grade treatments use stronger whitening agents and are administered under expert supervision. While over-the-counter products can be effective for healthy teeth, they may cause damage if there are underlying dental issues. At Smiland Dental, we ensure a safe and personalized whitening experience for you.
Teeth Whitening Procedure: How Does It Work?
Discover the two main types of whitening products: peroxide-based bleaching agents and whitening toothpastes. Common active ingredients in peroxide-based products include carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. The concentration of these ingredients determines the strength, effectiveness, and safety of the whitening treatment. Whitening systems work by initiating a chemical reaction between the bleaching agent and stain molecules, breaking them down to remove discoloration.

Care Considerations
We at Smiland Dental specialize in combining the art and science of dentistry to create healthy, beautiful smiles. We understand the importance of investing in your smile and are dedicated to providing treatments that improve your oral health while meeting your expectations. Our office offers a range of advanced cosmetic dental services, and our team will assist you in selecting the best option for your individual smile.
Although teeth whitening procedures can yield great results, not all stains or discoloration respond equally to this treatment. Teeth whitening is specifically designed for natural teeth and does not impact the color of dental fillings, crowns, or bridges. Individuals with yellow-toned teeth typically experience the most noticeable improvements, while those with brown or grayish discoloration may require more intensive whitening treatments or alternative cosmetic solutions. It's important to consider that teeth whitening may not be suitable for those with sensitive teeth, worn enamel, or advanced gum disease.
At Smiland Dental, we will carefully evaluate your smile to determine if teeth whitening is the appropriate treatment for you. If not, we will recommend alternative cosmetic options that are both healthier and more effective.
After a Teeth Whitening Procedure: What to Do and What to Expect
Maximize the benefits of a teeth whitening procedure with these helpful tips:
- Following your in-office whitening treatment at Smiland Dental, it is important to be cautious about your diet and beverages, especially in the first 48 hours. During this time, your teeth's protective layer is still rebuilding, so it is best to avoid foods and drinks that may stain your teeth, such as coffee, red wine, dark sodas, teas, berries, chocolate, and other dark-colored foods.
- We also suggest refraining from smoking for at least a few days after the treatment, as it can cause staining on your teeth. Decreasing smoking not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also benefits your oral health and overall well-being.
- It is common to experience sensitivity to hot and cold for a few days following the treatment. This sensitivity usually diminishes, but you can use over-the-counter pain medication or toothpaste for sensitive teeth to alleviate any discomfort.
- The results of teeth whitening can vary based on factors like the original shade of your teeth, your diet, and your oral care routine. Please note that teeth whitening does not change the color of existing fillings, crowns, bridges, or dental bonding. If necessary, we can discuss options for replacing restorations.
- To preserve your results, it is essential to maintain proper oral hygiene practices and schedule regular dental check-ups. If you desire touch-ups periodically, we can provide a take-home whitening system for your convenience.
