Professional Teeth Whitening In Port Washington
If you’re confident, you smile more. If you smile more, you feel more confident. But what if you don’t want to flash your smile because you’re embarrassed by yellow teeth?
Sometimes, a new smile emerges from the simplest steps. Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth: coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate dull white enamel surfaces. Simple and safe, most patients don’t realize how much discoloration embeds into their teeth until they see a new shine emerge.
Numerous whitening products crowd supermarket shelves. While we don’t discourage these methods, you may want to consider the advantages of professional whitening:
-
Customized system: We make trays that fit your teeth like a comfortable glove. Flexible, thin plastic follows the alignment of your teeth, allowing the whitening gel to contact all tooth surfaces evenly. This means consistent whitening with less gel overflow onto your gums.
-
Controlled gel formulas: We use the highest-quality whitening formulas available for safety and consistency. These formulas are professional strength with careful quality control from known sources. Beware of temperature-sensitive gels stored in uncontrolled environments or made in an unknown setting.
-
Sensitivity management: You may experience temporary sensitivity in your teeth while whitening. We have specific strategies for you and will customize the product and method to help you have a comfortable and safe whitening experience.
-
Long-term results: Buying a box of whitening strips every few months adds up. With one set of custom trays, you’ll have a system that should fit for years. A simple refill syringe of gel picked up occasionally from our office allows you to keep your smile fresh for years.

How is professional teeth whitening performed?
Professional teeth whitening at Port Washington Family Dentistry is performed using advanced techniques to ensure optimal results. The process begins with a thorough cleaning of your teeth to remove any surface debris. Next, a protective barrier is applied to your gums to shield them from the whitening agent. A high-concentration bleaching gel is then applied to your teeth, which is activated by a special light or laser to enhance the whitening effect. The treatment usually takes about an hour, during which the gel may be reapplied several times to achieve the desired level of whiteness. After the procedure, you’ll see immediate improvements, with your teeth appearing several shades whiter.
