Teeth Whitening – Parma, OH
Make Your Pearly Whites Live Up to Their Name
Did you recently look at your smile in the mirror and notice that it looks more yellow than white? Maybe you’ve been struggling with dental discoloration for several years now. In both cases, patients are often tempted to purchase over-the-counter whitening kits. However, the flimsy applicators and diluted brightening gels often lead to underwhelming results. That’s why we recommend a different solution: professional teeth whitening.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is quite versatile because it can lift stubborn stains from coffee, certain medications, and even the natural aging process. As a result, patients with healthy smiles are typically candidates! The best way to find out if that’s the case for you is by scheduling a consultation at our office. That way, one of our talented dentists can determine the source of the stains, assess the health of your smile, and, ultimately, determine if this is the ideal cosmetic dentistry treatment for you.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
The teeth whitening process always begins with a consultation. If we determine that you’re a good candidate, then we will help you decide whether an in-office or take-home treatment is ideal. You’ll find a brief overview of each option below!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
As we mentioned above, over-the-counter products usually underdeliver because they contain one-size-fits-all applicators and diluted whitening gels. Our take-home treatments, on the other hand, include custom trays and professional-grade bleaching gel. With consistent use, you’ll have a noticeably brighter smile in just two weeks!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you don’t have two weeks to wait because you have a graduation, a wedding, or another special event on the calendar, then consider an in-office treatment! With ZOOM!, we can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades in one visit. Plus, you won’t have to lift a finger; we’ll handle every step of the process for you.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
There are a few steps you can take to prolong the results of your teeth whitening treatment, starting with avoiding stain-causing habits, like smoking. You should also:
- Brush your teeth for two minutes each morning and evening
- Floss, rinse with mouthwash, and clean your tongue daily
- Use a straw when drinking coffee, tea, red wine, and soda
- Eat light-colored foods, like bananas and oatmeal
- Schedule a dental checkup and cleaning every six months
