Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure that lightens teeth by removing surface stains and internal discoloration. While it doesn’t make teeth unnaturally white, it can significantly improve brightness, enhancing your overall appearance and self-esteem.
Results vary by individual but can last several months to over a year with proper aftercare. Dental Arts of Florida offers in-office whitening and at-home options to fit your lifestyle and smile goals.
Not all tooth stains are the same, and understanding their origin helps us select the most effective treatment for you.
Intrinsic stains develop deep within the enamel and dentin layers of the teeth, making them more resistant to surface-level whitening methods. These stains are often the result of factors such as childhood antibiotic use (like tetracycline), excessive fluoride exposure, trauma to a tooth, natural enamel thinning due to aging, or inherited genetic conditions. Intrinsic stains may require more advanced treatment because they originate from within the tooth. Depending on severity, they often respond best to professional-grade whitening systems or cosmetic solutions such as porcelain veneers for adequate coverage and improvement.
Extrinsic stains form on the outer surface of the teeth and are commonly caused by lifestyle and dietary habits. Frequent consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, dark-colored foods or sauces, tobacco use, and poor oral hygiene are primary contributors to this type of discoloration. Fortunately, extrinsic stains are generally easier to treat than intrinsic ones. They typically respond well to over-the-counter whitening strips and gels and professional in-office whitening treatments, which offer more noticeable and longer-lasting results by effectively targeting and removing surface-level discoloration.
We understand that every patient has different needs. We offer multiple whitening options tailored to your goals, budget, and time constraints.
Our professional in-office whitening treatment at Dental Arts of Florida uses highly concentrated peroxide gels activated with advanced light or laser technology. This method is ideal for those seeking immediate, noticeable results. In just one 60–90 minute session, patients can achieve teeth up to eight shades brighter. Experienced dental professionals supervise the entire process to ensure safety and effectiveness. We also use desensitizing agents to minimize discomfort, making it a great option for those with sensitive teeth. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, job interview, or simply want to feel more confident quickly, this treatment delivers impressive results in a single visit.
If you prefer the flexibility of whitening your teeth at home, our dentist-prescribed take-home kits offer a convenient yet effective solution. These kits come with custom-fitted trays that ensure even gel distribution across all teeth, avoiding the uneven results often seen with store-bought kits. Each kit includes professional-strength whitening gel that is safe and specially formulated for sensitive teeth. With proper use, typically daily for 1 to 2 weeks, patients notice a significant improvement in brightness. Take-home kits are ideal for those who want gradual whitening on their schedule without compromising quality or safety.
For patients with minimal staining or those looking for a low-cost option, we also provide guidance on over-the-counter (OTC) whitening products. These include whitening toothpastes, strips, pens, chewing gums, and rinses, many readily available in pharmacies. While they can offer slight improvements, these products typically lighten teeth by one to two shades and require consistent use over time. Their lower concentration of whitening agents also means results can take longer to appear. We always recommend consulting with our dental team before using OTC products to ensure they are safe and suitable for your dental needs.
