Teeth Whitening – Westport, CT

How Does In-Practice Teeth Whitening Work?

At The Dental Center of Westport, we offer our patients the opportunity to have a brighter smile in under about an hour. Our in-practice teeth whitening system uses high-grade bleaching products in combination with low-UV light to effectively break up surface stains and stubborn, deep-down discoloration.

After ensuring your lips and gums are protected, we will apply the bleaching gel to your teeth before using the UV light to remove the stains. Once the first application is complete, we will continue to reapply until the desired results are achieved.

With just a few applications, you will have a noticeably whiter smile when you leave our office. 

How Does At-Home Teeth Whitening Work?

For patients who would rather whiten their teeth at home, on their own schedule, we offer take-home teeth whitening kits. When visiting our office, one of our highly skilled dentists will take an impression of your mouth and send it off to the lab to have your custom whitening trays created. This will ensure your trays are made to perfectly fit your mouth.

Once they’re ready, you’ll retrieve your trays as well as the same high-grade whitening gel used during an in-practice teeth whitening session. Our dentists will provide detailed instructions regarding how long you’ll need to wear your trays each day in order to achieve desired results.

In two weeks, you will begin to see a beautifully whiter smile.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening Over Store Bought Products?

With so many companies vying for your money, there are an endless number of products on shelves at your local drug store that promise whiter teeth in minutes! Unfortunately, these solutions will leave you unhappy, unsatisfied, and with less money in your pocket.

By choosing professional teeth whitening from The Dental Center in Westport, you are making an investment in your smile that will produce high-quality results that last. Here are some other reasons to choose professional teeth whitening:

• Customization: Unlike the one-size-fits-all store-bought trays or strips, whether you opt for in-practice or at-home whitening, our team of professionals will customize your treatment based on your individual needs.
• Less mess: Many of the products found in stores have gels that are messy and can irritate your gums and soft tissues. The mess involved with in-practice whitening is minimal and taken care of by our dentists, and at-home whitening includes instructions offered by our professionals with custom trays to prevent leaks or spillage.
• Even whitening: The trays and strips found in over-the-counter products often do not reach all your teeth, causing an uneven result. In-practice and at-home whitening make sure to whiten all your teeth.
• Stronger materials: The products sold in stores use a lower concentrated whitening gel, whereas professional teeth whitening uses a high-grade bleaching gel that blasts away stains and creates the beautiful smile you want.
