Teeth Whitening

At Arthur Greyf DDS, FICOI, we take pride in offering a wide range of dental care services to cater to the diverse needs of our patients. As part of our comprehensive dental services, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, and one of our most sought-after treatments is teeth whitening.

A radiant and confident smile can make a significant difference in one's appearance and self-esteem. We understand that over time, teeth can become discolored due to various factors such as age, lifestyle choices, and certain foods or beverages. Therefore, we are dedicated to providing effective and safe teeth whitening solutions to restore the brightness of your smile.

Our experienced team of dentists is well-versed in the latest teeth whitening techniques and uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal results. We offer both in-office teeth whitening treatments and take-home whitening kits, giving you the flexibility to choose the option that best suits your schedule and preferences.

There are many products and techniques available for patients who want to achieve a brighter smile, and with so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the method that is right for you. The best way to begin any teeth-whitening regimen is to schedule an appointment and talk to your doctor about the differences between in-office professional whitening and at-home whitening.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

The first professional option is commonly referred to as in-office whitening. During an appointment, our hygienist will apply a whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The entire office visit generally takes about 90 minutes and you will be able to see results immediately.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

• Teeth-Whitening Strips

Teeth-whitening strips are thin, flexible plastic (polyethylene) strips with a thin film of hydrogen peroxide on one side. Whitening strip kits come with two types of strips: strips for the upper teeth and strips for the lower teeth. The whitening agent is applied by placing the strips across your teeth and gently pressing the strips to ensure contact with all your teeth. Teeth-whitening strips are typically worn for 30 minutes a day, twice a day. The duration of treatment will vary.

• Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash

The least expensive options are whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes. Designed to have “whitening” capabilities, toothpastes and mouthwashes work to remove surface stains using mild abrasives. However, unlike the materials used in professional whitening procedures, these products do not lighten the actual color shade of the tooth. Whitening toothpastes affect surface stains and will mildly lighten your teeth.
