Teeth Whitening in Apex, NC

Professional dental whitening involves the use of specialized whitening agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to remove stains and discoloration. Unlike over-the-counter products, our treatments are customized to suit your unique needs, ensuring both safety and noticeable results. With professional supervision, you can enjoy a brighter smile with minimal risk of sensitivity or uneven whitening.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Our Opalescence™ Boost treatment is perfect for those seeking immediate results. This in-office procedure uses a powerful 40% hydrogen peroxide gel to brighten your teeth in just one session. The chemically activated gel doesn’t require a light, making the process quicker and more comfortable.

At-Home Teeth Whitening Options

• Opalescence™ Go: Prefilled disposable trays containing 10-15% hydrogen peroxide offer a convenient alternative to store-bought products like whitening strips.
• Custom Bleaching Trays with Opalescence™ PF: These tailor-made trays are paired with a professional-grade whitening gel in various concentrations (10% to 45% carbamide peroxide). Whether you prefer day or night use, these trays fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Many factors can lead to tooth discoloration, including:

• Diet: Dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries.
• Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can significantly stain your teeth.
• Aging: Over time, enamel wears away, exposing the yellowish dentin beneath.
• Medications: Certain prescriptions can cause intrinsic stains.

When you visit our Apex office for teeth whitening:

1. Preparation: We’ll assess your oral health to ensure whitening is appropriate for you.
2. Protection: Gums and soft tissues are shielded to prevent irritation.
3. Application: The whitening agent is applied in 20-minute intervals, typically 2-3 times.
4. Results: You’ll leave with a visibly brighter smile in about an hour.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe for Sensitive Teeth?

Yes, our teeth whitening treatments are designed with sensitivity in mind. We carefully select the right whitening agents and concentrations to minimize discomfort while delivering outstanding results.

Results from cosmetic teeth whitening can last several months to two years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Regular touch-ups with at-home products can help maintain your brilliant smile.

How Can I Maintain My Teeth Whitening Results?

• Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup.
• Dietary Choices: Limit staining foods and beverages.
• Avoid Tobacco: Refrain from smoking or chewing tobacco.
• Routine Dental Visits: Schedule regular cleanings at Tomasheski Family Dentistry.

The frequency of teeth whitening depends on your goals and the method used. In-office treatments are typically done once a year, while at-home touch-ups can be done more frequently to maintain your desired brightness.

The cost of teeth whitening varies based on the type of treatment you choose. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed estimate and help you decide which option best suits your needs and budget.
