Teeth Whitening

As you age, your teeth are exposed to foods and drinks that stain them. Though your teeth may be perfectly healthy, they can appear damaged and make you look older. Fortunately, if you have deep stains or want to achieve a brighter smile quickly, Centerville Family Dental in Centerville, MA has teeth-whitening options that can help you acquire a beautiful, youthful-looking, bright smile.

Types of Tooth Stains


Professional Teeth-Whitening Options

There are several approaches to teeth bleaching that your Centerville dentist can use to help you whiten your smile by eight to 14 shades in a short amount of time.

    • In-office teeth bleaching: During your office visit, your dental care professional will apply to your teeth the teeth-bleaching agent, typically in the form of a gel, then will use a whitening lamp to accelerate the bleaching process. Standard visits last 90 minutes.
  • At-home teeth bleaching: Your dentist will provide you with a teeth-bleaching gel and a mouthguard to put it in that has been customized to your bite. they will then assign a teeth-bleaching regimen for you to follow. Results typically take a little longer than the in-office option; however, the process takes place within the comfort and convenience of your own home. It typically takes 10 to 14 days to achieve the desired results with this method.
