Teeth Whitening in Mooresville & Troutman, NC

When teeth become dull or stained, they no longer look youthful or attractive. Even with good oral hygiene, the foods and beverages you consume can stain your teeth. Professional teeth whitening from Curtis Family Dentistry can give you back a glowing, white smile that people will notice and remember. We offer fast cosmetic dentistry options to remove stains and bring back your dazzling smile. Red wine, tobacco, coffee, tea and even dark berries can leave their mark on your enamel. Using whitening toothpaste after every meal can help minimize stains, but it is normal for teeth to dull and become darker as you get older. To conquer tooth stains and dulling, specialized bleaching can be used to bring back the natural whiteness to your smile. Bleaching your teeth a few shades lighter can make your smile look healthier and more youthful, which most people prefer.

Professional Bleaching vs Home Whitening Products

You may wonder if it would be just as easy to whiten your teeth with many of the over-the-counter home products available. While some can do a decent job whitening your teeth, not all are effective or safe. Plus, each person is different and may have different needs for brightening their smile safely. Our professional-grade whitening products at Curtis Family Dentistry are dentist-approved. Your bleaching will be supervised by dental professionals for safety. We want to ensure you are getting the bright smile you want, quickly, while still protecting the health of your teeth.

How long does teeth whitening last?

There are a few different factors that go into determining how long the effects of teeth whitening will last for a patient. If you smoke regularly or drink a lot of dark-colored drinks, you may notice that your results are not as long-lasting as you may have hoped. Generally speaking, professional teeth whitening results often last between six months and two years, and we can help you determine how often you will need touch-ups to maintain a bright, beautiful smile.

Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening?

Most patients who are interested in having their teeth whitened are excellent candidates. If your teeth are extremely sensitive, you may find that teeth whitening treatments are too uncomfortable or that you can’t whiten your teeth as often as you’d like. Patients who need a lot of restorative dental work done can receive teeth whitening treatments, but we often advise them to wait until their more time-sensitive restorative care is complete.

How can I maintain whiter teeth?

Using a straw when you drink dark-colored beverages, quitting or reducing tobacco consumption, and using a whitening toothpaste are all great ways to keep your smile bright and white. Establishing a thorough at-home oral care routine is also essential for maintaining teeth that are both beautiful and healthy. It’s important to remember that no matter what you do to keep your teeth looking bright, occasional touch-ups are also necessary to keep your teeth looking consistently white.
