What Results Can You Expect?

Most patients see up to 5 shades of improvement with professional teeth whitening. You may notice your teeth looking brighter within the first few days, with optimal results after about two weeks of consistent use.

Your results depend on your starting shade and the type of staining you have. Some stains respond better to whitening than others. During your consultation, Dr. Hoffman will evaluate your teeth and give you a realistic preview of what whitening can achieve for you.

With proper care, your results can last a year or more. Limiting coffee, tea, and red wine will help you stay brighter longer. And because your custom trays last for years, touch-ups are easy whenever you need them.

How Whitening Works Here

Step 1: Consultation

Dr. Hoffman examines your teeth, identifies what’s causing discoloration, and discusses whether whitening is right for your situation.

Step 2: Custom Impressions

We take impressions of your teeth and create trays that fit precisely. No gaps, no missed spots.

Step 3: Take Home and Whiten

Use your professional-strength whitening kit at home on your schedule. Most patients wear their trays 30 minutes to a few hours daily, depending on the gel strength.

Step 4: Smile Brighter

See visible improvement within the first few days, with optimal results in about two weeks.

What You Need to Know About Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening has become more and more common, thanks in part to over-the-counter products that promise consumers a whiter smile in no time. While it’s true that these OTC products can help to whiten your teeth to a certain degree, none of them compare to professional whitening products offered by dentists.

Dr. Hoffman and his staff offer a convenient at-home kit that allows you to whiten your teeth anytime you’d like in the privacy of your own home. These professional whitening methods are far superior to over-the-counter products for two reasons: the strength of the whitening formulas involved and the custom-made trays that we create especially for each patient.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

While there’s no doubt that professional teeth whitening can make a world of difference in the appearance of your smile, it’s important to remember that it’s not for everyone. Whitening doesn’t last forever. You’ll have to repeat the process periodically to achieve optimum results. And people with sensitive teeth may experience even more sensitivity during and after teeth whitening. Although this increased sensitivity usually goes away within a day or two after whitening, it’s a side effect of the process that may be negative for some people.

It’s also important to remember that whitening will only work on your natural teeth. If you have crowns, bridges, or tooth-colored fillings, whitening your teeth won’t change their shade. Keep in mind that your personal habits impact how stained your teeth are as well. Smoking or drinking too much coffee or red wine, for example, can further stain your teeth.

Great Candidates for Whitening

Yellow or brown staining from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or natural aging
Healthy teeth and gums with no untreated decay
Looking for a noticeable but natural-looking improvement

May Need a Different Approach

Gray discoloration, which is often internal and may not respond to whitening
Staining from certain medications like tetracycline
Crowns, veneers, or visible fillings on front teeth, as these won’t change color with whitening
Active cavities or gum disease, which should be treated first

Not sure which category you’re in? That’s exactly what the consultation is for. Dr. Hoffman will evaluate your teeth and tell you honestly whether whitening will work for your situation.
