Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Most patients with healthy teeth and gums make excellent candidates for professional teeth whitening. If you're bothered by yellowing or surface stains from food, drinks, or tobacco, whitening can make a dramatic difference.

That said, whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. So, if you have older crowns, veneers, or bonding, we may need to replace your restorations to match your new shade. Whatever you decide, the best way forward is to schedule a consultation with Dr. David.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to break down the dark pigments that cause staining deep within tooth enamel. Unlike store-bought strips or rinses, professional-grade formulas are stronger and more precisely applied, reaching stains that over-the-counter products can't.

At Blue Wave Dental, our Opalescence whitening products include built-in desensitizers to minimize discomfort. So, even if you have sensitive teeth, you can enjoy a brighter, more confident smile.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Our Opalescence Go Trays are a convenient take-home whitening option that fits right into your daily routine. These pre-filled disposable trays are ready to use right out of the box— no impressions needed. Of course, if you prefer a more customized fit, we can also create custom whitening trays just for your smile. After just two weeks, you’ll enjoy brilliant, long-lasting results.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

For patients who want dramatic results right away, in-office whitening with Opalescence Boost is the way to go. This is applied directly by Dr. David in a single appointment and can brighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour. It's a great choice if you’re only a few days away from a big event or want to remove stubborn stains and enjoy your results fast.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

Once your teeth are brighter, keeping them that way is all about consistency. Here are some simple tips to keep your teeth sparkling longer.

  • Rinse with water after drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, and brush twice a day to prevent surface buildup.
  • Avoid tobacco products and vaping, which can quickly reverse your results.
  • Use an ADA-approved whitening toothpaste a few times a week and keep up with your regular dental cleanings.
  • When results start to fade, let us know. A quick touch-up with some take-home trays will bring your smile right back.
