We offer in-office and take-home professional whitening treatment at Prestipino Dental Group. To begin in-office whitening treatment, Dr. Prestipino ensures that the gums are protected with a barrier. Then, he will apply a bleaching gel to the teeth. This process is completed multiple times in just one office visit. If you would rather whiten your teeth at home, Dr. Prestipino can provide you with a kit that contains a custom-made mouthpiece and whitening gel.
If your tooth enamel is resistant to teeth whitening treatment, we may recommend porcelain veneers or dental crowns. Dental veneers that are made of porcelain ceramic are great for patients that have deep stains on several of their teeth and want a whiter smile. While dental veneers cover the front and sides of teeth, dental crowns cover teeth entirely. Dental crowns also have added durability if you have a weak tooth.

Although whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, and gels can be found in many stores, professional teeth whitening is the more effective choice. Dr. Prestipino only uses high-quality bleaching gel that is formulated with tooth sensitivity in mind. These gels have higher concentrations of active whitening ingredients for longer-lasting results.
One of the more common side effects of teeth whitening is tooth sensitivity. Dr. Prestipino always supervises teeth whitening treatments with care to ensure patient comfort. He also uses gum barriers to make sure that the whitening gel does not irritate the gums.
The results of teeth whitening will vary based on each individual. It doesn’t hurt to schedule touch-up treatments every four to six months. Visiting our dental office regularly for cleanings and avoiding smoking and staining beverages will also help to keep your teeth white and bright.
The cost of your whitening treatment will depend on which type of whitening treatment you choose. At-home whitening is often less expensive than in-office treatment. We will provide you with refills and specific instructions on how to retouch your smile at home.
