Professional Teeth Whitening in Hillsborough, NJ
Professional teeth whitening safely lightens the color of your teeth. This process only takes a single visit, but it can whiten your teeth up to 8 shades, leading to a revolutionary change in your appearance.
Tooth whitening can help you appear youthful and put together by removing topical stains caused by food and drinks. Whitening results will last depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits, but most often, results last up to 6 months.
The Benefits of Whiter Teeth
Professional teeth whitening is a simple cosmetic treatment, but the difference it makes can transform the appearance of your entire appearance. By lifting stains and discoloration, whitening can help your teeth look brighter, cleaner, and more polished. Benefits include:
We offer both Zoom in-office whitening and KöR take-home whitening in our Hillsborough practice, giving you options for achieving a brighter smile according to your schedule and preferences.
Choosing Between Take-Home and In-Office
In-Office Zoom Whitening
Zoom is completed in-office during a single appointment, which typically lasts an hour. It offers more dramatic results than take-home kits can, and is also the preferred choice if you struggle with tooth sensitivity.
After protecting the gums, whitening gel is applied to your teeth for several sessions throughout the hour, then activated with Zoom blue light. You can expect to see results on the same day.
KöR Take-Home Kits
If you are looking for a convenient or more cost-effective option, you can receive take-home kits from our office. You will get a custom tray with whitening gel that you wear every night or morning for around two weeks. Our team will give you instructions on how to use it, and we will be here for you if you have any questions.
A Personal Consultation at Precision Dental Group
Choosing between take-home and in-office tooth whitening, and even choosing to have your teeth whitened at all, isn’t a decision you have to make alone. We offer cosmetic dentistry consultations, where we help you imagine your improved smile and discuss the steps to achieve it. If you are interested in a single whitening treatment or a more comprehensive look, Dr. Chu and Dr. Wong can talk you through the next steps and offer personalized dental advice.
We offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments at our clinic, so everyone has what they need to improve their smile.
Enjoy the Safety of Professional Whitening
Customize Your Shade
Whitening should enhance your natural smile, not leave your teeth looking unnaturally bright. With professional whitening, we can help you choose a shade that complements your appearance and meets your cosmetic goals.
Whether you want a subtle refresh or a more noticeable transformation, your whitening treatment can be adjusted with your ideal results in mind.
Have Professionals on Your Side
Professional supervision helps make whitening both effective and comfortable. Before treatment, our team can evaluate your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is appropriate for your oral health.
We can also guide you through treatment, protect your gums during in-office whitening, and adjust your approach when necessary. With KöR take-home whitening, you will receive custom trays and clear instructions from our team rather than having to navigate the process alone.
Avoid Sensitivity
Our professional teeth whitening systems in Hillsborough, NJ, are specially designed to minimize sensitivity. We can customize the concentration of the whitening gel you use, and if you are in-office for your whitening, we can space out the whitening sessions or keep them shorter each visit.
Over-the-counter products are not customized and can lead to sensitivity, even if used correctly. The supervision of a trained professional is essential not only for good results, but for your comfort.
Explaining How Whitening Works in Hillsborough
Professional teeth whitening does more than clean the surface of your teeth. Whitening gels penetrate the enamel and reach discoloration within the tooth. The molecules from the whitening treatment react with the compounds responsible for staining, breaking them down and making them less visible. The result is a lighter, brighter tooth color without changing the natural structure of your teeth.
This process can address discoloration caused by common foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sauces. With professional whitening, the strength and application of the whitening agent can also be controlled to help you reach your desired shade safely and comfortably.
Over-the-counter options work somewhat differently depending on the product. Whitening toothpastes primarily help remove surface stains through polishing ingredients, rather than changing the underlying color of your teeth. Whitening strips generally contain peroxide and can lighten teeth, but they use a one-size-fits-all application and typically lower concentrations than professional systems.
The Perfect Time to Whiten Your Teeth
For best results, a regular dental cleaning is recommended before teeth whitening. If you are interested in having your teeth whitened, you can schedule an exam and cleaning with us and then a whitening session. If you receive a take-home kit from us, you can leave our office after a cleaning with your kit and instructions.
This timing will lead to enhanced results for our patients, which is something we love to see.
Pairing Tooth Whitening with Other Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
A comprehensive improvement to your smile might mean addressing the color of your teeth along with the alignment of your teeth or tooth damage. Professional tooth whitening can be done as part of a smile makeover. If it is part of a larger plan for your smile, tooth whitening happens before restorations are placed, so your restoration matches your new, personalized tooth color.
We pair tooth whitening with:
And other dental treatments, so you can look and feel your best.
Preventing Tooth Staining
While some discoloration naturally occurs as you age, your everyday habits can have a significant impact on the color of your teeth. Preventing stains can help your natural smile stay brighter and may reduce how frequently you want cosmetic whitening.
Some simple ways to limit staining include:
