Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Lady thinks something over

Teeth whitening is a noninvasive process that can usually be performed comfortably without anesthesia, so it can be a fantastic way for virtually anyone to remove stubborn dental stains and discoloration that can’t be lifted by brushing and flossing. However, you’ll need to be free from oral infections before the treatment can be performed safely, and we’ll be happy to perform any restorative work you need to become an excellent candidate. Teeth whitening can be used to treat stains located on the surface (extrinsic) or beneath the surface (intrinsic) of the enamel.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Store-bought whitening products often deliver lackluster results and may lead to injury due to poor manufacture or user error. Our in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments, on the other hand, reliably deliver incredible results in brief timeframes. After examining your teeth during your consultation at our West Jordan office, our dentist may recommend:

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

We’ll be happy to provide you with a customized teeth whitening kit that includes personalized dental trays designed to fit your smile and a tube of professional-grade whitening gel. You’ll only need to apply the gel to the trays and wear them over your teeth for about an hour every day for about two weeks to achieve astounding results.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

We can also brighten your smile with a noninvasive and painless procedure in our office that takes about an hour. Our dentist will apply several coats of whitening agent to your teeth and treat them with a specialized UV light, which will quickly and safely remove your dental stains.
