Markington Dental Teeth Whitening

Achieve a Dazzling Smile

Whiter teeth are incredibly popular these days, and for good reason! A bright, radiant smile truly stands out. It can even boost your confidence, both at work and in social settings. Achieving a whiter smile is now simpler than ever with a professional whitening session at Markington Dental. Our professional whitening treatments can make your teeth up to eight shades lighter.

Your Smile's Safety is Our Priority at Markington Dental

At Markington Dental, everything we do revolves around providing the best possible oral health care. The whitening products our dentists use are safe, industry-standard solutions that deliver fantastic results.

Our skilled dentists are expertly trained in teeth whitening techniques, ensuring you leave with immediate, noticeable results that give you new confidence to smile brightly.

Whiter Teeth in About an Hour

While every patient is unique, most teeth whitening sessions can be completed in just about an hour. With evolving new technology, some sessions can even be finished in as little as 45 minutes! Here’s what you can typically expect during a professional teeth whitening appointment:

Your dentist will discuss various tooth shades with you, helping you choose how much lighter you'd like your teeth to become. They may also offer personalized advice on what would be safe and appropriate for your current tooth shade.

Dentists apply a specialized gel substance that contains a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than what you'd find in over-the-counter products. This hydrogen peroxide works by penetrating beneath the tooth's surface to gently bleach your teeth whiter. Rest assured, it's completely safe for both you and your teeth.

Another key ingredient in our professional gel is potassium nitrate. This is included to help strengthen tooth enamel, provide protection against cavities, and reduce potential tooth sensitivity. Once the gel is applied to your teeth, your dentist will use a special ultraviolet light to activate the chemicals in the gel. You'll see immediate, stunning results as soon as the light is turned off and you glance in the mirror!

The only potential side effect is that you might experience some temporary tooth sensitivity. Your dentist will advise you to avoid pigmented foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and tomato sauce for 48 hours after your session. The dark coloring in these items could be absorbed by your teeth, as they are more porous immediately following a whitening treatment.

Unlock Your Whitest Smile

While at-home whitening kits can be helpful, the professionals at Markington Dental offer superior teeth whitening results. A professional whitening session provides immediate, dramatic results that will last much longer than those from a kit. Contact us today to discover how we can help you achieve your brightest smile!
