Are you looking to brighten your smile and remove stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, or other lifestyle factors? At Lakeshore Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile. Our safe and effective whitening solutions are designed to deliver fast, noticeable results, giving you a radiant smile that boosts your confidence. Whether you’re looking for a quick in-office treatment or the convenience of take-home whitening, we have a solution that’s right for you.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over-the-counter whitening products, such as toothpaste, strips, and gels, often provide minimal and uneven results. At Lakeshore Dental, we use professional-grade whitening treatments that deliver superior results while being safe for your teeth and gums.

Our whitening solutions are customizable to meet your needs, giving you the choice between:

  1. A quick in-office treatment for immediate results.
  2. Take-home whitening kits for the flexibility to whiten on your own schedule.

Causes of Tooth Discoloration

Teeth can become discolored for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Diet: Beverages like coffee, tea, soda, and red wine, as well as foods like berries and sauces, can stain the enamel over time.
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or using tobacco products often causes yellow or brown stains on your teeth.
  • Aging: As you age, your enamel naturally thins, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
  • Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics, can cause tooth discoloration as a side effect.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup, which causes teeth to appear dull or yellow.

Our Teeth Whitening Options

At Lakeshore Dental, we provide two professional whitening options tailored to your preferences and lifestyle:

In-Office Whitening

If you’re looking for immediate, dramatic results, our in-office whitening treatment is the perfect choice.

  • Fast and Effective: In just one visit, we can brighten your smile by several shades.
  • Safe and Professional: Dr. Crete ensures your gums and enamel are protected throughout the process.
  • Convenient: Achieve stunning results in as little as one hour.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Prefer to whiten your teeth from the comfort of home? Our customized take-home whitening kits provide the same professional-grade results as our in-office treatment, but at your convenience.

  • Custom-Fitted Trays: We create trays designed specifically for your teeth, ensuring even and thorough whitening.
  • Professional Whitening Gel: Our whitening gel is more powerful and effective than over-the-counter products.
  • Gradual Whitening: You’ll see results after just a few uses, with your smile becoming brighter over a period of days or weeks.
  • Flexibility: Whiten on your schedule, whether it’s during your morning routine or in the evening.

These take-home kits are ideal for patients who want control over their whitening process while achieving the same level of brilliance as an in-office treatment.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Choosing professional whitening treatments over store-bought solutions comes with numerous advantages, including:

  • Fast Results: In-office whitening delivers immediate results, while take-home kits allow you to brighten your teeth at your own pace.
  • Safe and Controlled: Professional whitening is supervised by Dr. Alexa Crete to ensure safety and minimize sensitivity or gum irritation.
  • Customizable Treatments: Both our in-office and take-home options are tailored to your unique needs, giving you control over how white you want your teeth to be.
  • Effective Results: Remove deep stains caused by diet, aging, or lifestyle factors with professional-grade solutions that work better than store-bought products.

FAQs About Teeth Whitening at Lakeshore Dental

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?

The results of professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. To maintain your results, we recommend:

  • Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine.
  • Practicing good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups.
  • Using touch-up whitening with our take-home kits as needed.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, professional teeth whitening is completely safe when performed under the supervision of a dentist. We use high-quality whitening agents and ensure that your gums and enamel are protected during the process.

Will teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?

Teeth whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel and will not change the color of dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have restorations, we can discuss options to ensure your entire smile looks bright and even.

Which is better for me: in-office whitening or a take-home kit?

Both options deliver excellent results! In-office whitening is ideal for patients looking for fast, immediate results, while take-home kits are perfect for those who prefer a more gradual process they can do at their convenience. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the option that best suits your needs and lifestyle.
