Professional Teeth Whitening in Omaha

Dental teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth, resulting in a whiter, brighter smile. The process typically involves applying a whitening agent, which contains bleaching chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to the surface of your teeth. This agent works by breaking down the stains into smaller pieces, which makes the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter. We use advanced techniques that enhance the effectiveness of the whitening agent, ensuring you get the best results in the shortest amount of time.

The longevity of your teeth whitening results can vary depending on individual habits and lifestyle choices. Typically, the effects can last from several months to a few years. To maintain your brighter smile, it’s important to avoid staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene practices and having regular dental cleanings will help prolong the results. We also provide advice and products for touch-ups to keep your smile shining.

Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after the whitening process. This sensitivity is usually mild and subsides shortly after the treatment is completed. We take measures to minimize sensitivity, such as using desensitizing agents and recommending specific aftercare routines. If you have concerns about sensitivity, we’re happy to discuss them and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Teeth whitening treatments are designed to improve the color of your natural teeth. Unfortunately, fillings, crowns, or veneers will not respond to the whitening process. If you have these restorations in your mouth, especially in the front, we will work with you to ensure that the overall appearance of your smile remains consistent. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace these restorations to match your newly whitened teeth for a uniform look.

After your teeth whitening treatment, it’s important to take certain precautions to maintain your new smile. We recommend avoiding foods and drinks that are known to stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, for at least 48 hours. Smoking should also be avoided. We’ll provide you with a list of post-whitening care instructions and may suggest using a sensitivity toothpaste if you experience any discomfort. Regular brushing, flossing, and follow-up visits to our clinic will help keep your teeth looking their best.

Most people who desire a brighter smile are good candidates for teeth whitening. However, the best way to determine if you’re suitable for the procedure is to have a consultation with one of our dental professionals. During this visit, we’ll assess the health of your teeth and gums, discuss your aesthetic goals, and review your dental history. We’ll also consider factors such as age, the nature of the stains, and whether there’s any existing dental work that could affect the outcome.
