Teeth Whitening Wellesley

Do you feel good about sharing your smile when you meet someone new? Or do stained or discolored keep you from smiling with confidence and self-assurance? Did you know teeth whitening is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to enhance your smile?

At Wellesley Hills Dental, I offer customized teeth whitening you can complete in the comfort of your home whenever it’s most convenient. Custom teeth whitening trays are convenient, safe, and efficient at brightening your smile. Most of my patients achieve their desired results in 10 to 14 days after whitening for 30-60 minutes daily.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening in Wellesley Hills?

Here are some reasons why you might whiten your teeth with your Wellesley Hills dentist instead of choosing over-the-counter products.
Customized
We make your custom whitening trays using impressions we take of your teeth, ensuring a better, personalized fit that delivers excellent results.
Results
The bleaching gel we use at Wellesley Hills Dental is more potent and produces better results than the products you can purchase at the grocery store.
Safety
Custom-made bleaching trays ensure the whitening gel doesn’t escape and cause irritation to your gums and soft tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions

I completely understand patients' concerns about the safety of teeth whitening, and I'm happy to share that when performed professionally and correctly, it is a safe and effective cosmetic dental procedure.
 
Professional teeth whitening treatments, like the ones we offer at Wellesley Hills Dental, use carefully formulated whitening agents designed to minimize sensitivity and protect your tooth enamel. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional treatments are customized to your specific dental needs and monitored by trained professionals.

How We Guard Your Smile

Some patients might experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation after whitening, which typically resolves within a few days. This is completely normal and not a cause for concern. We take extra precautions to protect your gums during the procedure and can adjust the treatment intensity if you have sensitive teeth.
 
I always recommend professional whitening over drugstore alternatives because we can control the concentration of whitening agents, ensure even application, and monitor your oral health throughout the process. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your dental history, current oral health, and discuss any potential risks specific to your situation.
 
If you're considering teeth whitening, I encourage you to schedule a consultation so we can determine the best and safest approach for your unique smile.

How Take-Home Teeth Whitening Works

If you choose to whiten your teeth with our team, we’ll start by taking impressions of your teeth. My team uses those impressions to create custom plastic whitening trays specifically for your teeth.

The trays fit snugly, which helps produce better results than generic store-bought products that may not fit properly. Custom trays also prevent the bleaching gel from escaping and harming your gums.  

We’ll teach you how to apply the bleaching gel safely to your custom whitening trays so you’ll achieve the best results. We recommend whitening your teeth for 30 minutes a day at your convenience until you achieve your desired results.

I sell additional tubes of teeth whitening gel at Wellesley Hills Dental so you can always brighten your smile in the future if you have a vacation or other upcoming significant event.

How to Protect Your Smile Investment

Once you’ve invested in brightening your smile, I’m sure you’ll want tips on protecting that investment.

Be aware of some of the factors that contribute to tooth stains and discoloration:

  • Medication — Certain antibiotics and medications can stain or discolor teeth.
  • Foods and beverages — Red wine, black coffee, and dark berries are just a few foods and drinks that contribute to tooth discoloration.
  • Tobacco use — Smoking cigarettes or using other tobacco products leaves your teeth with brown or yellow staining.
  • Poor oral hygiene — Lack of consistent tooth brushing and flossing can lead to discoloration.

Committing to a consistent home care routine of brushing, flossing, and visiting us every six months at Wellesley Hills Dental are great ways to keep your smile bright and healthy.
