Teeth Whitening What to Expect

Causes of Discolored Teeth

In about one hour, an in office whitening treatment can whiten and brighten your smile. Dr. Silverman always recommends that you begin your treatment with a clean and healthy smile for the best possible results.

The process begins with choosing the appropriate shade for an aesthetically pleasing result. The Opalescence professional bleaching gel is applied to the surface of your teeth and you can relax as it gently penetrates the enamel layer for a result that addresses the source of your tooth discoloration. You will leave after an hour with a bright, white smile.

Take Home Teeth Whitening

Many patients prefer the convenience of professional at-home teeth whitening kits. Dr. Silverman will create custom bleaching trays that will fit perfectly against your teeth and gums for minimal sensitivity and even whitening of the teeth. A quick trip to our Owings Mills, MD dentist office is necessary to enable us to get impressions of your teeth.

For both types of teeth whitening, it is recommended that you avoid tobacco use, dark foods and beverages as these will reduce the longevity of your result.
