Teeth Whitening Boston
The Easy Way to Brighten Your Smile
Bright white teeth are often associated with youthfulness, beauty, and good health. Yellow or dull, teeth, on the other hand, may give an unflattering impression. What can you do if your teeth are not as bright as you would like? Talk to our Boston cosmetic dentistry team. We would be proud to serve as your local teeth whitening dentist! We offer both in-office and take-home treatments that can remove even very stubborn dental stains.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening can be an excellent treatment option for almost anyone who is bothered by unattractive stains on their teeth. This service can be very effective for addressing both extrinsic (on the surface of the enamel) and intrinsic (inside the enamel) stains.
During your consultation, we will make sure that your teeth are healthy enough to be whitened. We will also verify that your specific type of dental discoloration tends to respond well to whitening products.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening formulas use either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide to penetrate dental enamel, break up unwanted pigment molecules, and reveal a brighter smile. (Our team uses the Zoom! system, which features hydrogen peroxide.)
There are two main types of professional whitening: in-office treatment or a take-home kit. Either option can provide stunning results. Our team will recommend the one that we believe is best for your unique circumstances and goals.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you choose take-home teeth whitening, we will provide you with a custom kit. All you have to do is use the included trays to apply the formula to your teeth for a specific amount of time each day. You should see your final results in about two weeks.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening usually takes just one hour or so. We will apply the Zoom! formula to your teeth and activate it with a special LED light. We may do this up to four times during your appointment. Once the treatment is complete, your teeth may be up to eight shades whiter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Teeth whitening does not provide permanent results, but you can keep your smile as bright as possible for as long as possible by taking some simple precautions:
- Stick to a thorough oral hygiene routine.
- Minimize your intake of highly pigmented foods and beverages.
- Consume nutritious foods that support your oral health. (For example, white dairy products can fortify your teeth without causing new stains.)
- Do not smoke or chew tobacco.
- Attend regular dental checkups and cleanings.
- Perform periodic teeth whitening touch-ups when necessary.
