Teeth Whitening in Durham, NC

While over-the-counter whitening products may offer minimal results, professional teeth whitening provides:

• Faster, more noticeable results – Achieve a brighter smile in just one visit.
• Safer treatment – Reduced risk of gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.
• Even whitening – Avoid the patchy results that can occur with store-bought kits.
• Customized care – Treatment tailored to your teeth and desired shade.

We offer both in-office whitening and take-home whitening kits, giving you flexibility based on your schedule and whitening goals.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Our in-office whitening treatment delivers dramatic results in a single visit. The process involves:

1. Initial Consultation – Dr. Erfan Imeni will assess your teeth and determine the best whitening approach for you.
2. Preparation – A protective barrier is applied to your gums to prevent irritation.
3. Whitening Gel Application – A high-concentration whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a specialized light.
4. Final Results – After about an hour, your teeth will be noticeably whiter.

This option is ideal for patients who want immediate results before a big event or those with deep stains that require professional-strength whitening.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

For those who prefer gradual whitening in the comfort of their home, we offer professional take-home kits. These include:

• Custom whitening trays designed to fit your teeth perfectly.
• Professional-grade whitening gel for safe and effective results.
• Step-by-step instructions to ensure optimal whitening.

Most patients see significant improvements within one to two weeks of consistent use.

Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. To maintain your bright smile:

• Brush and floss daily to prevent new stains.
• Limit stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine.
• Avoid smoking and tobacco products.
• Schedule regular dental cleanings to remove surface stains and plaque buildup.
• Use touch-up whitening treatments as recommended by your dentist.

Teeth whitening is a great option for most people, but it may not be suitable for:

• Patients with severe tooth sensitivity.
• Those with intrinsic stains (e.g., stains from medication or fluorosis).
• Individuals with crowns, veneers, or fillings on visible teeth (whitening does not change their color).

If whitening isn’t the best option for you, we may recommend dental veneers or dental bonding for a brighter smile.
