Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is a simple, conservative way to brighten your smile and reduce discoloration from aging, coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and other common sources of staining.

At Winston Smiles Dentistry, we offer custom whitening trays designed to fit your teeth comfortably and hold the whitening gel evenly against your smile. This approach allows you to whiten your teeth gradually and maintain your results over time.

How does teeth whitening work?

We begin by taking a digital scan or impression of your teeth so custom whitening trays can be made. Once your trays are ready, we’ll show you how to place the whitening gel and how often to wear the trays.

Most patients notice visible improvement after several days to a couple of weeks, depending on the starting shade of the teeth and the type of staining present.

Is whitening right for everyone?

Teeth whitening works best on natural tooth enamel. It does not change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding. If you have existing dental work in the front of your mouth, we’ll help you decide whether whitening alone makes sense or whether another cosmetic option may be a better fit.

For some patients, whitening is a great first step before considering treatments such as bonding, veneers, or crowns.

Maintaining your results

Whitening results can be maintained with occasional touch-ups, good home care, regular dental cleanings, and limiting foods and drinks that stain. We’ll give you instructions based on your goals and sensitivity level.
