How Does Teeth Whitening Work at Espire Dental | Norman?

Teeth whitening works by using a bleaching agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to break down stains on the surface and deeper layers of the teeth. At Espire Dental | Norman, we offer two types of whitening treatments:

  • In-Office Whitening: For fast, dramatic results, our in-office whitening treatment can lighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour. During the procedure, we apply a powerful whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light, breaking up stubborn stains from coffee, tea, wine, and aging. The result? A noticeably whiter smile in just one visit.
  • Take-Home Whitening Kits: For patients who prefer a more gradual whitening process, we also offer custom take-home whitening kits. These kits include whitening trays that are custom-made to fit your teeth, ensuring even coverage and reducing the risk of irritation. You’ll use the trays with a professional-grade whitening gel for a specified period each day, achieving your desired level of whiteness in 1-2 weeks.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

With proper care, professional teeth whitening can last 6 months to 2 years or longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages can help prolong your results.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients experience mild sensitivity after whitening, but this is usually temporary. Our team takes precautions to minimize sensitivity by using desensitizing gels and adjusting the strength of the whitening gel based on your comfort.

Can anyone get teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is safe for most patients with healthy teeth and gums. However, Dr. Jim Spurgeon or Dr. Brett Leemaster will evaluate your oral health to ensure whitening is the right option for you. Patients with extensive dental work, such as crowns or fillings, may need alternative treatments.

What’s the difference between in-office whitening and take-home kits?

In-office whitening offers fast, dramatic results in a single visit, while take-home kits provide a more gradual whitening process over 1-2 weeks. Both options use professional-grade whitening gel, but in-office treatments tend to deliver more immediate results.

How white will my teeth get?

The results of teeth whitening vary from person to person, depending on the natural color of your teeth and the type of staining you have. Our team will work with you to achieve your desired level of whiteness.

Can I drink coffee or wine after whitening my teeth?

It’s best to avoid dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and wine for 48 hours after your whitening treatment to prevent staining. After this initial period, brushing and rinsing after consuming these beverages can help maintain your results.
