IS TEETH WHITENING RIGHT FOR YOU?
A Brighter Smile Starts at Buschbach Dental
Professional teeth whitening may be an option for patients with healthy teeth and gums who would like to reduce the appearance of certain stains and discoloration.
Before recommending treatment, we’ll consider factors such as:
- Your current oral health
- Existing tooth sensitivity
- The type of discoloration
- Crowns, veneers or fillings in visible areas
- Your desired result
It’s particularly important to mention restorations because crowns, veneers and composite restorations don’t whiten like natural tooth enamel.

FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions About
Root Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening can help brighten your smile and reduce the appearance of many common stains and discoloration. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about teeth whitening and what to expect from treatment.
Professional teeth whitening uses specially formulated whitening agents to help break down stains and discoloration on the teeth. Your dentist can recommend a whitening approach based on your current tooth color, oral health, and cosmetic goals.
Professional whitening provides treatment under the guidance of a dental professional and can be customized to your individual needs. Over-the-counter strips and whitening products may improve some surface stains, but results can vary depending on the product and the type of discoloration.
Whitening results vary from person to person. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other foods and habits that cause staining can gradually darken teeth again. Good oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings can help maintain a brighter smile.
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening treatment. This usually improves after treatment is completed. If you already have sensitive teeth, let your dentist know so your whitening options can be discussed before treatment.
Not all tooth discoloration responds to whitening in the same way. Yellow or surface staining often responds differently than discoloration caused by medications, trauma, or changes within the tooth. Your dentist can evaluate the cause of discoloration and recommend the appropriate cosmetic treatment.
Whitening treatments are designed to lighten natural tooth enamel and generally do not change the color of existing crowns, composite fillings, or veneers. If you have visible dental restorations, your dentist can help plan your treatment so your smile has a more consistent appearance.
Brush and floss regularly, maintain routine dental cleanings, and limit foods and beverages that commonly stain teeth. Rinsing with water after drinking coffee, tea, or other dark-colored beverages may also help reduce new staining.
