A bright, confident smile can make a lasting impression, and teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments to achieve it. At Riverview Dental, we offer professional in-office teeth whitening treatments designed to safely and effectively remove stains and discoloration for noticeable results.
Over time, your teeth can become stained or discolored due to a variety of factors. Common culprits include coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, aging, and certain medications. While good oral hygiene helps maintain your smile, these external and internal factors can still cause teeth to lose their natural whiteness.
Professional in-office whitening treatments use powerful yet safe bleaching agents, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These agents penetrate the enamel to break apart the molecules responsible for stains. The whitening process lifts these stains from within the tooth structure, rather than simply removing surface stains like many over-the-counter products.
At Riverview Dental, our in-office whitening procedure begins with protecting your gums and soft tissues to ensure comfort and safety. We then apply the whitening gel and may activate it with a specialized light to accelerate the bleaching process. Most patients see a noticeable improvement in the brightness of their teeth after just one session, with minimal sensitivity.
While there are many at-home whitening options available, professional in-office whitening offers several advantages:
Faster and more dramatic results
Safer application under the supervision of a dental professional
Customization based on your specific dental needs
Reduced risk of irritation or uneven whitening
After your teeth whitening treatment, you can maintain your results by avoiding staining foods and beverages, brushing and flossing regularly, and scheduling routine dental cleanings. We may also recommend touch-up treatments or custom take-home trays to prolong your smile’s brightness.
Teeth whitening is a simple yet transformative way to refresh your smile and boost your confidence. Our professional in-office whitening treatments are tailored to deliver safe, effective results that make a visible difference.
