What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens your natural tooth color and eliminates stains or discoloration. The treatment works by safely removing both surface stains and deeper discoloration within your teeth, giving you a noticeably brighter smile.

Your smile is one of the first features people notice, but if you have stained or discolored teeth, you may try to hide them in pictures and when meeting new people. Whether it’s years of drinking coffee, tea, and red wine, an injury, or years of wear and tear, you can achieve the radiant smile of your dreams with teeth whitening at SmileWorks in Manhattan. Our safe and effective treatments deliver noticeable results in just one visit that you are proud to show off!

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Store-bought whitening products often promise dramatic results but deliver disappointment. At our modern Midtown East facility, we use professional-strength whitening systems under careful supervision. Our treatments are faster, more effective, and safer than over-the-counter options.

Dr. Shin and our experienced team customize each treatment to your sensitivity level and desired shade. We use advanced technology to ensure even coverage and optimal results, giving you the confidence that comes with a beautifully white smile.

While the process for teeth whitening is relatively simple, our caring team guides you through every step so you always know what to expect. Professional teeth whitening solutions are much stronger than over-the-counter solutions, giving you noticeable results with the following steps:

Next, we check the shades of your teeth, take photographs and a 3D scan of your teeth, and take X-rays if needed. This gives us a complete picture of your health and helps us identify the cause of your discoloration.

Preparation

To prepare your teeth for whitening, we use a pumice to clean and polish them. Then, we place a cheek retractor and barrier on your gums to keep your teeth dry and gums protected from the whitening gel.

During the treatment, we place powerful whitening gel on 10 to 12 front teeth on each arch. Then, we place a special light over the gel for 10 to 15 minutes to activate it. This step is repeated for three to four cycles.

Wondering what professional teeth whitening can do for you? Beyond just brightening your teeth, professional whitening at SmileWorks offers lasting benefits that can transform your smile and confidence. Here’s what you can expect from our advanced whitening treatments:

Look Years Younger

Professional teeth whitening does more than just brighten your smile – it can transform your entire appearance. Our advanced whitening treatments remove years of stains from coffee, wine, and everyday foods, revealing a naturally brighter smile that can make you look up to 10 years younger.

A brighter smile leads to increased confidence in both personal and professional settings. Whether you’re preparing for a job interview, planning your wedding photos, or simply want to feel more self-assured in social situations, professional whitening helps create the positive first impression you’re looking for. Your enhanced smile can open doors and create opportunities in both your social life and career.

Professional whitening at SmileWorks goes beyond aesthetics. During your treatment, we remove plaque and surface stains that can contribute to cavities and gum problems, supporting your overall oral health. Many patients find themselves more motivated to maintain excellent oral hygiene after seeing their brilliant results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed under the supervision of a dentist. The procedure does not damage enamel or other tooth structures. Some sensitivity may occur temporarily but usually resolves within a few days.

The results of teeth whitening typically last between six months and two years, depending on lifestyle factors such as diet and oral hygiene. Avoiding staining foods, drinks (like coffee or red wine), and smoking can help maintain results for longer.

Teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity in some individuals. This sensitivity usually subsides within 1-2 days after treatment. We recommend desensitizing toothpaste or gels to manage this issue.

No, teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. It does not change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or other dental restorations.

Teeth whitening is most effective on yellowish stains caused by food, drinks, or smoking. Stains from medications (e.g., tetracycline) or intrinsic discoloration due to genetics are harder to treat and may require alternative solutions.

Most people with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for teeth whitening. However, individuals with gum disease, tooth decay, or hypersensitivity should address these issues before undergoing treatment.

For at least 48 hours after treatment, avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and foods with artificial coloring. Refrain from smoking as well to preserve results.
