Teeth Whitening Severna Park, MD

Teeth Whitening: An Overview 

One of the fastest and most affordable ways to transform your smile is teeth whitening treatment. At our Severna Park, MD dentist office, we offer teeth whitening options to meet your needs, schedule and budget.

We offer at-home treatment for teeth whitening. This treatment is designed to effectively brighten your teeth multiple shades over the course of a few weeks. Patients can reach their desired results on their own time.

Many of our patients find at-home teeth whitening to be a very convenient option. We will create a custom bleaching tray that is to be worn every day for several weeks. The customized teeth bleaching trays ensure that the whitening solution is administered evenly and properly without causing damage to the gums or tooth enamel.

It is important to note that not all stains can be treated with at home teeth whitening. If this is the case, we may recommend another cosmetic dentistry treatment such as porcelain veneers or tooth bonding to improve the appearance of your smile.

During your appointment, we will discuss your cosmetic goals, budget, and dental needs to determine the best solution for your smile. Take-home teeth whitening is a great way to brighten your smile multiple shades.

Receiving your custom teeth whitening trays will require at least two visits to our dental office. During the first visit, we will take impressions of your teeth to fabricate your teeth whitening trays. Once your trays are complete, we will contact you to pick them up. Dr. Morgan will explain all aspects of your care and answer any questions you may have regarding your treatment.

The cost of teeth whitening depends on the type of treatment you select. In general, at-home teeth whitening costs less than in-office treatment.

The permanence of teeth whitening depends on your maintenance and oral health routine post-treatment. Avoiding dark foods and beverages (such as coffee, tea, and soda) after treatment will prevent teeth from staining or darkening. Teeth may require periodic touch-ups to maintain their initial bright white appearance.

There are minimal teeth whitening side effects. Most frequently, patients report mild to moderate tooth sensitivity.
