Professional Teeth Whitening Reno, NV

Brighten Your Smile in Reno

A bright, white smile can make a powerful difference in your appearance and confidence. Over time, factors like coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and even aging can cause teeth to become discolored or stained. While over-the-counter whitening products offer some improvement, they simply cannot match the dramatic, long-lasting results of professional teeth whitening performed by dental professionals. Whether you’re preparing for a milestone event, a family photo session, or simply wanting to reclaim the confident smile of your younger years, our professional teeth whitening treatments can help you make that lasting impression when it matters most.

At White Pine Family Dental, we provide state-of-the-art professional teeth whitening services that deliver exceptional results safely and efficiently. Our experienced team understands the science behind teeth discoloration and the most effective techniques to restore your smile’s natural brightness, all while ensuring your comfort and dental health remain the top priority!

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “whitening” procedure.

What are the details of teeth whitening?

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.

In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints.

With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.

Dental whitening can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in whitening technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of whitening treatments, teeth whitening is nearly always worth a solid try.

How is teeth whitening done?

An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or dental veneers may be more appropriate.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening can transform your confidence and love for your unique smile! When you opt for professional teeth whitening in Reno, NV, you will experience various benefits. These include the following:

Superior Results

Professional whitening uses higher-concentration whitening agents that aren’t available over the counter, resulting in teeth that are significantly whiter than what can be achieved with store-bought products. Our professional-grade treatments can lighten teeth by several shades.

Customized Treatment

Unlike one-size-fits-all commercial products, our whitening treatments are tailored to your specific needs. We consider factors such as the cause and severity of your discoloration, the natural color of your teeth, and your desired outcome to create a personalized whitening plan.

Safety and Comfort

Our professional instruction ensures that your teeth and gums are protected throughout the whitening process. We take precautions to prevent sensitivity and gum irritation, making your experience as comfortable as possible, even for those with sensitive teeth.

What Is Our Process for Professional Whitening?

We Prefer Take-Home Professional Whitening Kits For Our Patients

We offer custom take-home whitening kits that deliver professional results from the comfort of your home:

We create custom-fitted whitening trays from impressions of your teeth
We provide professional-strength whitening gel
We give you detailed instructions for safe, effective use
You achieve gradual whitening over 1-2 weeks
You maintain control over the whitening process

These kits offer more flexibility and less sensitivity than in-office treatments while still providing significantly better results than over-the-counter options.

What to Expect During Your Professional Whitening Consultation

Before beginning any whitening treatment, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to ensure teeth whitening is appropriate for you. During your consultation, you can expect the following to occur:

We examine your teeth and gums to confirm they’re healthy enough for whitening
We discuss your whitening goals and expectations
We identify the likely causes of your discoloration
We recommend the most suitable whitening approach
We address any questions or concerns you might have

We believe in transparency and will thoroughly discuss the expected results, timeframe, and investment before beginning treatment.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening in Reno, NV, Right for You?

Professional teeth whitening is an excellent option for most adults with healthy teeth and gums who are experiencing discoloration. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Whitening may not be recommended if you have any of the following conditions:

Sensitive teeth or gums
Worn enamel
Dental restorations in visible areas (such as crowns or veneers)
Certain types of intrinsic discoloration (discoloration from within the tooth)

During your consultation, our Reno, NV dentist discusses whether professional whitening is the best approach for your specific situation or if alternative cosmetic solutions might better achieve your goals.
