Get Brilliance Back for Your Pearly Whites
Even if you take excellent care of your teeth and gums, after years and years, the foods and drinks you have can leave a residue on your enamel, giving them a yellow or brown dullness. As a result, a bright, white smile is associated with youth and beauty. Fortunately, reversing the color of your teeth is possible! You probably have seen whitening products at the drugstore, but did you know there’s a more powerful, effective way to reverse the clock on your smile? Reach out to us today to schedule your professional teeth whitening treatment in Rockville!

Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Compared to some cosmetic treatments, teeth whitening has very few prerequisites. To have your teeth whitened, you simply need to have a healthy, infection-free mouth. In other words, no cavities, no gum disease, and no severe dental damage. Because teeth whitening only addresses the shade of the surface enamel, the rest of your tooth structure needs to be in decent shape.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Whether you buy a whitening toothpaste or strips at the store or turn to us, most whitening treatments work similarly. They contain an active ingredient (either carbamide or hydrogen peroxide) that bleaches stains out of enamel. However, professional whitening has a significantly higher concentration of this active ingredient. While store-bought, commercial whitening tends to brighten teeth by around three to five shades, our whitening can make twice the difference!
Opalescence Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you prefer to handle your whitening at home on your own time, you can take advantage of our take-home kits from Opalescence. Usually, this treatment is worn for about 30 minutes every day for two weeks, which is what you’d do with store-bought options. Unlike those one-size-fits-all trays, we provide trays customized to your upper and lower arches. That way, the solution touches your teeth equally, ensuring even results.
In-Office Zoom! Or Sensational Smiles Teeth Whitening
For many people, prolonging treatment doesn’t fit in with their busy schedules. They would rather get it done in one session at our office, which is why we offer aa couple of options for treatment here. In either case, we use an especially potent solution that finishes in just one hour. This option is particularly convenient if you have a special event coming up soon or have a lot going on in your life.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Once you’ve achieved your final results, we have no doubt you’ll love your smile and want it to look that amazing as long as possible! While it won’t last forever and will likely need to be repeated about every two or three years, you can do simple things to preserve the whiteness and avoid staining your teeth again.
- Brush and floss every day.
- Continue visiting our office regularly for cleanings and checkups.
- Drink less dark beverages like coffee, red wine, colored soda, black tea, and others, and have more water sips throughout the day.
- Eat less soy sauce, tomato sauce, and acidic foods.
- Have more white foods like cauliflower, mashed potatoes, apples, or yogurt.
