Yellow teeth got you down? Yeah, I get it. Perhaps you’ve worked as a barista for years to support a heavy coffee addiction or maybe you like celebrating the weekend with a couple of glasses of montepulciano at Aurora Restaurant! Or you’ve just quit smoking but get reminded everyday of it from the dark pigment left on your teeth! Let’s talk about professional ways to brighten up that smile once again! It’s under there…I promise!
Many products currently on the market promise whiter, brighter teeth. The American Dental Association (ADA) says that if you are a candidate for a whitening procedure, your dentist may suggest a procedure that can be done in a dental office. Other options include at-home products, which your doctor may give you or you can purchase over-the-counter. But, dental professionals, and the ADA, caution you about the improper use of such over-the-counter products. They are sometimes too abrasive and can damage the teeth with extended use.
The ADA describes “whitening” as any process that will make teeth appear whiter, using one of two ways. A product can bleach the tooth, therefore changing the natural tooth color. A bleach contains peroxide that helps remove deep and surface stains. However, a non-bleaching whitening product contains substances that help remove surface stains only.
What to Expect
Your lifestyle appears on your teeth; years of drinking coffee, tea, soda, or red wine, as well as smoking, can darken your teeth. Let us put the sparkle back into your smile!

1 Hour Treatment
After an examination and cleaning have already been completed at Grand Street Dental, we will prepare you for a whitening procedure by having you brush with Sensodyne toothpaste for one week prior to the whitening. This toothpaste will help to relieve any sensitivity, which may be a short-term result of the professional whitening. A hydrogen peroxide solution gel will be carefully and evenly applied to your teeth, taking careful precautions to avoid the gums. The solution will be left on the teeth for 15 minute intervals and then washed away. Usually after three intervals of 15 minutes your teeth will have lifted three-four levels of on the shade guide! A fourth interval could be done if necessary.
