Teeth Whitening in Omaha and Millard, NE

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.

Before Whitening: Is It Right for Your Smile?

Tell us what you would like to change about the color of your teeth and whether you have sensitivity, cavities, crowns, veneers, or fillings that show when you smile. We can assess the cause of discoloration, discuss which teeth may respond to whitening, and recommend an option and schedule suited to your needs. Tooth-colored restorations will not lighten with whitening treatment.

How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?

Let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. We can discuss whether to whiten your upper teeth, your lower teeth, or both, depending on your smile goals.

For custom at-home whitening, we make trays designed to fit your teeth and provide a whitening agent with instructions for use. Wear time and the number of days needed depend on the product and the result you want to achieve. Once you reach your desired shade, occasional touch-ups may help maintain it. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.

Dental whitening can be used to address some types of tooth discoloration caused by staining or aging. Results vary according to the cause and color of the stains. If whitening is unlikely to achieve the result you want, we can discuss options such as crowns or dental veneers.

What Is the Teeth Whitening Process?

For custom trays, an impression is taken to make a specialized appliance that holds the whitening agent against the teeth. We will explain how much product to use, how long to wear the trays, and when to contact us about sensitivity. The length of treatment and the amount of whitening vary from person to person.

After Whitening: Maintaining Your Results

Continue brushing, flossing, and scheduling regular cleanings. Coffee, tea, tobacco, and other staining habits can affect how long your results last. Ask our team when a touch-up is appropriate, and contact us if you experience sensitivity or gum irritation while using your whitening product.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter whitening products are also available. Product strength and instructions vary, so ask our team which option suits your teeth and how to use it safely. Whitening can temporarily cause tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
