When Combined With Other Cosmetic Procedures Teeth Whitening Can Be Even More Effective
Cosmetic dentistry doesn't just make your teeth brighter and whiter. It can also straighten your teeth and address other aesthetic flaws. For superior results, you can combine tooth whitening with Invisalign® and gum grafting.
Invisalign carefully moves your teeth into proper alignment while gum grafting can address problems caused by periodontal disease and recession. These dental treatments combined with whitening can create a gorgeous new smile that will last.

Proper Dental Care After Teeth Whitening
Refrain from Smoking
Smoking can discolor your teeth, making them look yellower. It can also have disastrous effects on your cardiovascular health.
Brush Your Teeth Twice a Day
To maintain your results, brush your teeth, tongue, and gums twice daily for two minutes. This will prevent plaque build-up and cavities.
Floss Once a Day
When food gets stuck between teeth, it can lead to tartar build-up and cavities, which can tarnish tooth whitening results. Flossing regularly can prevent that problem.Attend Regular Dental Visits
In addition to conducting proper oral hygiene, you should see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. They can ensure that your teeth stay beautiful and healthy.
A Teeth-Whitening Friendly Diet
Once you've successfully completed your cosmetic whitening treatment, you'll want to protect your results. The first two days after your whitening are the most important for ensuring the proper changes in your enamel. During this time, you should avoid these foods and drinks:
- Candy
- Soda
- Tomato Sauce
- Coffee
- Berries
- Tea
- Fruit Juice
- Red Wine
After the first few days have passed, you can have these foods again, but you should do so sparingly and mindfully.

Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening
Predictable Outcomes
When you choose teeth whitening treatment coordinated by a dentist, you can count on an accurate treatment timeline to deliver results that meet your expectations. Over-the-counter treatments can be far less predictable. If you want your smile to look incredible for an upcoming event such as a wedding, you need to know that your teeth whitening treatment will deliver. By choosing to undergo professional teeth whitening overseen by our Belmont dental office, you can be sure that you are on your way to achieving the bright, beautiful smile you want.Comfort and Safety
Over-the-counter teeth whitening products tend to be one-size-fits-all. But what if you have especially sensitive teeth? What if you happen to be allergic to the active ingredient? When you choose to undergo whitening by our dentists in Belmont, you can expect that your treatment will be tailored to your comfort and your goals. Perhaps most importantly, we will take precautions to make sure the only reactions you experience are big, beaming smiles thanks to results that help you look your absolute best.
Customization
Do you have crowns, bonding, or other restorations that don't respond to teeth whitening? You could find yourself with strikingly uneven results if you self-administer an over-the-counter whitening product. But by choosing a dentist to customize your treatment, they can make sure that your teeth are brightened to a shade that matches your dental work, giving you a result that looks flattering and natural.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
After you whiten your teeth, you may notice some sensitivity. Your dentist can talk to you about possible over-the-counter pain relief beforehand so that you are prepared.
After treatment, you should try to eat simple, soft foods like oatmeal, bananas, or smoothies to alleviate any gum or tooth sensitivity. Even if your gums or teeth hurt, please remember not to neglect your brushing or flossing.
The irritation should subside within a few days. If it continues, we are here to help.
