What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a popular treatment that can be done in various ways. Some people use over-the-counter (OTC) products that promise to whiten teeth at home. But these products are often weak and may not yield the desired results. On the other hand, professional teeth whitening uses the highest quality bleaching agents that are administered by our dentist, either in a dental office or conveniently in the comfort of your home. These methods have proven to be much more effective in achieving a brighter and whiter smile.
At Sky Creek Dental, we have the perfect solution for your every need! Our custom-made whitening trays are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth, allowing you to easily and effectively apply a professional bleaching agent at home. In under two weeks, you’ll see a noticeable difference in the whiteness and brightness of your smile, up to 10 shades lighter! And for those who want to see results even faster, we also offer in-office whitening treatment that can give you a dazzling smile in just one hour! Don’t wait any longer to get the smile you deserve.

Common Questions About Teeth Whitening
Will teeth whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Some patients may experience a slight level of sensitivity during the treatment. However, this is usually temporary and will go away a few days after your whitening sessions are complete. At Sky Creek Dental, we can recommend desensitizing treatments and special toothpaste that can help alleviate or even prevent tooth sensitivity so that you can enjoy your bright new smile without discomfort. Let us know if you have any concerns about sensitivity, and we’ll work with you to find the best solution.
What To Do After Teeth Whitening?
After teeth whitening, it is recommended that patients take certain precautions to maintain the whiteness of their teeth and prevent any potential sensitivity. Here are a few things that dental patients should do after teeth whitening:
- Avoid dark-colored foods and drinks: For the first 24 hours after whitening, it’s best to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries.
- Brush and floss regularly: Good oral hygiene is essential to maintain the results of teeth whitening. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day as usual.
- Use a straw: To avoid staining your teeth, use a straw when drinking colored liquids.
- Wait to smoke: If you smoke, it’s best to avoid doing so for at least 24 hours after teeth whitening.
- Use sensitivity toothpaste: If you experience sensitivity after whitening, use toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth.
We also recommend a follow-up with Dr. Cornelius to ensure that the whitening treatment is effective and to discuss further touch-up treatments if necessary.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
The results from teeth whitening treatment are usually long-lasting, leaving you with a radiant smile for several months to even years. However, certain lifestyle habits such as diet or smoking may cause your teeth to lose some of their brightness over time. But, no need to worry! Your teeth whitening trays can be reused multiple times as long as the alignment of your teeth remains the same. You would simply need to purchase more teeth whitening solutions from our dental office.
What if teeth whitening isn’t enough?
Our dentists will conduct a comprehensive examination before recommending a teeth whitening treatment. This is to ensure that the discoloration or stains on your teeth are not caused by any underlying issues such as internal tooth damage or infection. If such problems are identified, alternative solutions such as tooth bonding or porcelain veneers may be more suitable to address the root cause of the discoloration. This way, you can be sure that you are getting the most effective treatment. At Sky Creek Dental, we also offer a variety of other touch-up cosmetic treatments that can cater to your every need!
