Professional Teeth Whitening in the Bronx

At East Tremont Dental, we help patients get a noticeably brighter smile quickly, safely, and affordably. Professional teeth whitening is one of the most effective and economical cosmetic treatments available, and our in-office whitening can deliver dramatic results in about an hour.

What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening, also called teeth bleaching, is a simple, non-invasive treatment that lightens the natural color of your teeth. Over time, coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and everyday aging can leave even healthy teeth looking dull or yellow. Professional whitening uses a stronger, dentist-applied gel than store-bought kits, while protecting your gums, so you get faster, more even results.

Whitening works on natural tooth enamel only. Crowns, fillings, and veneers won't change color, so if you have visible restorations, we'll help you plan your treatment so your whole smile matches.

What Causes Tooth Staining and Discoloration?

  • Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
  • Normal wear of outer tooth layer.
  • Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
  • Yellow, brown stained teeth.

In-Office Teeth Whitening at East Tremont Dental

A brighter smile can change how you feel about yourself and how you show up in photos, at work, and everywhere in between. Our in-office whitening treatment can lighten your teeth three to eight shades in about an hour. Before the whitening gel is applied, we protect your gums and the sensitive areas near the roots, so the treatment stays comfortable and safe.

Our professional-grade gel lifts stubborn surface stains that over-the-counter strips and toothpastes can't reach, giving you brighter, more even results. Some patients notice mild, temporary sensitivity for a day or two afterward, and we'll tell you how to keep it to a minimum.

Keeping your smile bright
Whitening results can last for years with good care. Smoking and drinking coffee, tea, or red wine will bring stains back faster, and many patients schedule a quick touch-up every year or two. At your visit, we'll recommend a maintenance plan that fits your habits. For what to do in the first few days, read our after-whitening tips.

Part of a complete smile transformation
Professional whitening is often the foundation of smile makeovers in the Bronx. It's paired with treatments like cosmetic bonding and porcelain veneers to create a bright, even smile. Call us at (718) 823-3000 to schedule your whitening appointment or ask about a smile makeover.

FAQ

How does teeth whitening work?

Opalescence® teeth whitening can be done to remove stains and discolorations. This whitening product has an active ingredient that penetrates your enamel and targets molecules that are stained or discolored. That ingredient, which is typically either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, spreads these molecules apart, which breaks up areas of stains and discolorations. That process makes your teeth look whiter again.

Is teeth whitening safe?

If you follow your dentist’s recommendations and instructions, teeth whitening is regarded as safe.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening will last long after treatment. Nevertheless, there are factors such as diet, smoking, and some medications that can affect how long the whitening lasts.
