Transform Your Smile: The Magic of Smile Makeovers

Why Do Teeth Get Discolored?

Understanding the causes of tooth discoloration can help you maintain your whitening results longer. Common factors include:
  • Food and Beverages: Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain fruits can stain teeth over time
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco leaves stubborn yellow or brown stains
  • Age-Related Changes: Enamel naturally thins with age, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath
  • Medications: Certain antibiotics, antihistamines, and high blood pressure medications can affect tooth color
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow stain-causing particles to accumulate
  • Genetics: Some people naturally have more yellow or gray tooth enamel than others
By identifying your specific causes of discoloration, Dr. McVey can recommend the most effective whitening approach for your situation.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

When performed by a cosmetic dentist like Dr. McVey, professional teeth whitening is extremely safe. Our treatments use carefully formulated products with controlled concentrations of whitening agents to minimize sensitivity while maximizing results.

Before recommending any whitening treatment, we perform a comprehensive dental exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. Unlike over-the-counter products that use a one-size-fits-all approach, our professional treatments are customized to your specific oral health needs and desired outcome.

Rest assured that all whitening products and techniques we use have been thoroughly tested and approved for dental use, providing peace of mind along with your brighter smile.

Our hundreds of 5-star reviews highlight the life-changing transformations that have boosted our patients' confidence and improved their quality of life.

Teeth Whitening Options

We offer several whitening solutions to accommodate different preferences, budgets, and lifestyle needs:

Teeth Whitening Options

Our in-office Zoom whitening treatment delivers the fastest, most dramatic results in just one visit. This popular option brightens teeth by up to eight shades in approximately one hour. The procedure includes:
  • Protection of gums and soft tissues
  • Application of professional-strength whitening gel
  • Activation with specialized light technology
  • Multiple treatment cycles for optimal results
This is the perfect solution for patients seeking immediate results for an upcoming special event or those who prefer the convenience of a single appointment.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Our professional take-home kits offer excellent results with the flexibility to whiten at your convenience. Unlike store-bought strips or generic trays, our kits include:
  • Custom-fitted whitening trays created from impressions of your teeth
  • Professional-grade whitening gel in appropriate strengths
  • Personalized instructions for optimal results
  • Regular monitoring by our team
These kits deliver significant whitening over 1-2 weeks while allowing you to control the process. Many patients achieve results comparable to in-office treatment but at a more affordable price point.

DIY Teeth Whitening Remedies (and Why to Avoid Them)

While DIY whitening products like strips, pens, and over-the-counter kits may seem convenient, they often deliver disappointing results and can potentially harm your teeth. Common issues include:
  • Uneven whitening due to generic, ill-fitting application methods
  • Temporary results that fade quickly
  • Increased sensitivity from improper use
  • Damage to enamel from abrasive ingredients
  • Gum irritation from uncontrolled application
Home remedies like charcoal, baking soda, or fruit acids can be even more harmful, wearing away enamel and causing long-term damage. Professional whitening is safer, more effective, and often more economical in the long run.

Teeth Whitening FAQ

How long do whitening results last?
Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on lifestyle factors and maintenance. Touch-up treatments can easily restore brightness
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, but our professional approach minimizes this side effect. Dr. McVey can recommend products to manage any discomfort.
Whitening works best on natural teeth with yellow discoloration. It's less effective on restorations like crowns or gray-tinted teeth. Dr. McVey will advise you on the most appropriate solutions for your situation.

Pricing and Insurance

We strive to make professional whitening affordable for all our patients. Our various options accommodate different budgets, from comprehensive in-office treatments to economical take-home systems.

Most dental insurance plans consider whitening cosmetic and don't provide coverage, but we offer flexible payment options to help fit this investment into your budget. During your consultation, we'll discuss all costs and payment alternatives.
