Dental Whitening in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Take-Home Teeth Whitening in Rehoboth Beach, DE

We create customized whitening trays for our patients to whiten their smiles at home comfortably. Our dentists take dental impressions to make the trays. Along with the custom tray, we provide patients with whitening gel. At home, patients place the whitening gel evenly in the tray. Then, they wear the tray for several hours a day.

Over time, the active ingredients in the whitening gel, including hydrogen peroxide, penetrate the tooth enamel. As a result, the whitening gel lifts stains from the teeth. We will let each patient know how long to wear their whitening trays to receive their desired results. Every patient is different and may require more or less treatment time with their trays.

Teeth Whitening FAQs in Rehoboth Beach

How can I treat deep tooth stains?

Patients with intrinsic tooth stains will not respond to professional whitening treatments. Intrinsic stains are stains that are caused inside the tooth. Dentin, the dark underlayer beneath the tooth enamel, makes the teeth appear discolored. We recommend porcelain veneers, tooth bonding, or dental crowns for patients with intrinsic staining. These treatments cover the teeth and blend in with the shade and shape of natural teeth.

What are the most common causes of tooth discoloration?

There are multiple causes of discolored teeth, including:

  • Foods and Beverages: Some foods and beverages contain chromogens, which are pigments that attach to the outer layer of the tooth. Coffee, wine, tea, berries, and tomatoes stain the tooth enamel.
  • Nicotine: Smoking, vaping, and tobacco products easily discolor the tooth enamel. Nicotine quickly yellows teeth and darkens the appearance of the smile.
  • Dental Injuries: Chips or cracks in teeth can make them seem discolored. This is due to dentin, the dark underlayer beneath the tooth enamel. Dentin shows through dental injuries and tooth wear, so you may only have single discolored teeth.

How do professional treatments compare to store-bought whitening?

Over-the-counter whitening kits do not offer a custom fit. Whitening strips easily slip around the mouth and do not effectively whiten the enamel. Additionally, some whitening treatments can irritate the gums or sensitive teeth. Our take-home whitening treatment is customized to each patient. We take care to ensure that patients receive the results they want with minimal sensitivity.
