Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
With teeth whitening, we can easily correct and remove tooth discolorations. These stains can appear as a result of aging, chemical damage to teeth, or external stains from certain foods. Dr. Moulton offers the safest method possible for making your smile look truly brilliant thanks to the latest advancements in whitening technology. If your smile is extremely discolored, you may need to opt for crowns or veneers instead. However, since teeth whitening treatments are relatively cheap, it’s always worth a try to see how it works for you.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Patients at Moulton Dentistry can benefit from take-home teeth whitening treatments. Rest assured, this process does not affect your tooth structure or any existing restorations in the process. Following your treatment, we’d like to take “after” photos at your next appointment so you can see the difference more closely!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
You’ll be able to start teeth whitening as soon as your custom bleach splints are ready, which only takes a couple of days to make! Our dental office provides you with not just the clear splints, but a special bleaching agent that’s placed into the splints. Simply wear the splints for 30 minutes to 1 hour every day and the bleach will bubble stains out of your tooth enamel. Once your enamel reaches the brightness you’re looking for, you’ll only need occasional treatments to keep your smile white.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
Perhaps because over-the-counter solutions often contain abrasive ingredients, many people wonder whether professional teeth whitening will hurt. Certain bleaching agents are overly harsh, which can cause tooth sensitivity, especially when eating anything hot or cold.
Fortunately, Dr. Moulton has access to high-quality products that maximize results while minimizing potential discomfort. Plus, our team uses customized trays made to fit your teeth specifically to ensure that you don’t experience any unpleasant sensations.
Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Potentially, anyone wanting to reduce the appearance of surface stains can benefit from teeth whitening. However, before you can undergo treatment, you must schedule a consultation with Dr. Moulton. He’ll examine your mouth first to ensure that you don’t have tooth decay or gum disease that can interfere with your results. He’s happy to help you improve the appearance of your smile but will need to treat any other dental problems to avoid possibly painful interactions.
For example, if you have a cavity, he’ll fill it first because applying whitening products over it can be incredibly painful.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
It’s natural to wonder how long it will take to lighten your grin to the ideal shade. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most efficient ways to enhance your appearance. If you choose to undergo an in-office procedure, we can generally brighten your smile by 6 to 8 shades in a single, hour-long appointment.
If you opt for one of our customized take-home kits, instead, it takes a little longer. You can expect to see changes within one to two weeks, but if you don’t see the results you were looking for, you might need another treatment. Feel free to let us know so we can help you achieve your ideal color.
How Can I Make My Teeth Whitening Results Last?
Once Dr. Moulton applies your treatment, you can expect the results to last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years. That said, you can keep your teeth brighter for longer by cleaning them regularly.
Brushing and flossing twice daily consistently removes plaque and bacteria buildup to ensure there’s no residue on your teeth for dark ingredients to cling to. Also, be sure to schedule a routine checkup and cleaning with our team every 6 months. We can reach places that can be hard for you to access at home, like behind your molars, to clear away germs or leftover bits of food. We’ll also polish your teeth to remove more recent surface stains.
