Teeth Whitening in Winchester by Dr. Radwa Sobieh

Professional teeth whitening at Winchester Dental Studio is supervised by a dentist, which at-home kits are not.

Our dentists check your teeth and gums first and adjust the treatment to keep it comfortable. Professional whitening also works faster and gives a more noticeable result than most over-the-counter products.

We offer in-office and take-home whitening, so you can choose the method that fits your schedule.

In-Office Whitening: Experience rapid results with our in-office whitening procedure.

A stronger whitening gel is applied to your teeth in the office while your gums are protected, for a noticeable change in one visit.

Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth teeth whitening experience at Winchester Dental Studio. Here’s what you need to know before your appointment:

• Consultation: A pre-whitening consultation allows us to understand your expectations and assess the suitability of teeth whitening for you.
• Cleaning: It’s advisable to have a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, ensuring the bleaching agents effectively interact with your teeth.
• Sensitivity Management: If you have sensitive teeth, let us know. We have measures in place to manage sensitivity during the whitening process.

We understand that individuals with sensitive teeth may have reservations about teeth whitening procedures. At Winchester Dental Studio, we employ gentle yet effective methods to ensure a comfortable experience for all:

• Pre-Treatment Sensitivity Assessment: We evaluate your level of sensitivity to tailor the treatment accordingly.
• Gentle Whitening Agents: Utilization of mild whitening agents to minimize discomfort.
• Follow-Up Care: Recommendations for sensitivity-relief products to use post-treatment.

In-office or take-home whitening: which is better?

In-office whitening gives the quickest result, in one visit. Take-home whitening uses custom trays and a milder gel that you wear at home for a couple of weeks. It costs less, works more gradually and is easier on sensitive teeth. Both are supervised by our dentists.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Often a year or more. Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco bring stains back faster. Touch-ups with take-home trays keep the shade up.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Some people have mild sensitivity for a day or two. Tell us if your teeth are already sensitive. We can use a milder gel, shorter sessions or a desensitizing toothpaste before you start.

Will whitening work on crowns, fillings or veneers?

No. Whitening only lightens natural enamel, so crowns, fillings, bonding and veneers keep their color. If you have them on front teeth, we’ll plan around them.

Is professional whitening safe for my teeth?

Yes, when a dentist checks your teeth first and you follow the instructions. Cavities and gum problems should be treated before whitening. Read more about the benefits of teeth whitening.
