Why Teeth Lose Their Whiteness
Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to various factors including coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, certain medications, and the natural aging process. The enamel — the outer layer of your teeth — gradually thins, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
Professional In-Office Whitening
In-office whitening at Nova+ Clinic is the fastest and most effective way to achieve a dramatically whiter smile. Our dental team uses professional-grade whitening agents that are significantly stronger than over-the-counter products.
The procedure typically takes about 60-90 minutes and can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single session. We carefully protect your gums and soft tissues before applying the whitening gel, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience.
Custom At-Home Whitening Trays
For patients who prefer a more gradual approach, we offer custom-fitted whitening trays. Using our intraoral scanner, we create precise digital impressions of your teeth and fabricate custom trays that ensure even distribution of the whitening gel.
You wear the trays at home for a prescribed period each day, typically for 1-2 weeks. While results take longer than in-office treatment, many patients appreciate the convenience and control this method offers.
Maintaining Your Results
To keep your smile bright after whitening, we recommend:
- Brushing twice daily with a whitening toothpaste
- Limiting consumption of staining foods and beverages
- Using a straw for dark-colored drinks
- Regular dental cleanings every 6 months
- Touch-up treatments as recommended by your dentist
Is Whitening Right for You?
Professional whitening works best on natural teeth with extrinsic (surface) stains. It may not be effective on dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. During your consultation, our team will assess your teeth and recommend the most suitable whitening approach for your specific needs.
Combining Whitening with Other Treatments
Many patients choose to combine whitening with other cosmetic dental treatments for a complete smile makeover. At Nova+, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan that may include veneers, bonding, or orthodontic alignment alongside whitening for optimal results.
