Put the Sparkle Back in Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening

December 31, 2024

There’s great power in a healthy, radiant smile. And the good news is that you don’t have to settle for less! If stained or discolored teeth undermine your smile’s appearance, you can restore its glory with professional teeth whitening treatment. At Portland Dental, we offer in-office whitening treatments that can brighten your pearly whites in one dental visit. Dr. Kaveendra Ranasinghe is your go-to tooth-whitening dentist in Portland, Oregon.

What to Expect from Professional Teeth Whitening

Stained teeth can make a poor impression on others and make you self-conscious about your appearance. Brightening your smile will make it gleam, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. Although aesthetics is the main reason people whiten their teeth, you get so much more with professional teeth whitening treatment.

Ridding your teeth of food and drink stains, discolorations, and plaque can lead to fewer problems with decay and gum disease. You can look forward to better oral health after whitening your teeth. Working with a dental specialist will make your treatment safer and more effective, with less risk of harm to your gums and teeth. Professional whitening services produce whiter, brighter results that can last for years. You won’t have to repeat the process every few months to retain your smile’s gorgeous appearance.

At Portland Dental, we offer both Opalescence and ZOOM in-office whitening treatments to meet your cosmetic dental needs. Here’s an outline of what to expect from our in-office teeth whitening procedure:

  • Sometime before your procedure, Dr. Ranasinghe will schedule a dental cleaning to eliminate plaque and tartar from your teeth so you can start your whitening treatment with a clean mouth.
  • We’ll also review a tooth shade color chart together to decide how much lighter you’d like your teeth to be without compromising your smile’s natural appearance.
  • On the day of your whitening treatment, we’ll prepare your teeth by polishing them lightly to remove any remaining plaque after your cleaning.
  • A barrier is then placed along the gum line to protect the gums, tongue, and cheeks from the whitening agents.
  • Depending on your chosen whitening system, we’ll apply the respective whitening agent to your teeth and proceed with the treatment steps. Opalescence whitening gels are chemically activated to eliminate deeply ingrained stains and brighten your smile. We’ll apply the gel to your teeth two or three times at 20-minute intervals to get optimal results. With ZOOM whitening agents, we’ll activate the whitening gel using a laser lamp, repeating the process two or three times at 15-minute intervals.
  • After your treatment, you’ll rinse your mouth to remove the excess whitening agent. We can also apply fluoride to your teeth to minimize post-whitening sensitivity.

Your dazzling smile is now ready to make its debut!
