Teeth whitening is a great cosmetic procedure for patients interested in revealing a brighter smile without waiting days or weeks for results. Before performing your teeth whitening, we will make sure your teeth are healthy enough for a cosmetic treatment. Then, we will listen to your concerns and goals before discussing your treatment options. Professional teeth whitening can give you fast, impressive results by targeting discoloration embedded deep within your natural enamel. With many advantages compared to store-bought whitening products, your professional teeth whitening at our office will be personalized to match your goals.

Carried out in the comfort of our luxurious treatment space, in-office teeth whitening at MINT dentistry usually does not require anesthesia; however, if you have anxiety over dental procedures or a powerful gag reflex, we may be able to offer some options for sedation. We will first need to clean and dry your teeth prior to the procedure so the whitening treatment can be applied evenly. Afterward, a protective barrier will be applied over your soft tissues while your eyes are protected with special eyewear. A member of our Temple Hills, MD staff will apply a professional-strength gel to your teeth and then expose them to our state-of-the-art whitening lamp. The mix of this light and gel works to reduce stains on the surface of your teeth. Depending on your present enamel color and desired result, this process may be done 2 – 3 times. As soon as your treatment is done, the remaining gel and gum barrier will be cleaned before your mouth is rinsed.

You will most likely be able to leave after your appointment and resume whatever activities you had planned, assuming no sedation was used. However, you should stay away from anything that will stain your teeth (coffee, lipstick, tobacco products) for at least 48 hours after your treatment. You may experience sensitivity to cold and hot — this should only last for 3 – 5 days. To maintain your results, you should brush your teeth as soon as possible after consuming staining food and beverages or tobacco products. When at home, you must follow a daily oral hygiene regimen, including cleaning and flossing to prevent new stains. Dental cleanings twice per year at our Temple Hills, MD dental practice will also help reduce new stains to help keep your smile sexy. Should you need to renew your results after a few years, you may schedule another professional whitening treatment or ask a MINT dentistry team member about our at-home teeth whitening treatments.

Teeth whitening is considered an elective treatment, meaning it's usually not covered by insurance. During your consultation at our Temple Hills, MD practice, our financial coordinator will go over cost estimates and payment options. Our entire MINT dentistry team is committed to helping you achieve the beautiful smile you want. Ask your dentist about our current specials, low-interest medical financing, or our MINT Discount Plan, which can help make your oral health and cosmetic dentistry treatments easier to afford.

When you want results that look amazing and last for years, in-office teeth whitening at MINT dentistry can help you get there by removing years of stains and discoloration in one short session. Whether you're interested in some light whitening or a bright Hollywood smile, our skilled dental team will personalize your professional whitening treatment to fit your goals.
