A brighter smile can make a noticeable difference in the way you look and feel. At Kaminsky-Wolf Dental Associates, we offer professional teeth whitening designed to safely and effectively improve the appearance of your smile.
Our Philadelphia practice offers both in-office teeth whitening and take-home whitening with GLO™, giving you the flexibility to choose the approach that best fits your schedule, preferences, and smile goals.
Professional Teeth Whitening in Philadelphia
Over time, teeth naturally become darker or develop stains from foods, beverages, aging, and other common staining factors. Professional whitening can help reduce many types of surface and deeper tooth discoloration, revealing a brighter, more refreshed smile.
Unlike many over-the-counter whitening products, professional whitening is provided with guidance from your dental team. Before whitening, we’ll evaluate your teeth and gums and discuss what type of results you can reasonably expect.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you’re looking for a more immediate smile enhancement, in-office whitening provides a convenient option for professionally supervised treatment. Your dental team will prepare your smile for treatment and use professional whitening products according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Because treatment takes place in our office, we can monitor the process and help ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
In-office whitening may be an excellent choice if you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to brighten your smile without committing to a lengthy at-home routine.
Take-Home Whitening With GLO™
Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? We also offer GLO™ take-home whitening. Take-home whitening allows you to brighten your smile from the comfort of your home using a professional system provided through our practice. Your dental team can provide instructions for use and help you understand how to incorporate whitening into your routine.
This option can be particularly appealing for patients who prefer a gradual approach or want the flexibility to whiten according to their own schedule.
What Can Professional Whitening Address?
Professional teeth whitening can be effective for many types of tooth discoloration, including staining associated with:
- Coffee, tea, and other dark beverages
- Certain foods
- Tobacco use
- Natural aging
- Some types of surface discoloration
However, not every type of discoloration responds equally to whitening. Restorations such as crowns, veneers, and tooth-colored fillings do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth.
If you have existing dental work or more significant discoloration, our cosmetic dentists can discuss whether professional whitening or another cosmetic treatment would be better suited to your goals.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Before beginning professional whitening, we’ll evaluate the health of your teeth and gums. Existing cavities, gum disease, significant sensitivity, or other dental concerns may need to be addressed first.
Some patients also experience temporary tooth sensitivity following whitening. We’ll discuss what you can expect and help you choose an approach that’s appropriate for your smile.
