Teeth Whitening in Scottsdale, AZ

Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments at Kierland Dental Arts

At Kierland Dental Arts, we offer custom take-home whitening trays. This approach allows you to achieve beautiful, long-lasting results while giving you greater control over the process, and many of our patients prefer it for several reasons:

• Less Sensitivity, More Comfort: Because the whitening gel is a lower concentration than what’s used for in-office treatments, take-home trays tend to be gentler on teeth and gums, resulting in less sensitivity during and after treatment.
• Lower Cost: Take-home whitening is typically more budget-friendly than in-office procedures, giving you a bright smile without a large upfront expense.
• Convenience On Your Schedule: You can whiten your teeth at home, in the evening, or whenever fits your routine, without needing to set aside time for an in-office appointment.
• Easy Touch-Ups: Since you keep your custom trays, you can use them again whenever you want to refresh your results, without scheduling another visit.

Our team custom-fits your trays to your teeth for even, effective whitening, and provides you with clear instructions to help you get the best possible results. Many of our patients are amazed at how simple and comfortable the process is, and often wish they had started sooner.

 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is professional teeth whitening safe?

A: Yes, professional smile brightening is safe when performed by a skilled dentist. The treatments we use are carefully administered to minimize risk and protect your gums and tooth enamel.

Q: How long does teeth whitening last?

A: The results of teeth whitening typically last from several months to a year, depending on your oral habits. Proper maintenance and care, such as avoiding stain-causing foods, can extend the results.

Q: Does sensitivity occur after teeth whitening?

A: Some patients may experience mild sensitivity following teeth whitening, but it is temporary. This sensitivity usually resolves within a few days after treatment, and we provide recommendations to help manage it.

Q: What foods or drinks should I avoid after whitening?

A: After treatment, it is best to avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and foods that can stain. These substances can re-stain your newly whitened teeth, so minimizing consumption helps maintain results.

Q: Do I need a dental cleaning before teeth whitening?

A: It is recommended to have a dental cleaning before whitening to ensure your teeth are free of plaque and tartar. A clean surface allows the results to be more effective and even.

Q: Will teeth whitening work on dental restorations, such as crowns or veneers?

A: Tooth bleaching treatments do not affect restorations like crowns or veneers, as they are made from materials that don’t respond to bleaching. We can discuss alternative options to enhance the appearance of your restorations.

Q: Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?

A: In most cases, a professional approach has no long-term side effects. Some temporary gum irritation or tooth sensitivity may occur, but these effects are generally mild and resolve quickly.
