Walker is pleased to offer take-home teeth whitening for patients who are ready to dramatically improve the appearance of their teeth in just one week.

Why Do Teeth Stain With Age?

Teeth change shades for a number of reasons as we get older, and genetic factors are also at play — some people were just born with darker or brighter teeth than others. But aside from genetics, some of the common external factors causing the teeth to darken or discolor with age include…

• Repeated exposure to highly pigmented foods and beverages (coffee, tea, dark sodas, ripe berries, etc.)
• Smoking and tobacco use
• Poor dental hygiene
• Certain medications, like tetracycline

No matter what caused you to wish for a brighter smile, your cosmetic dentist in Kernersville has a solution with professional teeth whitening.

But wait — can’t you just pick up a cheaper, faster bleaching kit on your way home from work? Not necessarily.

Why Professional Whitening Matters

Teeth whitening is more popular than ever these days, and that means there are a number of options promising brighter, whiter results. Take a stroll down the oral care aisle at the pharmacy and you’ll see toothpastes, rinses, and at-home kits that claim to break through even the toughest surface stains. But for the best results, you will need to partner with your dentist for a professional solution.

Dr. Walker offers our patients professional-strength take-home teeth whitening, which is far more effective than anything you can buy over the counter. The treatment is custom fitted to ensure the maximum safety and effectiveness. Compared to minimal whitening that’s achievable with over-the-counter options, a professional kit can brighten teeth up to eight shades in a single cycle. The results can last for many years with proper dental hygiene.

How Take-Home Whitening Works

To set you up with a take-home teeth whitening kit, we will take an impression, or mold, of your teeth to create trays for the upper and lower jaw. You fill these trays with the high powered bleaching gel, and wear the two for 20 minutes at night and in the morning. After about one week, your results are complete — and you’ll be smiling brighter than ever before.

Fluoride Helps Combat Sensitivity

Teeth whitening is commonly associated with tooth sensitivity. Dr. Walker can administer a topical fluoride treatment to strengthen the tooth enamel and combat discomfort. She may also recommend that you brush with an anti-sensitivity toothpaste, like Sensodyne, in the weeks leading up to your professional teeth whitening treatment.
