Teeth Whitening in Charlotte

At Kleinheinz Dentistry in Charlotte, we use Ultradent Opalescence products for our in-office teeth whitening. With these products, we only need a single session to complete your whitening! During your visit, one of our expert dental assistants carefully applies the whitening agent to your teeth. As the whitener sits on your teeth, it reacts with stain particles and breaks them down.

After your appointment, it can take up to 2 weeks to perceive the complete benefits from your teeth whitening in Charlotte. Most patients are amazed at the transformative results from our whitening services.

Sometimes we may recommend at-home teeth whitening to whiten your teeth gradually over time. Our at-home services use a gel that is placed in custom-made whitening trays that fit over your teeth and submit your teeth to a thorough whitening process.

For our at-home treatment, you place a tray over both your top and bottom teeth, then wait for a specified amount of time. After the prescribed time has passed, you remove the trays. This process repeats for 10 to 14 days as the whitener takes effect over time.

Some people aren’t sure about the need for teeth whitening in Charlotte at a dental practice, especially with the availability of over-the-counter whitening products. In general, however, it’s always smarter to visit a skilled dentist like Dr. Kleinheinz for teeth whitening over commercially available products.

Our professional-grade teeth whitening services can create much more dramatic results than any over-the-counter offering. Plus, the results take less work to achieve and last longer, too!

When you use commercially available whitening products, it’s easy to cause gum irritation and discomfort. These products are usually one-size-fits-all, meaning they never fit quite right. This can place the active whitening agents in contact with your gums, increasing the risk of irritation. With our whitening, we’ll protect the gums with our personalized service!

Professional whitening is the best choice if you’re looking for a convenient, efficient option to renew your smile.

One benefit of teeth whitening is that there’s no major recovery or downtime needed after your session! You may feel some temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures on your teeth, but this fades away within a few days.

At the same time, the results from your whitening will begin to develop! It may take up to 2 weeks for you to see your full results.

On average, you can see up to 6 months of tangible improvements following your teeth whitening in Charlotte with Dr. Kleinheinz.

However, you can prolong these results in several ways by following the appropriate oral care routine. Make sure to brush and floss your teeth regularly with a whitening toothpaste to support your teeth’s shine. In addition, rinsing with mouthwash can further erase the signs of contaminants on your teeth.

Smoking and tobacco can greatly speed up the rate of staining on your teeth, so reducing or quitting these habits can keep your teeth whiter too. Similarly, drinking less coffee, tea, or wine can also protect your teeth from staining.
