Teeth Whitening

Convenient and More Effective Than Over-The-Counter Kits

Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.

People often buy take home over-the-counter kits from the store or online. However, the weak applicators and diluted whitening agents can only brighten your teeth by a shade or two, often leading to disappointment. The good news? At Homestead Dental, we offer a convenient and highly effective solution—professional teeth whitening.

If you’re unhappy with the shade of your teeth, then it’s worth scheduling an appointment with us – we’ll determine if you’re a good candidate for professional teeth whitening!

How Our Easy Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit Works

At Homestead Dental, we offer PolaDay take-home teeth whitening kits. Unlike the products you’ll find at your local grocery store or pharmacy, these kits contain potent brightening agents that are capable of noticeably lightening the shade of your teeth. Furthermore, this brand contains additives that minimize plaque formation and prevent dental sensitivity afterward. Of course, one of the biggest benefits of this cosmetic dental treatment is that the entire process (outside of the consultation, of course) can be completed from the comfort of your own home!

Want to Keep Your Teeth Bright and White? - Some Tips

Usually, the results of professional teeth whitening last anywhere from three to six months. However, stains will surface much sooner if you don’t take good care of your smile. For that reason, we strongly recommend:

  • Using a straw when drinking coffee, soda, or any other dark-colored beverages.
  • Eating white fish, plain yogurt, egg whites, and other light-colored foods.
  • Consistently brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash.
  • Avoiding unhealthy dental habits, like smoking.
  • Scheduling a dental checkup and cleaning twice a year.
  • Getting touch-up whitening treatments as needed.
