Teeth Whitening in Ridgewood

Over time, teeth can become stained and discolored due to substances that stain them such as food, beverages or aging. Nicotine, coffee and wine can all contribute to the staining and yellowing of teeth and create a brown effect on natural tooth enamel. The best way to whiten teeth is with a teeth whitening in Ridgewood. Many whitening treatments can last for a year or longer with proper maintenance and oral health habits. Our state of the art teeth bleaching system is quick and easy, allowing our patients to once again have a bright and beautiful smile.

Your teeth whitening in Ridgewood can be done either at home or in our offices. Should you choose the at home option, a custom made tray will be created by our dentist that you can take home with you. This ensures that the proper amount of whitening solution is applied to all teeth without harming the gums. We’ll also provide you with detailed instructions to make your home whitening process quick and easy. The home whitening can be done in two or three hours on your own time, or overnight if needed, depending on the whitening level being achieved. Should you choose to have the whitening done in our offices, your visit will be short and simple as our dentist creates a custom made tray for your mouth and applies a simple whitening solution that penetrates the stains within the tooth enamel. Sometimes a few visits are needed to achieve the proper whitening.

Teeth whitening in Ridgewood is not permanent, but can last for a year or more if proper brushing, flossing and oral hygiene regimens are followed. Abstaining from substances that contain teeth discoloring materials and from nicotine can help teeth the whitening last longer as well. After your teeth whitening procedure, we will also educate you on the benefits of proper oral hygiene and diet, which can affect teeth. A good maintenance and treatment plan will also help keep teeth as white as possible. Also, a proper diet is key to maintaining good oral health and in keeping the gums clean and healthy. Tooth decay can set in easily if lots of sugars are ingested, which damage teeth and also lead to discolor and decay.
