A bright, white smile is one of the most noticeable features when meeting someone new. Unfortunately, everyday habits like coffee, tea, wine, or even simply aging can leave teeth looking dull or discolored. While store-bought whitening strips and kits may promise quick fixes, the results often fall short. For patients who want safe, effective, and lasting results, professional teeth whitening at BENE Dental in Norwell, MA is the clear choice.
Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Store-Bought Kits?
Over-the-counter whitening products are popular for their convenience, but they rarely deliver the dramatic results most patients are looking for. Here’s how they compare to professional whitening treatments at BENE Dental:
-
Strength of Whitening Agents
Store-bought products use lower concentrations of whitening gel to ensure safety without professional supervision. As a result, it can take weeks of daily use to see minimal changes. Professional whitening uses stronger, dentist-approved solutions that break down deep stains quickly and safely. -
Customization
Drugstore kits come in one-size-fits-all formats, which may not fit properly or cover every tooth evenly. At BENE Dental, whitening trays and in-office treatments are customized to your smile, ensuring uniform results. -
Safety & Comfort
Improper use of at-home products can lead to gum irritation or uneven whitening. Under the guidance of our dental team, we protect your gums and monitor your treatment for maximum comfort. -
Speed & Longevity
While whitening strips may need weeks of consistent application, professional whitening often delivers noticeable results in just one session, with effects that can last for months or even years with proper care.
The In-Office Whitening Process at BENE Dental
At BENE Dental in Norwell, MA, we use advanced whitening technology to brighten smiles safely and effectively. The process is quick, comfortable, and produces immediate results. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Consultation
We start by examining your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is right for you. Patients with healthy teeth and gums are typically excellent candidates.
2. Preparation & Protection
Before treatment begins, we protect your gums and soft tissues with a special barrier. This ensures the whitening gel only affects your teeth and prevents sensitivity.
3. Application of Whitening Gel
A professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth. The gel works to break down stubborn stains caused by foods, drinks, tobacco, or aging.
4. Activation
Depending on the system used, a special light or laser may be applied to accelerate the whitening process and enhance results.
5. Immediate Results
Within about an hour, you’ll leave our office with a noticeably brighter, whiter smile. Many patients achieve results up to eight shades lighter in just one visit.
Tips to Maintain Your Brighter Smile
While professional whitening delivers dramatic improvements, maintaining your results requires good habits. Here are some expert aftercare tips from our team at BENE Dental:
-
Practice Excellent Oral Hygiene
Brush twice daily, floss daily, and keep up with regular dental checkups. A clean smile stays whiter longer. -
Avoid Stain-Causing Foods & Drinks
Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces can cause stains. If you do indulge, rinse your mouth or brush shortly afterward. -
Quit Smoking
Tobacco is one of the leading causes of stubborn tooth discoloration. Quitting helps protect both your smile and your health. -
Use Touch-Up Treatments
We may provide custom trays for at-home maintenance, so you can refresh your smile as needed without repeating the full treatment. -
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps wash away staining particles and keeps your mouth healthy.
