Is Tooth Whitening Bad For My Enamel?
Tooth whitening is not bad for your enamel It simply removes the stains and color from it.
How Long Does Tooth Whitening Last?
A lot of the answer to this question depends on the person and your habits. Certainly things like smoking, red wine, etc will darken bleached teeth quicker than people that don’t do these things. Typically though, after the intial bleaching takes place you might expect to do a touch up at home every 4 – 6 months.
How Much Does Tooth Whitening Cost?
Typically in office bleaching is somewhere in the $500 dollar range.
Does Tooth Whitening Affect Fillings, Veneers, Or Crowns?
Whitening will not change the color of fillings, veneers or crowns. If you are planning on any dental work being done on your front teeth, be sure to have the bleaching done first.
How Can I Keep My Teeth White After The Treatment?
There are several tips to help keep your teeth their brightest.
- Limit the amount of red wine you drink. It is notorious for staining teeth
- Be sure to have great home care and brush and floss your teeth every day.
- See your hygienist on a regular basis to keep your teeth clean

At-Home Teeth Whitening
Many of our clients like the low cost and easy use of an at-home whitening treatment. There are two at-home kits available from The Hills Dental Spa. The traditional whitening kit consists of a set of custom-made plastic bleaching trays that fit comfortably in your mouth. We take an impression of your teeth and have your kit ready in about 3 days. You will use a prescription-strength whitening gel once a day for one hour and follow this routine for 2 weeks to achieve maximum results. What’s more, you can continue to use these trays and gel once a month to maintain your ideal whiteness.
Or, simply pop by our office and take home a Zoom take-home whitening kit. There are two options: DayWhite and NiteWhite. DayWhite requires wearing trays for 30–90 minutes daily, while NiteWhite is used for 2–4 hours or overnight. Both kits include custom-fitted trays and whitening gel designed to protect enamel and reduce sensitivity. You’ll see noticeable results in just 1–2 weeks. Consult with our dentists to find the best option for you and enjoy a brighter smile with minimal sensitivity.
Maintenance Products
Many clients benefit from the use of simple at-home maintenance products to prevent new surface stains from forming on their teeth.
We recommend using Philips Sonicare toothbrushes, which help maintain your white smile by effectively removing surface stains and plaque.
Pairing this with a fluoride mouthwash can reduce any sensitivity during whitening and help rinse away surface stains before they set in.
If you have whitening trays for use at home but you just don’t remember to use them regularly, you might like having us do the whitening for you at each of your dental cleaning appointments. Bring in your bleaching trays to your next dental cleaning and for just $25 you’ll walk out of the office with a high-powered whitening gel that you just wear for 30 minutes. That’s it and you’ll get about 1 shade whiter with no real effort on your part. Feel free to call our office for more details on the whitening products and services available.

If you have dark spots or white spots on your teeth that won’t seem to go away with standard teeth whitening, dental veneers may be the answer for you. Permanently alter the color of the teeth in your smile with porcelain veneers. If you want to whiten discolorations that you‘ve lived with for years, make an appointment to consult with Dr. Winters, DDS, about the best treatment option for you. Changes can be made to your smile in a matter of a few weeks and the benefits of a more beautiful smile will last a lifetime.

Teeth Polishing
Do you have white spots or dark bands on your teeth that you’ve lived with for years? Often these discolorations can be repaired with a combination of BriteSmile in-office teeth whitening and tooth polishing. Tooth polishing takes just minutes per tooth and is an inexpensive option for removing white spots or evening stains. Often polishing is ideal for cases where the patient is happy with the shape of their smile and the teeth are healthy. In these cases, a simple polish can remove surface discoloration without the need for dental bonding or tooth veneers. Of course, if you want to change the shape of your smile, this might not be the best treatment. If you have discoloration you’re concerned about, we can discuss the benefits of teeth polishing.

Are you embarrassed about a dark black line at the gums where your existing dental crowns are discoloring? This is a common problem if you have porcelain crowns that were made with metal underneath. Sometimes the gums don’t like this metal and they can pull away from the tooth crown, creating a small gap between the crown and the gumline. Over time, this tiny gap can discolor to a dark blackish brown that you may not like. This is a problem that can occur on the front teeth or on back molars. Luckily, the fix is simple. We can replace that old dental crown with a solid-porcelain crown that has no metal substructure, eliminating the possibility of a new, unsightly black line forming later. A solid porcelain tooth crown is much more life-like and natural looking than the porcelain/metal combination, and you won’t have to worry about gum problems later. Plus, most dental crowns can be done in our office in just one visit, with no annoying temporary to deal with.

Replace Metal Dental Fillings
Do you feel like your smile is more gray than white? Often, old silver fillings on back molars can make your teeth look gray when you smile. Sometimes this is due to the metal in the teeth, but other times it is caused by new decay that has leaked into the tooth underneath and around the old silver filling. Removing the old metal filling will not only make your smile whiter, but will also make each tooth stronger and more healthy.
