The beauty of professional care
Dr. Tony Lu prescribes and oversees all whitening treatments available at our Cleveland, OH office. As a dentist, he has access to powerful whitening formulas that are clinically proven to break up and lift stain molecules. You also have peace of mind that the whitening ingredients will be applied evenly and safely for the most attractive results and comfortable experience. He also examines your mouth to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy before recommending treatment. Options will also be discussed should you have pre-existing dental-work, such as crowns. Restorations do not respond to teeth whitening.
At a young age, our teeth are healthy and white but over time the enamel coating the tooth is slowly worn down causing our teeth to become stained and yellow which is why teeth whitening is becoming increasingly popular today. There are a few methods for whitening – they include at home and in office. With in-office treatments you will see faster results, receive the safest treatments for bleaching the teeth and yield the whitest smile. So don’t settle for teeth that have become stained from years of coffee drinking, tobacco use or just ageing. Ask your dentist about whitening options that maybe right for you.
After confirming your oral health and speaking with you about your preferences and goals, Dr. Lu may suggest one of three whitening methods:
- Opalescence Go™ — These convenient whitening trays may be used to lift mild stains caused by staining foods and drinks. Precision-fit appliances come pre-filled, and easily slip over the teeth to deliver prescription-strength whitening gel. Wear as directed by your dentist each day to gradually reveal your whiter teeth.
- Opalescence Boost™ — Chronic coffee-drinkers or patients with built-up stains and moderate discoloration may benefit from this in-office treatment. Dr. Lu expertly applies the chemically activated whitening formula to your teeth. There are no uncomfortable heat lamps because the ingredients are not light activated. In a single, one-hour visit, you can eliminate years of cumulative stains.
- KöR® Whitening – Patients with very dark yellow or brown discoloration that does not respond well to other systems can get noticeable results with this proprietary system. Specialized whitening trays seal in a proprietary gel, which is sufficiently powerful to remove even deep discoloration such as tetracycline stains.
We are happy to provide so many ways for patients to get the smile of their dreams, or to restore their confident smiles. Do not waste your time and money on OTC products that either do not work or that cause irritation and sensitivity. Contact us for gentle yet powerful whitening that really works.
Frequently Asked Questions about Teeth Whitening
Why should I spend more for professional teeth whitening?
It’s easy to fall for the hype around online or store-bought teeth whiteners because of their convenience and low price. However, their results are often unpredictable and frustrating. Even worse, inappropriate use of DIY whitening gels can damage your teeth and gums.
If you want to whiten your teeth, do it the professional way. Dentist-supervised teeth whitening delivers faster, more noticeable results. We use clinical-grade gels that remove both surface and deep-set stains, delivering consistent results you can trust. While professional teeth whitening costs more than DIY teeth whitening, it’s worth the investment.
Can I whiten my crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening agents only work on natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, and fillings won’t change color because of their non-porous surface. If you want to receive veneers or other restorations, we recommend whitening your teeth first. That ensures everything matches the new shade and maintains a consistently white appearance. If your restorations change color over time, it’s time to replace them to maintain your beautiful smile.
Is teeth whitening painful?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. Some may notice temporary sensitivity. This usually fades within a day or two. Teeth whitening becomes painful if you have active gum disease or decay. That’s why we administer a comprehensive exam before any whitening treatment.
Is teeth whitening suitable for patients of all ages?
Whitening is ideal for adults with healthy teeth and gums. We do not recommend teeth whitening to young children or patients with certain dental conditions. We’ll evaluate your smile to determine your suitability for teeth whitening.
How long will my whitened teeth last?
Results can last several months to a few years. It depends on your habits. Drinking coffee, tea, or red wine can cause staining over time. Good oral hygiene and touch-ups help maintain your results. Our team will provide instructions on how to protect your investment.
Does teeth whitening damage my teeth?
Not at all. We use clinical-grade whitening gels that remove surface stains without damaging your enamel. Teeth whitening can be harmful when the whitening agent is left on your teeth for too long, which is often the case with DIY whitening. To achieve safe results with teeth whitening, use an accredited dental office like Downtown Dental Services.
Can I take coffee after teeth whitening?
It’s best to wait at least 24–48 hours before taking anything heavily pigmented or dark-colored. Your teeth are more prone to staining right after treatment. Avoid tea, coffee, red wine, beets, and other staining foods and drinks during this time. Afterward, you can indulge, but with caution. Use straws when possible, and rinse or brush your teeth soon after.
How much is teeth whitening in Cleveland, OH?
The cost varies depending on the type of teeth whitening and the severity of discoloration. We also offer several whitening brands—Opalescence and KöR® Whitening—which offer different price points. We’ll discuss costs during your consultation. Rest assured, we’ll only proceed once you understand your costs.
How can I make my whitening treatment more affordable?
While insurance doesn’t typically cover teeth whitening, it doesn’t mean achieving your beautiful smile should cost a fortune. Discover affordable dental care with CareCredit, which provides flexible repayment plans with little to no interest. Applying for CareCredit takes a few minutes, and you receive a response almost immediately.
