Over time, our teeth develop stains from the foods and drinks we consume. Our teeth can also collect stains from other things, such as medications, smoking and tobacco use, and more. If you’re unhappy with the color of your teeth, there’s a simple and affordable fix: professional teeth whitening!

We offer professional teeth whitening at our Arlington, WA dental office. With our help, you can attain the white, bright smile you’ve always wanted and erase years off your appearance. 

What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Our take-home teeth whitening system is customized to fit your unique smile, unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening kits. The kit includes professional-grade bleaching gel and custom-fit trays to whiten teeth and lift tough stains.

Our custom whitening trays are snug and protect your mouth’s soft tissues from irritation and sensitivity. Also, our bleaching gel uses clinically-proven ingredients designed to reduce dental sensitivity that some patients can experience during a whitening session. Ultimately, our take-home teeth whitening kits are strong, effective, and provide stellar results! 

Common Reasons for Teeth Stains and How to Keep Your Teeth White 

Many factors can contribute to a yellow, dark, or lackluster smile, such as:

  • Black tea
  • Red wine
  • Coffee
  • Dark colas 
  • Blackberries, raspberries, and other dark fruits
  • Curries
  • Tomato sauce and soy sauce 
  • Smoking and tobacco use 
  • Certain medications
  • Trauma or illness
  • Poor oral hygiene 
  • Age 

In addition to professional teeth whitening, it’s essential to practice excellent oral health habits to keep your teeth healthy and white. We recommend the following:

  • Brush your teeth twice daily. 
  • Floss once daily. 
  • Drink plenty of water. 
  • Limit your intake of pigmented and sugary foods and drinks. 
  • Eat a healthy diet. 
  • Stop smoking and using tobacco products. 
  • Visit your dentist for routine dental exams and cleanings.
