Teeth whitening in Columbus
Often, enjoying life comes at the expense of our beautiful white teeth. Too much coffee, dark-colored foods and beverages, and some medications may have left your teeth dingy and discolored. Even if you don't smoke, vaping can sometimes cause tooth discoloration. So what's the answer? Professional tooth whitening can restore the beautiful pearly whites you once had and give you a smile that you're happy to show to the world.
Professional whitening is very popular. It's fast, affordable, effective, and it's one of our most popular procedures. If you want more information or to schedule a teeth whitening appointment, call our Columbus office, and we'll be happy to help you.
Why Opt for Professional Teeth Whitening in Columbus?
Although there's an abundance of teeth-whitening products in almost every box store or corner pharmacy, not all over-the-counter whitening products will yield the results you want. There can be other reasons for discolored teeth, such as an infection, and an at-home whitener won't cure that. If you have restorations, they probably won't lighten to the same shade as your natural teeth.
When you have a teeth whitening procedure in our office, we'll monitor your progress throughout the procedure and do touch-up work afterward to ensure that your teeth are uniformly lightened. Before we commence any procedure, we'll discuss your objectives and examine your teeth and gums to determine the best way to achieve your desired goals. We'll also discuss the best products or methods to use so you'll achieve the best results. If you have underlying causes for tooth discoloration, such as an infection, we'll help you clear that before we commence the teeth whitening procedure.
The advantages of professional whitening are:
- The procedure is monitored by professionals
- You get more even results
- The overall procedure takes less time
- You'll be more confident in the procedure

What About At-home Teeth Whitening?
In addition to our in-office procedure, we can provide kits for teeth whitening at home. The kits use the same professional-grade products we use in our office, so you'll achieve quicker results than you would from the over-the-counter products. Many patients report lightening their teeth by as much as six shades when they wear their trays one hour daily for two weeks.
What Will Teeth Bleaching Cost?
Since each patient is unique, there's no set cost for dental procedures because there are too many variables. Your total cost will be influenced by:
- The type of system we use
- The number of treatments you need
- The number of follow-up treatments you need
- The number of repairs you needed to ensure a uniform tooth color
If you want more information or to schedule an appointment, call our office, and we'll be happy to help you. After your consultation, we can provide a comprehensive estimate for your teeth whitening procedure.
Although we strive to keep our tooth whitening procedures affordable, there's a wide range in the cost. If finances are an issue, let us know, and we'll work with you so that you can afford the teeth whitening procedures you want. We accept major credit cards, insurance, and membership discount plans such as Smile Alliance Club, and we may be able to offer a financing plan. Smile Alliance Club isn't insurance. It's a membership discount dental plan that provides steep discounts on many dental procedures, and everyone is accepted.
Why Are Professional Whitening Products Better?
Professional whitening products are stronger and more reliable than the teeth whitening products you purchase over the counter. The trays, gels, rinses, and toothpastes you buy over the counter may provide some improvement, but if you use them incorrectly, they can irritate your gums and yield unevenly-colored teeth.
What Steps Are Included in the Teeth Whitening Procedure?
The specific teeth whitening system you select will determine your particular procedure, but generally, you can expect the following when you come to our Columbus office for your teeth whitening procedure:
- Your teeth bleaching dentist will examine and clean your teeth
- We'll photograph your teeth to help us establish your tooth shade and monitor the whitening progress
- We'll insert a cheek retractor to expose your teeth and protect the inside of your cheeks
- We'll apply a protective liquid to your gums
- We'll apply the first of several coats of bleaching gel to your teeth
- We may use a special light to speed the tooth whitening procedure
- We'll continue monitoring the whitening process
- After the final bleaching gel application, your teeth bleaching dentist will determine how many follow-up visits or at-home treatments you'll need to achieve the best results
