Professional Teeth Whitening: Why It Matters!
There’s no shortage of teeth whitening products and techniques on the market today, but none match the dazzling results of professional teeth whitening from the hands of a skilled teeth bleaching dentist. Dr. Jamaine Ifedi from Empire Dental Group is your go-to dentist for teeth whitening in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. When considering the health and beauty of your smile, you can never underestimate the importance of the professional touch.Â
Here are some questions we’re often asked about our teeth whitening treatments:
How does teeth whitening work?
If you’re an avid smoker or love your coffee, red wine, or tea, you may be dealing with the aftermath of stained or discolored teeth. Plaque and tartar buildup can also tarnish your smile, leaving it looking dull and dingy. Teeth whitening makes use of peroxide-based gels to break down stain molecules that have gathered on the enamel and dentin of your teeth to give your teeth a whiter, brighter appearance.Â
How long does it take to whiten stained teeth?
In-office teeth whitening procedures yield same-day results, allowing you to leave our clinic with pearly whites that gleam! Depending on the state of your teeth, your treatment may last 60 – 90 minutes. At-home whitening treatments whiten teeth gradually, over a period of several weeks. They entail the use of high-grade whitening agents and customized whitening trays to brighten your smile. Dr. Ifedi will plan and monitor your treatment to help you get the most from your procedure. Â
Why should I choose professional teeth whitening?
When you work with an experienced teeth bleaching dentist, you can expect optimal whitening results. Dr. Ifedi and our team use professional-grade whitening products and modern whitening techniques to brighten your smile safely and effectively. We’ll tailor your treatment to your specific dental needs to give you the best possible results with minimal risks to your gums or teeth.  Â

How do I prepare for teeth whitening treatment?
If you have sensitive teeth, we recommend you use a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth for a week or two before your whitening treatment, as this can reduce sensitivity during and after your whitening procedure. You should also schedule a dental cleaning right before your in-office whitening procedure to remove plaque and tartar that can impair the results of your treatment.
How long do the results of professional teeth whitening last?
Your whitening results can last up to a year if you take good care of your teeth. Good oral care includes brushing twice daily, flossing daily, eating healthy food, avoiding smoking, avoiding stain-causing food and beverages, and seeing your dentist twice a year for dental cleanings. You can use our custom take-home whitening kit to touch up your smile as needed, to keep your smile looking bold and bright long-term.
