What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening, also known as dental bleaching, is a safe, non-invasive cosmetic treatment that removes surface stains and internal discoloration from your teeth. Over time, things like coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, and aging can darken your enamel.
At Dentistry on Monroe, we use dentist-supervised whitening systems with professional-strength gels that penetrate stains more effectively than store-bought kits. You’ll see visible results faster, and with less risk of sensitivity or uneven whitening.
What Teeth Whitening Treatments Are Available at Dentistry on Monroe?
We offer two main types of cosmetic dental whitening in Charlotte:
- Custom take-home trays: Designed specifically for your bite, these trays let you whiten gradually at home with a professional-grade gel.
- KOR Whitening: The ultimate in whitening treatments, this pairs the previously popular “in-office whitening” concept with a deeply penetrating home bleaching protocol.
If you’ve experienced sensitivity in the past, we have options to minimize discomfort and protect your enamel. Dr. Turner will recommend the right solution based on your smile goals and dental health.
How Long Does Professional Teeth Whitening Last?
Most patients enjoy their professional teeth whitening results for 6 to 12 months. How long your results last depends on:
- Your brushing and flossing habits
- Diet (especially dark foods or drinks)
- Whether you smoke or use tobacco products
To keep your smile looking its best, we offer touch-up whitening kits and personalized maintenance plans.
How Often Should I Whiten My Teeth With a Dentist?
A general rule is to whiten your teeth once or twice per year, but this varies based on:
- Your lifestyle and diet
- The type of whitening treatment used
- Tooth sensitivity or enamel condition
Dr. Turner will work with you to determine an ideal whitening frequency that maintains your results without over-treating your teeth.
What Are The Differences Between Teeth Whitening Methods?
There are several ways to whiten your teeth, but they’re not all created equal.
Take-home whitening trays use professional-strength gel and are custom-fitted to your teeth for better coverage and comfort. While results appear more gradually over one to two weeks, many patients love the convenience of whitening on their own schedule.
Over-the-counter kits, on the other hand, use lower-strength gel and generic, one-size-fits-all trays. These can produce uneven results and increase the risk of gum irritation or tooth sensitivity due to poor fit and lack of supervision.
KOR Whitening is designed to deliver the maximum bleaching effect possible, by combining in-office treatments with a highly effective at-home protocol.
In short, professional teeth whitening, whether done in-office or at home, is safer, more effective, and fully customized to your smile. Dr. Turner will help you choose the right method based on your lifestyle and goals.
Can I Get Teeth Whitening if I Have Sensitive Teeth?
Yes! At Dentistry on Monroe, we offer sensitive teeth whitening solutions designed to minimize discomfort. We may recommend
- Desensitizing gels before or after treatment
- Custom take-home trays for slower, more comfortable results
- Shortened whitening sessions in-office
Our conservative approach ensures you get noticeable results without compromising your enamel.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe for Teenagers or Younger Patients?
In most cases, we recommend teeth whitening for patients aged 16 and older, once permanent teeth are fully developed. If your teen is interested in whitening, Dr. Turner will evaluate their enamel and oral health to determine whether it’s appropriate. Safety and supervision always come first.
Can I Whiten Crowns or Veneers?
No, whitening products only work on natural teeth. If you have crowns, veneers, or tooth-colored fillings, they will not respond to bleaching.
We offer two options:
- Whiten natural teeth to match existing restorations
- Replace older restorations for a consistent shade
Schedule a consultation to explore which approach will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Foods or Drinks Should I Avoid After Whitening My Teeth?
To protect your results, we recommend avoiding the following for 24–48 hours after whitening:
- Coffee, tea, red wine
- Berries, tomato sauce, soy sauce
- Soda and colored sports drinks
- Smoking or tobacco use
Stick to a “white diet” with foods like:
- Chicken, white fish, rice
- Milk, bananas, eggs, plain pasta
This helps lock in your results and prevent early staining.
How Much Does Professional Teeth Whitening Cost in Charlotte, NC?
At Dentistry on Monroe, cost depends on the method and number of treatments needed. We provide transparent pricing and flexible payment options, so there are no surprises. During your consultation, Dr. Turner will walk you through your options and expected costs.
