Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening, or bleaching, is a simple and non-invasive treatment used to brighten the color of natural tooth enamel, making it an excellent way to enhance your smile’s appearance.

With whiter teeth being a top aesthetic concern for many patients, Drs. Haskin and Goldstine offer various tooth whitening options, with the most popular being a custom take-home whitening system that delivers dramatic results. Since whitening only affects natural tooth enamel, it’s important to assess and possibly replace any old fillings or crowns after treatment to ensure a perfect match with your newly whitened teeth.

Tooth whitening is not a permanent solution, so touch-ups may be needed every few years, especially for patients who smoke or frequently consume coffee, tea, or wine.

Dr. Haskin and Dr. Goldstine offer professional whitening systems that use bleaching agents to break down stains on the surface of your teeth. This process lightens the color of your natural enamel, giving you a noticeably whiter smile. The take-home whitening kits provide significant results within just a few weeks.

Yes, tooth whitening is safe when performed under the guidance of Dr. Haskin and Dr. Goldstine. They ensure the treatment is customized to your needs and monitor your progress to prevent any sensitivity or damage to your teeth and gums.

The results from tooth whitening can last for several years, but they are not permanent. Dr. Haskin and Dr. Goldstine recommend touch-ups every few years, especially if you consume stain-causing beverages like coffee, tea, or wine, or if you smoke.
