Benefits of Teeth Whitening at the Dentist’s Office
Professional teeth whitening with Bison Dentistry is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. The process is closely monitored and utilizes a stronger concentration of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter products, leading to faster and more effective results. Dentists also take care to protect sensitive gums during the whitening process. With proper oral hygiene, the results of professional teeth whitening can last for a long time.
“Teeth whitening under professional supervision allows for safe, controlled, pain-free treatment.”
What to Expect at the Consultation
During the consultation, we will also discuss the patient’s expectations and desired results from the teeth whitening procedure. It is important to have realistic expectations, as some stains and discoloration may be too difficult to remove completely. We will also explain the process of the teeth whitening treatment and any potential risks or side effects.
Overall, the consultation is an opportunity for the patient to ask any questions or express any concerns about our teeth whitening procedure at Bison Dentistry. It is an important step to ensure that the patient is informed and comfortable with the treatment before proceeding.
Teeth Whitening Treatment Length
How long does a teeth whitening treatment take at Bison Dentistry’ dentist office? The length of teeth whitening treatment at the dental office can vary, but it is generally the quickest method to achieve brighter teeth. During a professional teeth whitening appointment, the concentration of bleaching solution is much stronger than other options, allowing patients to achieve up to eight shades of whitening in just a few 30 to 60-minute sessions. Some treatments are also available that can whiten teeth in a single two-hour session. If you are interested in teeth whitening, it is important to contact your dental office for information about the available treatment options and the length of treatment needed. Our dentist office serves Buffalo and the Tonawanda area, and will make sure to fully understand your teeth whitening goals and expectations — providing treatment that addresses your specific concerns..

Who Should Get Teeth Whitening at the Dentist
Professional teeth whitening is a popular and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. Our Teeth whitening services at Bison Dentistry are best for individuals with moderate to severe discoloration and staining, and those with yellow or brown discoloration are ideal candidates for the procedure. However, pregnant and lactating women should not undergo teeth whitening, and individuals with gum disease, worn down enamel, or existing decay should seek treatment for these issues before considering teeth whitening. People with teeth that are gray or purple may not respond well to bleaching, and it is important to speak with a dental professional to determine the best options for your specific needs.

Follow up Care
To help make professional teeth whitening results last longer, it is important to practice good oral hygiene, such as brushing teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash. Avoiding stain-causing substances, like tobacco and certain foods and drinks, can also help maintain the results of a teeth whitening treatment. Using a whitening toothpaste, as recommended by a dentist, and attending regular dental cleanings can also support the longevity of teeth whitening results. If you are interested in touch-up treatments, you can discuss them with your dental team at six-month intervals.
