Custom-Fitted Whitening Trays by Our NYC Cosmetic Dentist

Dr. Lazare and his staff emphasize the use of custom-fitted trays for patient comfort, to minimize side effects, and to offer the best cosmetic result.

Patients can continue the treatment until their teeth have reached their desired shade. Results will vary for each person as some teeth are more resistant to whitening and others very receptive. By maintaining good oral health, most patients find their whitening procedure lasts for two years or longer unless whitening maintenance is performed. Patients who smoke, or drink coffee, tea, or red wine may notice changes sooner, though the return to the pre-whitened shade will be very gradual.

Advanced Teeth Whitening Treatment in NYC

To ensure the health of the teeth, prophylactic treatment may be performed to remove external stains, along with a detailed dental history, which will allow Dr. Lazare to determine if a patient may experience sensitivity during a whitening session. Some patients experience sensitivity during the treatment while others may feel no sensation at all. Most discomforts experienced usually happens after the whitening has been completed. However, all sensitivity is expected to be gone within 24 hours of the procedure.

Other advantages of teeth whitening include safety, the ease of the procedure, and more predictability in the aesthetic outcome. Dr. Lazare can assure excellent results when administering a teeth whitening procedure. Results are instantaneous and he can provide patients with an average of 8-shades whiter teeth using the Philips Zoom In-Office Whitening.

Convenient At-Home Teeth Bleaching Options

Peroxide, in varying strengths, is the primary ingredient in the solutions used for teeth whitening, including over-the-counter strips, at-home tray use, and Dr. Lazare’s in-office treatment. Some patients choose to have their teeth whitened by Dr. Lazare because the tray worn during the home application causes a gag reflex. Others grind or clench their teeth, which prevents proper bleaching.

Two options are available to patients who choose to pursue teeth whitening at home: either custom-fitting trays for day or nightwear.

Comparing Laser Teeth Whitening and Traditional Methods

An analysis of laser whitening showed that it activates bleaching chemicals in the same way as other light sources, and is not superior to any light source that excites the molecules that will effectively lighten the teeth. Some common methods utilize argon lasers, ion plasma lamps, and curling lights, which are aimed at activating the peroxide into a useful bleaching agent. If this is not accomplished, the light just acts as heat to the teeth.

OTC Home Whitening Kits

At-home bleaching from over-the-counter kits has gained recent popularity but can create sensitivity and uneven results due to improperly fitted trays. Crest Whitening Strips are one exception for do-it-yourself teeth whitening, as they are formulated with an effective 5.3% hydrogen peroxide stripe that can be molded to fit the teeth. While the product works relatively well, the strips are clumsy and can create tooth sensitivity and will not bleach teeth beyond the length of the strip. Additionally, certain teeth that have undergone dental work, like composite-colored (tooth-colored) restorations, crowns, and veneers, will not become brighter. Root-canaled teeth will require more whitening attention for external bleaching and may also require a dentist-only internal bleaching solution.

Patient's Testimonials

Why Do Teeth Turn Yellow?

Teeth can turn yellow for a variety of reasons, including:– Aging (years of cumulative stain and the wear of the outer, white enamel layer of the teeth over time)– Heavy consumption foods and beverages that are more likely to stain (including: red wine, dark teas, coffee, vegetable juices, hot chocolate, soy sauce, etc.)– Smoking– Poor oral hygiene (which creates a thick coat of a yellowing plaque or tartar)– Heavy Grinding (which can wear away the enamel to reveal the yellower layer of tooth structure beneath)Please note that the most common cause of this yellowing is due to poor brushing, which builds up this plaque and tartar, which is more likely to hold the stain than the tooth’s enamel. Once the teeth are cleaned, the yellow often disappears. Whitening is only effective for brightening the enamel itself, and will not do anything for teeth that are not properly cleaned.

Can Antibiotics Cause Tooth Discoloration?

Yes. Stained teeth because of antibiotic use (tetracycline-stained teeth) may take longer to be whitened, typically between 1-2 months. Still, Dr. Lazare has experienced success in these patients. Single darkened teeth will lighten over time, and a custom-made night guard for a single tooth to be treated can be made, or if it was a tooth previously treated with root canal therapy, then internal bleaching is suggested with the external bleaching.

Teeth Whitening Cost

The average cost of a teeth whitening treatment in NYC range from $650 to a $1,000 or more, depending on the area in where you live and on the product being applied. Some other treatments, such a laser tooth whitening can be more expensive. Teeth whitening cost can also be financed through several flexible payment plans.

Will White Spots on the Teeth Be Removed Through the Bleaching Process?

No, but they will blend in with the surrounding tooth color to become less noticeable. In certain cases, the white spots may be buffed out through enamel microabrasion techniques or troughed out and restored with a composite material to help blend.

Why Won’t Certain Dental Work Be Lightened by Teeth Whitening?

The majority of the materials used in dental care (including porcelain and composite bonding) will not be affected by the peroxide used to whiten the teeth. Bonding can always be modified to blend with the whitening results and porcelain work may need to be remade to adequately blend. Additionally, teeth with root canals may not be lightened by traditional methods and will require additional intervention treatments, such as internal bleaching.
