Do you have dull or yellow-stained teeth? Are you tired of hiding your smile in photos or during social events? With professional teeth whitening at Rockville, MD, Dr. Gladnick can remove stains and brighten your teeth in as little as one dental appointment. 

Professional teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to give your smile an instant refresher. With teeth whitening, you can erase years of spots, stains, and blemishes. Gladnick Family and Cosmetic Dentistry offers both in-office and customized take-home whitening options. 

Here are five main benefits of professional teeth whitening in Rockville, MD. 

#1 Customized Treatment 

Dr. Gladnick customizes each treatment based on your needs and smile goals. Whether you need coffee stains removed or you require internal tooth bleaching, we can do it all! We also take impressions of your mouth to ensure your take-home whitening trays fit comfortably and don’t slide around. 

#2 Eliminates Years of Stains 

Our in-office and at-home teeth whitening options are effective and reliable. Dr. Gladnick uses advanced whitening techniques and internal tooth bleaching to revive your smile, lift hard stains, and whiten teeth from the inside out. With Dr. Gladnick’s help, many patients achieve smiles that are several shades brighter! 

#3 Reduces the Risk of Sensitivity 

For in-office treatment, Dr. Gladnick covers and protects your teeth and gums, so the bleaching gel doesn’t irritate your mouth. After the treatment, we apply a fluoride treatment to reduce any potential sensitivity. Also, our take-home kits are custom-made to fit your mouth, so they don’t slip and slide around, causing irritation or sensitivity. 

#4 Boosts Your Self-Esteem 

Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you, and when you have a smile you love, you are more likely to show it off. An attractive and dazzling smile can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more comfortable smiling, laughing, speaking, and meeting new people. 

#5 Convenient and Easy

If you have a busy schedule or an upcoming event, like a wedding or class reunion, in-office whitening may be the treatment for you. In-office whitening is quick and easy, and we use a high-strength bleaching gel and a special light to speed up the process. 

Our take-home kits are ideal for patients who want to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own homes. We take impressions of your teeth, fabricate the whitening trays, and provide detailed instructions on proper use. Take-home whitening kits are also perfect for last-minute touch-ups! 

If you would like to schedule your teeth whitening consultation, please contact us today. 

We are excited to make your smile sparkle!

For many patients, sensitivity is a common side effect of most whitening procedures, but why does it happen, and is there anything a patient can do to reduce the sensitivity their teeth feel after a professional whitening treatment?
