Teeth Whitening | Gladnick Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

When you smile at yourself in the mirror, are you happy with what reflects back? Do you love your teeth, or do you find them yellow and dull? It’s not uncommon to have discolored or stained teeth as we age. Often the foods we love can be staining or acidic, even the coffee we enjoy in the mornings, or glass of wine in the evenings, can have a devastating effect on our smile.

Luckily for our patients in Rockville, MD, it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to upgrade your smile and improve your appearance in just one dentist visit. Professional teeth whitening is a quick and popular cosmetic treatment that can give your confidence the boost you need to smile more and know you look your best. 

Why Does Your Smile Fade?

Even if you brush and floss regularly, sometimes your smile’s brightness can dull over time. Other factors that contribute to stained teeth include poor oral hygiene and smoking. Enamel is porous and can stain easily, so it’s essential to take care of what you eat or drink. 

Why Professional Teeth Whitening can Help You

Teeth whitening can make your teeth and smile appear healthy and beautiful, and many times, this procedure can melt years off your appearance! Teeth whitening works by removing stains in just one dentist visit. At Gladnick Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer two whitening service options.

In-Office Treatments

We are proud to offer Zoom! Whitening, which can whiten your teeth considerably in less than 30 minutes. Call our dental office if you need a smile boost, or want to look your best for a special occasion. 

At-Home Treatments

Our dentist will make customized bleaching trays that are fitted just for your smile. You can place the whitening gel into the tray and keep it in your mouth for the length of time prescribed in the convenience and comfort of your home. 

Why You Should Consider Teeth Whitening

First impressions are essential professionally and socially, and unfortunately, you can’t make a first impression twice. Often people associate yellowed or brown teeth with poor oral hygiene or bad breath, which may not be what you’re going for if you’re interviewing for a new position or going on a first date. Everyone wants beautiful, sparkling, white teeth—and it’s not hard to get! A quick visit to your dental office in Rockville, MD, can provide you with improved confidence and appearance.

Handling Sensitivity From Teeth Whitening
Close up of patient's smile after teeth whitening in Rockville, MD

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?

How Whitening Works

Tooth whitening works because whitening agents, usually a type of peroxide, pull stains from teeth by binding with the stain.

While we aren't certain why whitening causes sensitivity in teeth, the working hypothesis is that the cleaning also opens up tunnel-like pathways meant for detecting temperature change. 

Once these pathways open up, they are hyper receptive to signals, mostly change in temperature, causing sensitivity when patients breathe in ...
