Achieve a Brighter, More Confident Smile with Teeth Whitening!

Dreaming of a dazzling, whiter smile? At Dental Partners of Fifth Avenue, located in the heart of the Upper East Side, New York City, we offer professional teeth bleaching and whitening services to effectively lighten stains and discoloration, revealing a brighter, more youthful you. Our experienced dental team is dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and effective teeth whitening treatments tailored to your individual needs and goals.

What is Professional Teeth Bleaching & Whitening?

Professional teeth bleaching, also known as teeth whitening, is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses peroxide-based agents to break down stains and lighten the natural shade of your teeth. These powerful yet safe oxygen-releasing chemicals are carefully applied to your teeth, penetrating the enamel to eliminate discoloration caused by food, beverages, aging, smoking, and certain medications. While over-the-counter whitening products offer some improvement, professional teeth whitening at our Upper East Side dental office provides significantly faster, more noticeable, and longer-lasting results under the expert care of our dental professionals.

Benefits of Teeth Bleaching & Whitening:

Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Achieve a noticeably brighter and more radiant smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
Effective Stain Removal: Eliminate stubborn stains and discoloration that at-home treatments may not fully address.
Safe and Controlled Procedure: Our experienced dental team ensures the whitening process is safe, minimizing the risk of gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.
Faster and More Predictable Results: Experience significant whitening in a shorter timeframe compared to over-the-counter options.
Customized Treatment Options: We offer various teeth whitening solutions to suit your individual needs, lifestyle, and desired level of brightness.
Improved Oral Hygiene Motivation: A whiter smile can often motivate individuals to maintain better oral hygiene habits.

Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Most individuals who have healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for teeth whitening. However, it’s important to have a consultation with our dentists at our Upper East Side office to determine if this treatment is right for you. Ideal candidates typically include those with:

• Yellow or brown stains on their teeth.

• Discoloration caused by food, drinks (coffee, tea, red wine), or smoking.

• A desire for a brighter and more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Teeth whitening may not be as effective on certain types of stains, such as those caused by tetracycline antibiotics or fluorosis. During your consultation, we will assess your individual situation and recommend the most suitable whitening option for you.

How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?

At Dental Partners of Fifth Avenue, we offer several teeth whitening options to cater to your preferences:

In-Office Teeth Whitening (e.g., Zoom! Whitening):

Shade Assessment: We begin by recording the initial shade of your teeth using photographs.
Preparation: Your mouth is carefully isolated using cotton rolls and a protective rubber dam to keep your teeth dry and shield your gums. Retractors are used to comfortably keep your cheeks, lips, and tongue away from the whitening solution.
Whitening Application: A professional-grade whitening gel is applied to the front surfaces of your teeth in a series of three to four 15-minute applications.
Completion: The protective barriers are removed, and a desensitizing solution may be applied to minimize any potential sensitivity. We then take “after” photographs to showcase your immediate results. This entire in-office treatment typically takes about 90 minutes.

At-Home Teeth Whitening:

Custom Tray Creation: We take precise molds of your teeth to create custom-fitted, thin plastic trays for optimal comfort and coverage.
Bleaching Gel and Instructions: You will receive detailed instructions on how to apply the professional-strength bleaching gel into the trays.
Treatment Duration: Most patients wear the trays for two 15-minute sessions each day for one to two weeks.
Maintenance: The custom trays are reusable, and our office can supply you with additional bleaching gel as needed for touch-ups.

Combination Bleaching:

For patients with significant initial discoloration, we may recommend a combination approach. This involves starting with an in-office Zoom! whitening session for rapid initial results, followed by a course of at-home bleaching to further enhance and maintain the brightness.
