Here are some common questions and answers about Tooth Whitening that may help you with your decision:

When should you get your Teeth Whitened?

Whenever you feel like your smile could be whiter and you wish for whiter teeth, you should consider professional teeth whitening. There are some limitations to whitening services but ultimately, just about everyone who wants a whiter smile has options to get that. Please call us at Pettinato Dental Care to discuss.

List of occasions to have tooth whitening done for:

• Weddings

• Reunions

• Anniversaries

• Job Interviews

• Photoshoots

• Travel

• Etc.

What are the benefits of getting your teeth whitened?

The benefits of professional teeth whitening are, quite simply, a whiter, brighter smile. It improves your self-esteem, mood and makes you want to smile more. It is safe and highly effective. 

How are teeth whitened?

We utilize a tooth bleaching process using 2 different methods. Whitening trays that you wear at night or during the day AND an in-office whitening process that we apply directly to your smile during a visit with our dental hygienist.

Is teeth whitening safe? Will it harm my teeth?

Our cosmetic teeth whitening is completely safe. The methods have been tested and used for a long time. It does not harm the enamel of your teeth, in any way. Usually, the most serious side effect is a temporary sensitivity to temperature that returns to normal immediately following the whitening service.

How do I maintain my newly whitened teeth?

Maintaining your new whiter, brighter smile couldn’t be easier. You simply brush & floss your teeth regularly, as you should. And, it’s best to perform a professional whitening boost annually. That is the same process as the initial bleaching but for only a few short nights.
