Remove Stains and Brighten Your Smile
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that brightens your smile by removing stains and discoloration from your teeth. Dr. Driscoll uses advanced, professional-grade whitening techniques to safely and effectively restore your teeth’s natural brilliance. This treatment targets common stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or aging. Whether through in-office treatments for immediate results or customized at-home kits, teeth whitening is a quick, non-invasive way to enhance your smile and boost your confidence.
Reasons to Consider Teeth Whitening:
- You feel self-conscious about stained or yellowed teeth
- You want to remove discoloration from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking
- You have an upcoming special occasion, like a wedding or job interview
- You want to reverse the effects of aging on your smile
- You want a brighter, more radiant smile for everyday confidence
- You’ve noticed your smile looks dull in photos or videos
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening uses active ingredients, like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to break down stains on the enamel and dentin layers of teeth. These peroxide agents release oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel, breaking apart stain compounds caused by foods, drinks, smoking, or aging.
Dr. Driscoll uses professional-grade whitening systems that are carefully controlled to ensure safety. This process brightens teeth without damaging their structure, leaving you with a noticeably whiter smile in as little as one treatment.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening:
- Enhances your smile’s appearance by removing stains and discoloration
- Boosts your confidence with a brighter, more attractive smile
- Provides noticeable results in just a single treatment
- Non-invasive and painless cosmetic solution
- Improves the overall brightness of your teeth without altering their structure
- Complements other dental treatments, such as veneers or crowns

Your Teeth Whitening Experience
During your teeth whitening session, Dr. Driscoll begins by assessing your teeth and gums to ensure they’re healthy and ready for whitening. A protective barrier is applied to shield your gums, and a professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth. The gel’s active ingredients break down stains, while a special light may be used to accelerate the process. In just about an hour, you’ll notice a dramatically brighter smile.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
The results of teeth whitening can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on your habits. Avoiding staining foods and drinks, practicing good oral hygiene, and attending regular dental cleanings can help maintain your bright smile for longer.
Will Teeth Whitening Work on All Types of Stains?
Teeth whitening is highly effective for surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and smoking. However, intrinsic stains, such as those caused by medication or injury, may not respond as well and could require alternative treatments like veneers or bonding.
Does Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. This is normal and subsides within a few days. Dr. Driscoll can customize your treatment to reduce sensitivity and recommend desensitizing products if needed.
