337-988-4041 Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure designed to enhance the natural beauty of your smile by removing stains and discoloration from your teeth. At Price & Associates Family Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that are safe, effective and tailored to your needs. Using advanced whitening technology, we can achieve noticeable results in just one visit or provide you with take-home kits for gradual whitening in the comfort of your own home.
Professional teeth whitening works by applying a powerful yet gentle whitening gel to your teeth. This gel targets surface stains and penetrates the enamel to address deeper discoloration, resulting in a brighter and more vibrant smile. Unlike over-the-counter products, our treatments are customized to ensure optimal results while minimizing sensitivity.
If you are unhappy with the color of your teeth, whitening may be an excellent option for you. Common causes of tooth discoloration include:
- Natural aging, which can lead to a duller smile
- Consumption of staining foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine and soda
- Tobacco use, including smoking and chewing
- Inadequate oral hygiene
- Certain medications or medical conditions
- Excessive fluoride exposure during childhood (fluorosis)
During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals to determine the best whitening approach. In-office whitening is ideal for those seeking immediate results, while take-home kits are a convenient choice for individuals who prefer gradual whitening.
A whiter, more radiant smile can do more than improve your appearance; it can also boost your confidence and encourage you to smile more often. Teeth whitening is a straightforward way to enhance your overall look and leave a lasting impression.

FAQ
What is the difference between professional teeth whitening and store-bought products?
Professional teeth whitening treatments are more effective and safer than over-the-counter products. They use high-quality whitening agents that penetrate deeper into the enamel to remove tough stains. Additionally, professional treatments are customized to your specific needs, ensuring consistent and even results, while store-bought products often provide limited whitening and may cause uneven results or sensitivity.
How long do the results of professional teeth whitening last?
The longevity of your results depends on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle choices. On average, professional teeth whitening can last several months to a year. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks, maintaining good oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental cleanings can help extend the brightness of your smile.
Is teeth whitening safe for sensitive teeth?
Yes, teeth whitening can be safe for sensitive teeth when administered professionally. During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your sensitivity and recommend options to minimize discomfort. Some whitening treatments include desensitizing agents or can be adjusted for lower intensity. We prioritize your comfort while achieving noticeable results.
How soon will I see results from teeth whitening?
With in-office whitening, you can see results immediately after your appointment, with your teeth appearing several shades lighter. Take-home whitening kits typically produce noticeable changes within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the frequency of use and the level of staining being treated. Both options deliver lasting brightness.
