A whiter smile can take years off your appearance. Research shows a brighter smile makes you look more youthful and approachable. According to a survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 99.7 percent of adults believe the appearance of your smile is a beneficial social tool. If a whiter smile is on your wishlist, professional treatment is the safest, fastest path. Willoughby Dental offers professional teeth whitening in Brooklyn NY using a state-of-the-art sapphire crystal whitening system that brightens your smile up to 7 shades in only 30 minutes.

Professional Teeth Whitening in Brooklyn NY

In-office whitening with Dr. Trachtenberg, DMD uses fluoride-infused technology that brightens teeth quickly and protects enamel.

Will You Benefit from Professional Whitening?

Daily brushing and flossing keep your smile healthy, but even great hygiene cannot prevent natural yellowing over time. Coffee, tea, wine, and other staining drinks gradually dull your enamel, and tobacco use accelerates the change. Professional whitening can brighten your teeth up to 7 shades and lift even deep-set stains, restoring the smile you used to have.

The Teeth Whitening Process

The first step is a thorough cleaning to remove debris from the surface and between your teeth. A pre-exam may follow to confirm your teeth are healthy enough to whiten. Photos are often taken to track results before and after the treatment. Today’s whitening procedures are pain-free and gentler on teeth, gums, and mouth than they have ever been.

Professional vs At-Home Whitening Kits

Want a brighter smile but worried about the cost? Before reaching for an at-home whitening kit, consider the trade-offs. While many kits are affordable, they can strip away enamel, the protective top layer your teeth need to stay strong and cavity-free. They also rarely match the results of in-office whitening, especially for deeper or older stains. In many cases, professional whitening is more cost-effective because the results are stronger and the risk to enamel is lower.

When Whitening May Not Work

Professional whitening can transform even the yellowest smiles, but some stains do not respond to bleaching. These cases include:

  • Trauma that has darkened the dentin
  • Inorganic stains
  • Overexposure to fluoride
  • Tetracycline antibiotics taken during the formation of teeth

If whitening is not the right answer for you, Dr. Trachtenberg will work with you one on one to find the dental solution that improves both the look and health of your teeth.
