Teeth Whitening

Are yellow or discolored teeth making you feel self-conscious? Do you have an important event coming up and want to look your best? Professional teeth whitening is a quick, safe, and effective way to dramatically enhance your smile. Dr. Yandresco Quintana offers in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments at his New York, practice.

Why Visit the Dentist for Teeth Whitening?

Professional Care vs. Over-the-Counter Alternatives

When provided by a dental professional, teeth whitening is a safe, quick, and effective cosmetic dentistry procedure that can enhance your smile in just one visit.

Safe

Over-the-counter whitening products can unevenly distribute the whitening agent, which can put you at a higher risk of sensitivity and affect your results. Our experienced dentist knows how much of the whitening agent to use to create your desired results without compromising your oral health.

Quick

Our in-office Philips Zoom!® teeth whitening treatment can whiten your smile by up to eight shades in as little as one hour. Our at-home whitening treatments can brighten your teeth in just 5-10 days. Most over-the-counter whitening products take two weeks or more to see results.

Effective

When performed by a professional dentist, teeth whitening can take years of surface stains and discoloration off your smile. Many patients choose this bleaching treatment before a big event like a wedding because, in a single day, they can achieve a whiter, more youthful-looking smile.

In-Office or At-Home

Which Is the Best Option for You?

We offer two teeth whitening options at our New York practice; Zoom! teeth whitening in our office or Opalescence™ at-home whitening trays. Though both bleaching options are effective at removing years of surface stains, the best option for you will depend on your goals and timeline. Our dentist can review your options during a complimentary consultation.

Opalescence

This whitening option allows patients to brighten their smiles in the comfort of their homes. The whitening system comes in a variety of bleaching concentrations and flavors to suit every need and preference. Dr. Yandresco Quintana will take an impression of your teeth to create custom whitening trays. You can then load your whitening trays with 1/3 to 1/2 of the pre-loaded syringe and secure the tray in your mouth like a retainer. It is possible to see results after one use, but full results can be seen in about one week.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening

The Zoom! teeth whitening system is a prescription-grade bleaching product that can brighten your teeth by up to eight shades in as little as one hour. This in-office treatment is best for patients who wish to whiten their smiles quickly. Dr. Yandresco Quintana will first prepare your teeth for whitening by protecting the gums and soft tissues. Next, he will apply a layer of whitening gel to your teeth. Finally, he will shine a blue LED lamp to activate the gel. These steps will be repeated until your teeth have reached the desired shade.

Correcting Deeper Stains

Through Cosmetic Dentistry

Though teeth whitening only lightens surface stains, our Quintana Smiles practice offers other cosmetic dentistry options like porcelain veneers and dental bonding to address deep, intrinsic stains on a single tooth or several teeth. Contact our practice to find out which solution will meet your needs.
