Pompano Beach Teeth Whitening Dentist

Show off your beautiful smile!

There are three common ways to whiten teeth, and they differ in strength, speed, and how much control you have over the result. Here is how they compare and how to tell which one suits what you’re after.

What is making your teeth look darker?

Not all discoloration behaves the same way under whitening gel.

Surface staining from food, drink, and tobacco sits on the outer enamel, and that responds well to professional gel. Color coming from inside a tooth, often after an old injury or a root canal, is a different situation and usually calls for a different treatment.

Dr. Guerra, your Pompano Beach teeth whitening dentist, checks which of these you are dealing with at the start. That single step is what makes the shade estimate you get here worth something.

The Three Options

In-office professional whitening

The strongest gel available, applied at Lighthouse Dental Care in one appointment with your gums isolated first. Best when you have a date on the calendar.

Custom take-home trays

Trays made from a scan of your own teeth, so gel stays against the enamel instead of washing away. You whiten on your own schedule over roughly 2 weeks and keep the trays afterward for touch-ups. Gentler pace, and you control how far you take the shade.

Drugstore strips and kits

Lower concentration gel on a one-size strip, which is why results tend to be modest and uneven around the edges of teeth. Fine for a small refresh. Less predictable if you have visible dental work, deeper staining, or gums that react to gel sitting where it should not.

How much whiter will my teeth get?

It depends on what is staining them and how long it has been there. It is why our Pompano Beach teeth whitening dentist looks before we quote you a shade.
u

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients notice temporary sensitivity during or after treatment, and it typically settles within a few days. Mention it if your teeth already run sensitive, and we’ll factor that into which option we suggest and how we pace it.
u

Does insurance cover teeth whitening?

Whitening is cosmetic, so most plans do not cover it. Lighthouse Dental Care is in-network with most major dental insurance, and for patients without coverage, the Wellness Program is an annual membership that includes cleanings, exams, x-rays, and 15% off additional procedures. Sunbit financing is available to spread payments out. Call (954) 941-2606 for current pricing.

u

Will whitening work on my crown or veneer?

No. Gel only changes natural tooth structure. If you have visible dental work, whitening the teeth around it can leave a shade mismatch, which is worth planning for. Talk to your Pompano Beach teeth whitening dentist about sequencing before you start.
