Why Are My Teeth Stained?
We are all born with a pearly white smile. However, over time, our teeth can lose their natural brightness. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as:
- Eating heavily pigmented foods, or foods that contain tannins
- Drinking dark-colored liquids, such as tea or coffee
- Poor oral hygiene causing the build-up of stains and plaque
- Certain health conditions
- The aging process

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Do you want a brighter, whiter smile? To accomplish your goals, just schedule a consultation with our experienced dental team. We will perform a thorough examination of your teeth to determine the degree of bleaching required. Once our team recommends the correct treatment, this is what to expect during your teeth whitening procedure:
- Once you are relaxed in your treatment chair, our dentist will prepare your teeth to receive the peroxide-based whitening gel.
- We will apply a protective gel, rubber sheath, or both to your gums prior to your treatment. This will prevent any irritation from the peroxide bleaching agents in the gel.
- Our dentist will apply the whitening gel to your teeth and activate it using a special light tool. Your appointment will last between 30-60 minutes. In that time, the peroxide-based bleaching treatment will penetrate your enamel to blast away stains.

Are At-home Teeth Whitening Products Worth It?
There are a variety of over-the-counter bleaching products available to patients who want to brighten their smiles. These treatments include whitening strips, toothpastes, mouthrinses, and take-home bleaching kits. However, the bleaching solution in at-home treatments contains less peroxide, the active ingredient in teeth whitening systems. This can result in inconsistent whitening with weaker effects.
For dramatic, long-lasting bleaching, you can trust Woodway Family Dental!
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
The costs of your teeth whitening procedure will depend on the treatment option you choose, as recommended by our dental team. No matter the type of care you need, we offer our services at fair, affordable, and accessible prices.
