BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING FROM YOUR FRAMINGHAM DENTIST

  • Customized

    Over-the-counter whitening products are one-size-fits-all, and unfortunately that size does not always fit your unique oral health needs. In-office teeth whitening is customized to target the deep-down discoloration and truly break apart the stain molecules, not just slough off surface stains.

  • Fast

    In-office teeth whitening can remove years of stains in about one hour or less. You can whiten your teeth in time for the job interview, date, meeting, photo shoot, or special event.

  • Convenient

    Prefer to whiten your teeth in private? Request customized whitening trays that are fitted precisely to your teeth for at-home whitening using professional bleaching gels.

  • Flexible

    You and your Framingham dentist will find the best formula for your teeth whitening. It may be a combination of in-office whitening and at-home fine-tuning for maximum benefits.

  • Controlled

    Professional gel whitening formulas used by your dentist are quality controlled for safety, consistency, and strength. They contain powerful bleaching products that truly whiten teeth.

  • Comfortable

    Teeth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity, but if you’re working with your dentist to whiten your teeth, you will benefit from specific strategies like a customized product and method so you have a comfortable and safe whitening experience.

  • Long-Lasting Results

    Buying a box of teeth whitening strips every month or two will add up in cost and effort. One session with your Framingham cosmetic dentist can deliver instant results that are far more effective. Plus, if you opt for customized whitening trays, this system will last for a long time. Pick up a simple refill syringe of gel from your dentist whenever you need it to keep your white smile going strong for years.

ARE YOU A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR TEETH WHITENING?

Many people qualify for professional teeth whitening, but there are some facts to know beforehand:

Perfection is Not Required

Your teeth do not have to be perfect to qualify for or benefit from a professional teeth-whitening treatment. In fact, teeth whitening is so powerful and effective, the results of this treatment can create the illusion of a flawless smile.


Description Title

Teeth work hard every day. Over years of use, they absorb and cling to the remnants of coffee, soda, wine, chocolate, tobacco, and other dark foods and beverages. These stains can usually be removed. However, if you have antibiotic staining or discolored teeth from an injury, age, or simple DNA, whitening will not be an option. But there is always a cosmetic dentistry solution – in cases like these, you can talk to your dentist about porcelain veneers, crowns, dental bonding, and more.

Expect The Works:

You will undergo an examination of your oral health before you can pursue any smile makeover options. It is important for teeth and gums to be in good health so you can get the maximum benefit from teeth whitening.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Teeth Whitening Safe and Effective?

    Yes — teeth whitening is safe and effective when done under a dentist’s supervision. But it’s important to understand that not everyone is a candidate for whitening right away.

  • When Whitening Is Safe:

    Whitening should only be done on healthy teeth and gums.

    If you have gum disease, cavities, or dental infections, whitening can:

    - Cause severe sensitivity or pain

    - Lead to poor or uneven results

    - Worsen existing dental problems


    Before we whiten your teeth, we always do a full exam and screening to make sure it’s safe and worth your investment.

  • Over-The-Counter Whitening: Is It Worth It?

    OTC products like strips or gels can sometimes work, but results vary.

    Personally, I don’t recommend them, but I always tell my patients — “You can try it and see how it goes.”


    However, most patients report:

    - Increased tooth sensitivity

    - Minimal or short-lived results

    - Uneven whitening


    If you want consistent, longer-lasting whitening, professional treatments are best.

  • Our Whitening Options at Atlantis Dental:

    - Lightens teeth by several shades

    - Takes 2 hours

    - Can cause mild sensitivity

    We often pair this with prescription-strength desensitizing toothpaste to minimize discomfort

  • Which Whitening Option Is Right for Me?

    Dr. Naqvi will help you decide based on:

    - How dark your teeth are

    - How white you want them

    - Whether you have recession or sensitivity

    - Whether you’ve had fillings or dental work on front teeth

  • Will I Need to Replace My Fillings After Whitening?

    If your front teeth have older fillings, you may need to update them.

    But if your fillings were done at Atlantis Dental by Dr. Naqvi using her preferred material, they’ll likely match beautifully even after whitening.

    These superior materials adapt to your natural tooth shade and age well over time.

  • How Often Should I Whiten My Teeth?

    It depends on your diet and habits. People who drink coffee, red wine, soda, or eat colorful foods (like turmeric or curry) may need to whiten once a year or more. Others may go longer.

  • Why Whiten Your Teeth?

    A whiter smile can:

    - Boost your confidence

    - Look great on Zoom or in public speaking

    - Help you feel more polished and professional
