Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Since professional whitening treatments can lift stains from frequent coffee consumption, the natural aging process, and even tobacco use, the vast majority of patients are candidates! So, if you aren’t happy with your smile because your pearly whites aren’t quite living up to their name, don’t hesitate to reach out to our cosmetic dentist. From there, we can complete a comprehensive oral exam, learn more about your smile goals, and determine if teeth whitening is the best option for you.

Our team at Ellicott City Smiles is proud to offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. If you aren’t sure which one is ideal for you, don’t worry – we will help you decide at your consultation. You can also read on to learn more about the benefits of each!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Of course, one of the biggest benefits is in the name: you can whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home! If we decide that this is the best option for you, then we will provide you with everything you need, including the application trays and professional-grade whitening gel. We’ll also give you detailed instructions on how often to use them so that you get the gorgeous results you desire.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office treatments are extremely popular because they deliver results in just about an hour. In fact, we can sometimes lighten teeth up to eight shades in a single visit! So, if you have a vacation, a wedding, or another important event that you want a bright, beautiful smile for, this might be the ideal solution for you.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Of course, the last thing you want is for pigmented, yellow stains to resurface. Fortunately, there are several ways you can prevent that from happening, including:
- Brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently
- Using a straw when drinking coffee, red wine, soda, and the like
- Eating light-colored foods, like white fish, cottage cheese, and plain yogurt
- Getting touch-up whitening treatments as needed
- Scheduling a dental cleaning every six months
