Teeth Whitening Q&A

What is professional teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening at U & I Smile is a cosmetic dental treatment that gives you lighter, brighter teeth. It uses safe, dentist-approved bleaching agents and works faster than over-the-counter whitening products to provide you with more consistent results without enamel damage or pain from necessary sensitivity.

Dr. Liu listens carefully to your needs and goals. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or want a dramatically brighter smile, you can expect personalized care.

Why do teeth need whitening over time?

Your teeth work hard for you, and can eventually take on a stained appearance from:

Regular consumption of red wine, coffee, tea, or dark-hued foods
Smoking and tobacco use
Certain medications, such as tetracycline
Aging, which thins the enamel and exposes the darker dentin underneath
Poor dental hygiene or plaque accumulation

Even with good dental care, some wear-and-tear is natural and may show in your smile. The team tailors your professional whitening treatments around your teeth, adapting them to whatever has dulled them and restoring their freshness.

How does teeth whitening work?

When you come in for your whitening treatment at U & I Smile, you can relax while Dr. Liu applies a specially formulated whitening gel to your teeth. The gel gently breaks down stains and brightens your enamel so you can immediately see a lighter smile.

Typically, a whitening treatment takes about an hour, and the team can schedule you for follow-up appointments to maintain your results. Professional treatments can quickly brighten your teeth by several shades, so they’re ideal for event preparation.

If you’d rather have more gradual results or want to combine at-home convenience with medical-grade effectiveness, Dr. Liu may recommend customized whitening kits. The team can create personalized trays that fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even coverage with the special whitening gel.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Good dental hygiene extends the longevity of your whitening treatments, so be sure to brush, floss, and schedule routine dental cleanings. You can also avoid staining foods and beverages, rinse after meals, and use a straw for dark drinks.

With care, you can enjoy a brighter smile for six months to two years before you need a touch-up treatment.
