Teeth Whitening in Long Island, NY

Brighten your smile with professional teeth whitening treatments that safely remove stains for a noticeably whiter, more confident smile.

Unlock Your Brightest Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening on Long Island

Over time, stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and simple aging can leave your smile looking dull and discolored. While over-the-counter whitening products promise results, they often lead to frustration and sensitivity. At Meadowbrook Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions for our Long Island patients that are safe, effective, and deliver the dramatically brighter, more confident smile you desire. It is one of the fastest and most impactful ways to enhance your appearance.

The Professional Difference: Safer, Faster, and More Effective

Choosing to whiten your teeth with a dental professional is a decision to prioritize your health and your results. Unlike generic drugstore kits, professional whitening offers:

Increased Safety: Before we begin, we conduct an exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and that you are a good candidate for whitening. We use protective barriers to shield your gums from the powerful whitening agents, minimizing irritation.
Superior Strength: We have access to professional-grade, high-concentration whitening gels that are far more effective at breaking down deep stains than anything available over-the-counter.
Predictable, Dramatic Results: Under professional supervision, we can help you achieve a smile that is several shades whiter, with more consistent and reliable results than DIY methods.

Your Professional Whitening Options on Long Island

We offer two excellent options to fit your lifestyle, budget, and desired speed of results.

In-Office Professional Whitening: Best for: The fastest, most dramatic results, perfect for an upcoming special event like a wedding or reunion. How it works: This procedure is completed in a single, comfortable visit lasting about an hour. We first protect your lips and gums, then apply a powerful whitening gel to your teeth. This gel is often activated by a special, gentle light to accelerate the whitening process. You will leave our office with a smile that is noticeably and brilliantly whiter.
Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays: Best for: Achieving professional results gradually, in the comfort and convenience of your own home. How it works: We take a precise digital scan or impression of your teeth to create a set of custom-fitted whitening trays. This custom fit is the key; it ensures the professional-strength whitening gel is applied evenly to your teeth and kept away from your sensitive gums. You will wear the trays with the provided gel for a specified amount of time each day, achieving your dazzling new smile in about one to two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How is professional teeth whitening different from drugstore kits? There are two main differences: strength and supervision. Professional-grade gels are significantly stronger and more effective. More importantly, the process is supervised by a dental professional who ensures your gums are protected and can customize the treatment to minimize sensitivity, making it both safer and more effective. Custom-fitted trays also prevent the uneven results and gum irritation common with one-size-fits-all strips.

2. Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive? Tooth sensitivity is a possible side effect of any whitening procedure, but it is temporary. Because we use professional systems with built-in desensitizing agents and protect your gums properly, sensitivity is greatly minimized. We can also provide you with special toothpaste to use before and after treatment to ensure your comfort.

3. How long do the results of professional whitening last? The longevity of your results depends on your diet and lifestyle habits. If you frequently consume staining foods and drinks, the brightness may fade more quickly. However, with good oral hygiene, results can last for a year or more. Your custom take-home trays are perfect for easy, affordable touch-ups whenever you feel your smile needs a boost.

4. Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening? Most patients with healthy teeth and gums are excellent candidates. However, whitening agents do not work on dental restorations like crowns, fillings, or veneers. If you have restorations on your front teeth, we can discuss other cosmetic options. It's also important to treat any cavities or gum disease before beginning a whitening treatment.

5. Is professional teeth whitening safe for my enamel? Yes. Numerous studies have confirmed that professional teeth whitening, when performed under the supervision of a dental professional, is completely safe for your tooth enamel and will not damage your teeth.
