Teeth Whitening

Over time, it’s normal for teeth to become stained or discolored. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, certain foods, and the natural aging process can all affect the brightness of your smile. Professional teeth whitening offers a safe and effective way to remove many common stains and achieve a noticeably brighter smile.

At All Kind Smiles, we offer professional teeth whitening options for patients in West Allis who want to refresh their smiles and feel more confident about the appearance of their teeth.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Most teeth whitening treatments use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as their active ingredient. These whitening agents penetrate the tooth’s enamel and break down stain-causing molecules, making discoloration less noticeable and your teeth appear brighter.

Professional whitening treatments use carefully selected whitening products and are customized for your smile, helping you achieve more predictable results than many over-the-counter whitening products.

What Types of Stains Can Teeth Whitening Treat?

Professional teeth whitening works particularly well on external, or extrinsic, stains caused by everyday foods, beverages, habits, and aging. These may include:

• Yellowing that occurs naturally with age.
• Staining caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and other dark-colored beverages.
• Discoloration caused by certain foods.
• Tobacco-related staining.
• Some surface staining that has accumulated over time.

Not every type of discoloration responds to traditional teeth whitening. Internal, or intrinsic, discoloration may require a different cosmetic treatment. During your consultation, our team can evaluate your teeth and recommend the treatment that is most appropriate for the type of discoloration you have.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you’re looking for a brighter smile without waiting weeks for results, in-office professional whitening may be a great option.

During treatment, your gums and other soft tissues are carefully protected before professional-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth. The whitening process is closely monitored by our dental team to help you achieve an even, natural-looking result.

The amount of whitening that can be achieved varies from person to person depending on your starting tooth color and the type and severity of staining.

Custom Take-Home Teeth Whitening

For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth gradually and on their own schedule, All Kind Smiles also offers professional take-home whitening.

Custom whitening trays are created to fit comfortably over your teeth and are paired with professional whitening gel. Our team will provide instructions for how and when to wear your trays so you can safely whiten your smile at home.

With consistent use, you’ll gradually notice stains fading and your smile becoming brighter.

Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening

Drugstore whitening strips, toothpastes, and other products can help with some surface staining, but professional whitening provides several advantages.

• Customized treatment – Professional whitening can be tailored to your teeth and your goals.
• More predictable results – Professional-strength whitening products can provide more noticeable results than many over-the-counter options.
• Professional guidance – Our team can evaluate your teeth before treatment to make sure whitening is an appropriate option for you.
• Options that fit your lifestyle – Choose between convenient in-office treatment and custom take-home whitening.
