Professional Teeth Whitening – Achieve a Whiter, Brighter Smile at Lakeside Dental Arts

One of the most common cosmetic concerns we hear at Lakeside Dental Arts is: “How can I whiten my teeth?” If you are looking to improve the brightness of your smile, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions that are safe, effective, and tailored to your individual needs.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Many factors can affect the color of your teeth, including:

  • Foods and beverages (coffee, tea, wine)
  • Tobacco use
  • Aging
  • Certain medications
  • Injury or trauma to the tooth

It is a common misconception that tooth discoloration is always due to surface stains. The cause can be deeper—so understanding what is behind the discoloration is key to selecting the right whitening treatment.

How Teeth Whitening Works

Teeth whitening products contain bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that work by breaking down stains into smaller, less visible particles. This creates a visibly brighter, whiter smile. However, whitening treatments do not work on all types of discoloration—especially in cases involving crowns, veneers, fillings, or stains caused by medications or trauma.
That is why it is essential to consult your dentist before starting any whitening treatment. Our team will help you choose the safest and most effective method for your unique smile.

Whitening Options, We Offer

At Lakeside Dental Arts, we provide several teeth whitening options, including:

  • In-office laser teeth whitening – Delivers immediate, dramatic results in just one visit.
  • Custom tray whitening systems – A take-home option that typically whitens teeth within 5–7 days.
  • Whitening toothpastes – Helpful for maintaining results between professional treatments.

We will help you determine which whitening solution best fits your needs, goals, and sensitivity concerns.

Preparing for Whitening

To ensure the best results, it is important to have your teeth professionally cleaned before undergoing any whitening procedure. This removes surface buildup and allows the whitening agents to work more effectively. If you are prone to sensitivity, we offer solutions designed to minimize discomfort during and after treatment.
