Teeth Whitening in Elkhorn, NE

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Unlike over-the-counter strips and toothpaste, professional whitening delivers more consistent, longer-lasting results. Under the supervision of a dentist, the whitening process is safer, more effective, and tailored to your unique enamel, shade, and sensitivity level.

Benefits of professional whitening include:

• Faster, more noticeable results
• Reduced risk of tooth or gum sensitivity
• Even whitening across all visible teeth
• Safe for enamel when administered properly
• Personalized treatment options (in-office or take-home)

We’ll help you choose the best whitening method based on your timeline, budget, and oral health.

Causes of Tooth Discoloration

Tooth staining and yellowing can happen for many reasons, including:

• Consumption of coffee, tea, soda, or red wine
• Smoking or tobacco use
• Aging and enamel thinning
• Certain medications
• Genetics
• Poor oral hygiene

If you’ve had prior dental work like fillings, crowns, or veneers, we’ll evaluate how whitening may affect your results, as restorative materials won’t respond to bleaching the same way natural teeth do.

Our Teeth Whitening Options

At Mizner Family Dental, we offer two professional whitening options:

1. In-Office Whitening

If you’re looking for fast results — for an upcoming wedding, interview, or event — in-office whitening provides a dramatic improvement in just one visit. We apply a professional-grade whitening gel and carefully monitor the process to ensure comfort and safety.

This option is ideal if you want immediate results or have moderate to severe staining.

2. Custom Take-Home Whitening

Prefer to whiten your teeth gradually on your own time? We offer custom-fitted trays and professional-strength whitening gel you can use at home. This method allows for flexible scheduling and touch-ups as needed.

Our team will show you exactly how to use the trays, how long to wear them, and what results to expect. It's a great option for patients with sensitive teeth or busy routines.

What to Expect from Treatment

Your whitening experience begins with a consultation to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and determine which approach is best for you.

From there, we will:

1. Perform a thorough dental cleaning to remove surface buildup
2. Take before-and-after photos to track results
3. Provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions to maintain your brighter smile

With proper care — including good hygiene, routine cleanings, and touch-ups — your results can last for many months.

Who Is a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Professional whitening is best for patients with:

• Surface or extrinsic stains from food, drink, or tobacco
• Good oral health with no active decay or gum disease
• Realistic expectations about shade improvement

If you have internal discoloration, deep staining from medications, or prior restorations, we may recommend alternative treatments such as veneers or a full smile makeover.

Caring for Your Smile After Whitening

To keep your teeth looking bright after treatment:

• Avoid staining foods and drinks for 24–48 hours post-whitening
• Drink dark liquids through a straw when possible
• Brush and floss consistently
• Use a whitening toothpaste for maintenance
• Keep up with your routine exams

Our team is happy to schedule periodic touch-ups or provide additional whitening gel for your take-home trays.
