Whiten Your Teeth For a Glistening Smile in Leesburg, VA

We Change Lives By Creating Beautiful Smiles

Choose Us For Professional Teeth Whitening

No one likes having discolored or even yellow teeth. Having a bright, white smile helps with confidence, self-esteem, and overall appearance. If you have teeth that are yellow or discolored, you may be wondering what options are available. One popular and effective option is professional teeth whitening.

Drs. Tracey Nguyen and Steven Frames, along with the team at Lansdowne Dental Care, offer teeth whitening treatments tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients. We don’t want you to feel less confident in your smile simply because it’s a bit dull. We can repair this issue in as little as one appointment to help boost your confidence and get you smiling again!

Dr. Nguyen offers a variety of professional whitening systems to enhance the beauty of your smile, give you more confidence, and even complete a general or restorative dentistry treatment. Professional tooth whitening is a simple and painless way to rejuvenate your smile and give you a more youthful appearance. Yellow teeth typically happen over time, whether it’s from drinking too many staining liquids like coffee, tea, or wine! However, in a normal aging process, teeth will start to lose their luster with age. Therefore, older people typically won’t have the whitest of smiles! A professional tooth whitening session can take years off your smile and overall look of your face simply by taking away a few years from your teeth.

Over-The-Counter Whitening

It can be challenging to try and avoid the tooth-whitening toothpaste that promises to make your teeth many shades lighter than what they are! The whitening strips that offer accessibility and affordability can also be tempting, as they seem like they would be a great option. If you are a patient who has tried most of these over-the-counter whitening treatment options, then perhaps you know that these treatments don’t give you the shade of white you may be craving! Only a professional whitening treatment can give you the shade of white you’ve been dreaming of.

Although a professional teeth whitening session may be a bit more expensive, it will give you the real results you want and will last longer than any other form of treatment! In the end, a professional whitening session is a better investment for your teeth, as you will likely re-purchase dental whitening strips many times to maintain a partial shade brighter than your usual shade. The expenses will add up, and you will end up spending more on strips for a half shade brighter than on a professional session that can get you six shades brighter!

While we don’t discourage the use of “whitening toothpaste,” we do want our patients to understand that using this over-the-counter method alone will not give them the results they want. If you want an extreme smile transformation, over-the-counter pastes and strips can never reach that level of quality.

Things to Consider

Before we look at the different teeth whitening options available at Lansdowne Dental Care, let’s first consider who is a good candidate, why you might need treatment, and how to make your results last! Many patients benefit from teeth whitening from Drs. Tracey Nguyen, Steven Frames, and the LDC team, because they have habits that cause staining. Patients who smoke regularly, drink lots of staining beverages (coffee, tea, and sugary colas are among the biggest causes of tooth discoloration), consume sugary diets, or have inadequate oral hygiene can experience the most discoloration. And as mentioned above, even those patients who are just victims of old age can be candidates for a professional teeth whitening session.

When a patient has a consultation about their tooth whitening needs, we can help them see how their daily habits contribute to extreme dental staining. In some cases, some patients can also have some staining or discoloration due to certain medications, issues dating back to their childhood, or damage to a tooth. In any case, the different dental teeth whitening options at Lansdowne can lift the stained and yellowed layers off your teeth to show a brighter and whiter smile in little to no time! Some patients even decide to have multiple procedures done to get the best white smile they can dream of. Some patients even end up having the brightest teeth they’ve ever had!

Once the professional tooth whitening session is complete, your teeth can be many shades lighter, but they can only remain in such an attractive state if you avoid certain habits that led to the staining. Drs. Tracey Nguyen, Steven Frames, and the LDC team can review these issues and help you make the very most of the whitening treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about the professional whitening session, do not hesitate to send us an email or give us a call, and one of our friendly staff members will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The results of your tooth whitening session usually can last for a few months at a time, depending on how well the patient takes care of the teeth. Drs. Tracey Nguyen, Steven Frames, and the LDC team can help you make the very most of your teeth whitening session in Lansdowne by reviewing the best aftercare steps. After all, you can make the tooth whitening session last much longer if you can take good care of your teeth after the session(s).

2 Different Options When Whitening Your Teeth

When you want to enjoy tooth whitening in our Lansdowne offices, Drs. Tracey Nguyen, Steven Frames, and the LDC team have a few effective options. These different options were created with every patient in mind, to include a custom whitening option for you that can fit into your schedule. We know that not every patient can come to the office for certain sessions, so we also have take-home trays to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home as well! Some of these include:

Whitening Trays

Our customized whitening trays are a convenient way to brighten your smile from the comfort of your home. We will ensure that the tooth whitening treatment is completely custom by firstly taking impressions of your teeth and having a professional lab create tailored custom trays from them. These trays will ensure every space in your mouth will be able to take in the whitening solution, so no space is left untouched! No one wants a blotchy whitening session done!

Once the trays are created, a dentist will provide these patients with a safe and simple bleaching solution to use for the whitening sessions. The dentist will go over the exact steps to ensure the session is done correctly at home. The solution can be added to the trays and be worn while you busy yourself with things around the house, and in between 1-3 hours, your first session is complete! The total whitening process can take anywhere from one to three weeks, depending on the shade of your teeth prior to bleaching.

This option is perfect for those patients who have busy schedules and cannot come into the dental office (during business hours) to have a dental whitening session performed. It can feel great knowing you can professionally whiten your teeth while you get work done at home or at work as well!

GLO Whitening

Drs. Tracey Nguyen, Steven Frames, and the LDC team also offer GLO Whitening. This is a state-of-the-art teeth whitening system that includes a take-home kit, so you’ll be able to easily maintain the results! The entire process only takes half an hour and is perfect for patients with sensitive teeth. GLO whitening uses a pH enhancer to keep your smile whiter longer, and the take-home kit comes with a unique applicator which is specially designed to remove stains before they set! You’ll see a beautiful, bright smile right away.

This is a great option for patients who want to maintain the bright white look of their smile. You will simply need to replace the G-vials after 40 applications. This is a simple and easy way to maintain a perfectly white smile. If you work with people and you need to maintain the look and appearance of healthy-looking teeth, this may be the best option for you.
