FAQs

What is teeth whitening?

Given that a smile is the first thing you notice when you are introduced to someone, it’s no surprise that many people want it to be beautiful and bright. However, it is common for teeth to become discolored over time for several reasons, including improper maintenance, disease, certain medications, and other issues.

As its name implies, professional whitening is a popular procedure designed to brighten your smile and restore its natural appearance. Access Dental offers customized treatments to help patients achieve a more radiant smile through convenient and comfortable appointments.

What should I expect at my teeth whitening appointment?

The whitening process can take as little as 20 to 30 minutes, with many patients receiving treatment during a regularly scheduled dental cleaning or check-up.

During your treatment, the team at Access Dental applies a special bleaching agent to your teeth. They then treat the bleach with a special light enhancing its effect.

Access Dental can also provide you with take-home treatment trays. These trays use a similar bleaching agent to give an extra dose of whitening power and can be used from your home. Speak with the team to decide if teeth whitening is right for you.

How safe is teeth whitening?

Professional whitening is safe for most patients. However, some individuals may be advised against treatment, including those with peroxide allergies or certain sensitivities. If you have crowns, dental bonding, or fillings, whitening may not be the right option for you.

Having your teeth whitened by a dental professional ensures that the treatment is applied correctly and helps to eliminate unwanted side effects. The team at Access Dental can determine if teeth whitening will be safe and effective for you.

How long does teeth whitening stay white?

Whitening is not a permanent treatment, as teeth can become stained again from certain foods and beverages. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, many people can enjoy brighter results that last for a year or longer.

Testimonials

“I've had a lot of bad experiences with dentists in the past. Even unpleasant procedures here were incredibly pleasant because of the staff and how mindful they are of patients and their potential discomfort with frequent checks to make sure you're still doing alright.
One of my first appointments was a root canal for a tooth that started decaying way back before covid hit and I was actually smiling on the way out because of just how nice it was in comparison to others I've been to. All of the employees are incredibly polite and the office has a really nice welcoming feel to it.”
Tabby B.

“The front desk was awesome they were caring. They actually cared. Dr Kim was on point and was very professional. He handled my teeth with care with his partner named Nelly. They both worked as a team actually they all do for that I'm giving them the five star. And also they take care of your teeth!!!”
Augustus N.

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Kim. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind. Recently, I had to undergo a procedure that required a lot of patience and a gentle bedside manner, and Dr. Kim guided me through it with incredible skill and empathy. He made me feel comfortable and reassured every step of the way, and I can’t imagine going to anyone else. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a caring and professional dentist who truly puts his patients first.”
