What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that lightens the color of your teeth while removing stains and discoloration. The process involves the use of a high-concentration bleaching agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrates the tooth enamel and breaks down discolored molecules. At Cranberry Dental Studio, we offer a number of different in-office and at-home whitening options including: Pola Advanced Tooth Whitening System, Zoom! Whitening, and Kor Whitening.

Preparing for Your Appointment
We recommend having your teeth cleaned shortly before any whitening appointment to ensure that your teeth are free from plaque, tartar, and other debris. If you are concerned about sensitivity you can brush your teeth with regular Sensodyne toothpaste for 2-3 weeks leading up to your appointment.
Your teeth will continue to lighten for 24 hours following your appointment. It is important to avoid any dark food/drinks (red wine, red sauce, coffee, black tea, dark soda, etc.) during that time as your teeth will be highly susceptible to staining. After 24 hours have passed you can resume your normal diet.
If you have questions about the process or about Cranberry Dental Studio, don’t hesitate to contact us! Our team of experienced dental professionals will assist you through every step of your teeth whitening journey.
Post-Whitening Care and Maintenance
To prolong the results of your teeth whitening treatment, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental check-ups. Additionally, try to limit the consumption of staining agents such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to minimize the risk of discoloration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whitening systems like Pola and Zoom! work best on extrinsic stains (surface stains) from foods, drinks, or smoking while whitening systems like Kor are designed for intrinsic stains or discoloration from medications, trauma, or certain dental conditions. Every case is different which is why we tailor treatment to each patient.
No, whitening treatments do not change the color of dental restorations. We can discuss other options if these need to be updated for a consistent appearance.
The length of results will vary per person, the largest factor being diet. If you are a smoker or drink a lot of coffee, tea, soda, red wine, etc. your teeth will pick up stain faster than someone who does not consume these things regularly. As a general rule, results typically last a year but some patients choose to use their custom at-home whitening trays (included with each in-office whitening option) sooner.
Finding teeth whitening services in your local area should be a hassle-free process. Start by conducting research online and asking friends and family about recommendations. However, in order to feel confident in your final decision, it is best to contact the practice and talk to them about their teeth whitening process. At Cranberry Dental Studio, you can contact our team and we will answer all of your questions about teeth whitening.
Your teeth will be susceptible to staining for the first 24 hours so you should avoid eating or drinking foods dark in color (red wine, spaghetti sauce, coffee, black tea, dark soda, etc.) After 24 hours your teeth will start to settle into their final shade and you can resume your normal diet.
Some people experience temporary sensitivity, but professional treatments like Pola are designed to minimize this risk. At Cranberry Dental Studio we can customize whitening treatment to reduce sensitivity.
