At Prestige Dentistry, we believe your smile should reflect the confidence you carry. If you’re bothered by stains, discoloration, or a dull smile, our professional teeth whitening services in Palm Harbor and Trinity, FL, can brighten your teeth and renew your self-esteem—all in as little as one visit.

Whether you're preparing for a big event or simply want to feel better about your smile, our experienced team offers safe, effective, and long-lasting teeth whitening solutions designed to fit your lifestyle and smile goals.

Why Teeth Become Discolored

Teeth naturally darken over time due to a variety of reasons, including:

  • Daily consumption of coffee, tea, wine, or soda
  • Smoking or tobacco use
  • Certain medications (like tetracycline or antihistamines)
  • Aging and thinning enamel
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Genetics

While brushing and over-the-counter products can help maintain general cleanliness, they usually aren’t enough to lift deep stains or significantly whiten teeth. That’s where professional whitening at Prestige Dentistry comes in.

In-Office Teeth Whitening: Fast, Safe, and Noticeably Effective

Our in-office teeth whitening is one of the fastest and most powerful ways to brighten your smile. In just one visit, we can lift years of stains and leave your teeth several shades whiter.

Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  • We begin by protecting your gums and soft tissues to minimize sensitivity.
  • A powerful professional-grade whitening gel is applied to the surface of your teeth.
  • The gel is activated using a special LED light, which speeds up the whitening process.
  • In just about an hour, you'll walk out with a noticeably whiter, refreshed smile.

This treatment is ideal for patients seeking immediate results, such as for weddings, interviews, or special occasions.

Take-Home Whitening Kits: Whitening on Your Schedule

If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace, Prestige Dentistry also offers custom take-home whitening kits. These professional kits are more effective than drugstore options and include:

  • Custom-fitted whitening trays designed just for your smile
  • A medical-grade whitening gel that’s safe and powerful
  • Detailed instructions from your dentist to ensure safe and even results

Most patients start seeing results after just a few days, with full results in about two weeks.

What Makes Our Whitening Better Than Store-Bought Kits?

Not all whitening systems are created equal. Over-the-counter products often contain low concentrations of active ingredients, which means limited results and more frequent use. Some may even cause gum irritation or uneven whitening.

With Prestige Dentistry’s professional-grade whitening, you benefit from:

  • Stronger, faster-acting whitening agents
  • Custom-fitted trays for even application
  • Oversight by dental professionals for safety and effectiveness
  • Longer-lasting results

Whether you choose in-office or take-home whitening, our team will guide you every step of the way and help you maintain your brighter smile.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective solution for most healthy adults. Ideal candidates:

  • Have good oral health with no untreated decay or gum disease
  • Are not pregnant or nursing
  • Do not have dental restorations (crowns, veneers, or fillings) on their front teeth that might not whiten
  • Are looking to address surface stains or mild-to-moderate discoloration

Before starting any whitening treatment, we’ll examine your teeth and gums to ensure you’re a good candidate and to customize the treatment based on your goals and sensitivities.

How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?

With proper care, professional teeth whitening can last from 6 months up to 2 years. To keep your smile bright, we recommend:

  • Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks, or using a straw when consuming them
  • Brushing and flossing regularly
  • Touch-up treatments every 6–12 months, as needed
  • Coming in for regular dental cleanings and exams

If you follow good oral habits, your smile can stay whiter for a long time to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional teeth whitening cost?

+
The cost varies based on the type of whitening you choose. In-office whitening is more expensive but delivers faster results, while take-home kits are more affordable. We’ll go over pricing during your consultation.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?

+
Some people may experience temporary sensitivity after whitening, especially to cold drinks or air. We use desensitizing agents to minimize discomfort, and it typically subsides within a day or two.

How long does in-office whitening take?

+
Most in-office whitening sessions take about 60–90 minutes from start to finish, and results are often noticeable right away.

Are results permanent?

+
No, but they are long-lasting. Teeth will naturally accumulate some stains over time. Good habits and occasional touch-ups can keep your smile bright for years.

Can I whiten crowns or fillings?

+
Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Crowns, fillings, or veneers will not change color with whitening. We can discuss options to update restorations for a more even appearance if needed.

Is teeth whitening safe?

+
Yes, when done under the supervision of a dentist, teeth whitening is considered very safe. We protect your gums and monitor your progress to ensure the best results without complications.

How white will my teeth get?

+
Results vary depending on your original tooth color and type of stains, but most patients see their teeth lighten by 3 to 8 shades.

Can I get whitening if I have braces?

+
It’s best to wait until after braces are removed to whiten, as the gel can’t reach the enamel underneath brackets, leading to uneven results.

What’s the difference between whitening toothpaste and professional whitening?

+
Whitening toothpastes can help remove surface stains but won’t actually change the color of your teeth. Professional treatments penetrate deeper and produce much more dramatic results.

How soon after whitening can I eat or drink?

+
We recommend avoiding dark-colored foods and beverages (like coffee, red wine, or berries) for at least 24–48 hours after whitening, as your teeth are more porous and prone to staining during that time.
