Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to brighten and enhance the appearance of your smile by removing stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth. Over time, factors such as diet, lifestyle habits, aging, and certain medications can cause teeth to become stained or yellowed. Teeth whitening treatments aim to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth or even make them brighter than their original shade.
While over-the-counter products may promise results, they often fall short of expectations and can sometimes harm your teeth or gums. Our professional teeth whitening services at Aesthetic Island are tailored to safely and effectively remove years of stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and other lifestyle habits. Using advanced technology and medical-grade whitening solutions, we ensure your teeth achieve the luminous brightness you’ve always desired.
At Aesthetic Island, we take pride in offering personalized care and cutting-edge solutions to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. When you choose us for your teeth whitening needs, you benefit from:
Teeth whitening is a quick and effective way to transform your smile, leaving it brighter and more confident. At Aesthetic Island, a trusted Brooklyn Med Spa, we ensure that your whitening experience is comfortable, safe, and delivers noticeable results. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:
1. Consultation and Assessment
Before beginning the procedure, our experts will evaluate your teeth and gums to ensure you’re a good candidate for whitening. We’ll discuss your goals and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Preparation
Your teeth will be cleaned to remove surface debris, ensuring the whitening gel works effectively. Protective barriers will be applied to your gums and lips to prevent irritation during the process.
3. Application of Whitening Gel
A high-quality whitening gel, containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is evenly applied to your teeth. Depending on the treatment, a special light or laser may activate the gel, enhancing its whitening power.
4. Relaxation Period
The gel is left on your teeth for 30–60 minutes while you relax in our comfortable environment. If necessary, additional layers of gel may be applied during this time.
5. Post-Treatment Results and Care
Once the gel is removed, we’ll evaluate the brightness of your teeth and provide tips for maintaining your results. Avoiding stain-causing foods and practicing good oral hygiene will help prolong your new smile.
Experience brighter, whiter teeth with professional care at Aesthetic Island!
Yes, teeth whitening is safe when performed by professionals or with products recommended by a trusted provider. At Aesthetic Island, we use high-quality whitening agents that are effective yet gentle on your teeth and gums. Our experts ensure protective measures, such as applying barriers to shield your gums, minimizing the risk of irritation. While minor sensitivity may occur after the treatment, it is typically temporary and can be managed with desensitizing toothpaste or products. We prioritize your comfort and safety, so you can achieve a brighter smile with peace of mind.
The longevity of teeth whitening results varies depending on your oral care habits, diet, and lifestyle. On average, professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. To maintain your results, it’s essential to practice good oral hygiene, avoid stain-causing foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine), and schedule regular dental cleanings. At Aesthetic Island, we also offer maintenance options such as touch-up treatments to keep your smile radiant over time.
Teeth whitening is highly effective for extrinsic stains caused by food, drinks, and tobacco use. However, it may be less effective for intrinsic stains, which are discolorations within the tooth caused by factors such as aging, medications, or trauma. During your consultation at Aesthetic Island, our experts will assess your teeth and recommend the best solution for your specific type of discoloration. For stubborn stains, alternative treatments like veneers may be suggested.
Teeth whitening does not alter the color of dental restorations, such as crowns, veneers, or fillings. These materials are designed to match the natural color of your teeth at the time they were placed. If you have visible restorations, our team at Aesthetic Island will carefully assess your smile and discuss options to achieve a uniform appearance. In some cases, replacing restorations after whitening may be recommended to ensure a seamless match with your brighter natural teeth.
It’s common to experience mild tooth sensitivity after whitening, but it’s usually temporary and subsides within a few days. At Aesthetic Island, we take steps to minimize sensitivity by using high-quality whitening products and applying desensitizing agents if needed. We also provide guidance on how to manage sensitivity post-treatment, such as using a soft-bristle toothbrush, avoiding extremely hot or cold foods, and using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. If sensitivity persists, our experts are available to provide additional support and solutions.
