Coffee, tea, red wine, aging — they all take a toll on your teeth's brightness over time. Over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpastes can help with surface stains, but they simply don't have the concentration or the custom delivery system to produce dramatic, lasting results. Professional whitening does.
At Newpoint Family Dental in Unionville, CT, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening options designed to fit your timeline and budget. Whether you want a noticeably whiter smile before an event next week or prefer a more gradual approach, we have a solution that works.
In-Office Whitening
Our in-office treatment uses a professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel activated by a specialized light. In about 60 to 90 minutes, your teeth can lighten several shades — results that would take weeks to achieve with store-bought products. We protect your gums and soft tissues throughout the procedure, minimizing sensitivity and ensuring an even result.
Custom Take-Home Trays
For patients who prefer whitening at their own pace, we create custom-fitted trays from impressions of your teeth. You apply a professional-strength whitening gel at home for 30 minutes to an hour daily over one to two weeks. The custom fit ensures even coverage and less gum irritation than one-size-fits-all strip products. Many patients use their trays for periodic touch-ups for years to come.
What About Sensitivity?
Some tooth sensitivity during whitening is normal and temporary. We take steps to minimize it — including potassium nitrate pre-treatment and careful gel concentration selection based on your teeth's current condition. If you've experienced sensitivity with whitening before, let us know. We can adjust the protocol to keep you comfortable while still achieving great results.
Patients throughout Farmington Valley look to Newpoint for whitening because we deliver predictable, professional results — not the guesswork of drugstore products. If you want a brighter smile, this is the reliable way to get it.
