Lifting stubborn stains to lift your smile and confidence to new heights:

Professional teeth whitening FAQs

Have you experimented with a range of over-the-counter whitening toothpaste, gels, trays, strips, and other products and found no difference in your teeth color? Did you find that the minimal change in your stains’ appearance wasn’t worth the cost or hassle, mainly due to irritation from the one-size-fits-all whitening trays and gels? Now that we’ve asked you a few questions, the office of Bright Dental Brianna Rafetto D.M.D., P.A. is happy to answer your FAQs about professional services (that really work!) at our office in Middletown, Delaware.

What makes teeth whitening at the dentist’s office different?

As a qualified dentist, Dr. Rafetto has access to the most powerful whitening gels. The gels she uses in treatment have been formulated with ingredients that are clinically proven effective and safe at removing and lifting stains and discoloration from the teeth.

How can you get the results I want?

We understand that everyone has a different “starting place” to lighten their teeth. We also know that some of our patients may desire a more dramatic enhancement. The powerful, proven peroxide-based gels mentioned above can be customized to your needs. Dr. Rafetto can select from gels with higher or lower carbamide or hydrogen peroxide concentrations as appropriate. These gels are sufficiently concentrated to make a noticeable difference in your teeth; however, for instance, some concentrations may be better for individuals with a history of tooth sensitivity to ease the risk of developing discomfort during the process.

And what is the process?

All treatments start with a consultation to determine if your teeth and gums are healthy enough for professional products, among other considerations. From there, you may select in-office “power” whitening. Dr. Rafetto can transform the color of your yellow, severely stained, and discolored teeth by several shades in one visit. She takes precautions to ensure the gel is applied to the teeth in a way that provides the most even whitening results. Such safeguards minimize the risk of irritation to the gums and tissues around the teeth.

If you desire a more gradual approach, home whitening may be in your future. Trays are customized to your mouth. When you wear them as Dr. Rafetto instructs, the custom-fit trays deliver whitening gel to your mouth comfortably, evenly, and gradually over days or weeks.
