Benefits of Professional Whitening

Fast

Our Harrisonburg-area office uses the Smile Perfected™ whitening system to break down surface stains with unprecedented speed. In-office treatment takes just 20 minutes and can whiten your teeth by multiple shades.

Affordable

Teeth whitening is one of the least expensive treatments in dentistry, making it accessible for patients on any budget. If you don’t want to pay for the entire treatment upfront, we are happy to accept flexible financing through CareCredit®, Cherry, and more.

Safe

Teeth whitening is a non-invasive procedure that carries virtually no risk of serious side effects. Even patients with tooth and gum sensitivity can undergo teeth whitening without damaging their enamel or experiencing any pain.

Effective

Some people spend hundreds of dollars on store-bought whitening treatments that simply do not work. Make the most of your time and money by investing in a professional treatment that is proven to deliver noticeable and long-lasting results.

So glad I chose Smiles for Life in Bridgewater to care for my dental needs. After a long hiatus from visiting the dentist, they welcomed me and made me feel comfortable during every step of my examination. The staff was friendly, courteous and very professional. Morgan Maggie, the dental hygienists, was very skilled in performing a deep cleaning without causing any pain or discomfort Although I have more visits to come, I have been throughly impressed with the care that I have received and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dental team.

Dr. Geo Balderas was exceptionally kind to me. His professionalism raises the bar of dentistry in our region. I highly recommend Dr. Geo if you are timid or resolute when it comes to dental work. He put me at ease! Morgan Maggio is a phenomenal registered hygienist. Her care for me was professional, polite, and educational. She is flat out cool and that’s important to me. She gives off good energy and vibes. That’s big for me since I fear the dentist office lol!

How Does Professional Whitening Work?

Diagram explaining how professional teeth whitening whitens teeth.

During a professional whitening treatment, your dentist applies a special gel to the front surface of the teeth. An LED light activates the bleaching agent in the gel which penetrates the enamel and targets deep surface stains. The Smile Perfected system takes about 20 minutes to break down discoloration and whiten your teeth by several shades.

The Smile Perfected System

Smiles for Life Dental Care offers the easy and effective Smile Perfected whitening system to patients around Harrisonburg, VA. Treatment consists of two parts: in-office and take-home whitening.

In-Office Whitening

You begin your treatment with a powerful in-office bleaching procedure. Your dentist will clean your teeth and apply protective vitamin E oil to the lips and gums to prevent sensitivity. Next, we place dental trays pre-filled with whitening gel on the upper and lower arches, and then position your teeth under a special LED lamp. The light triggers the active ingredients in the whitening agent, causing stains to break down and dissolve. In about 20 minutes, your dentist removes the trays and washes off the residual gel to complete the procedure. Depending on your goals, we can repeat the in-office whitening treatment several times until your teeth reach an optimal shade of white.

Take-Home Whitening

Once you are satisfied with the results, you can maintain your tooth color with the Smile Perfected take-home pen. The pen contains a whitening gel that is easy to apply even in hard-to-reach parts of your teeth. Simply twist the bottom of the pen to release the gel into the applicator tip and brush evenly over the surface enamel. Next, place the protective trays over your upper and lower dental arch to hold the gel in position. In about 20 minutes, you can remove the trays and rinse off your teeth. While the take-home whitening gel has a lower concentration of bleaching gel than the in-office alternative, make sure to use the pen as directed to avoid causing dental sensitivity.

Looking for More Dramatic Enhancement?

Consider a Smile Makeover

Many of our Harrisonburg patients choose to combine teeth whitening with additional forms of dentistry in a comprehensive smile makeover. Our dental office in Bridgewater offer a wide selection of cosmetic procedures to achieve your unique goals. After you meet with one of our dentists for a personalized consultation, we will design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

These customized procedures often use whitening to further enhance the results of porcelain veneers, orthodontics and more. Ask about a smile makeover during your next visit and find out what we can do for you.

Smiles for Life Dental Care can whiten your teeth multiple shades for patients in Waynesboro and Harrisonburg.
Combining multiple dentistry procedures into one streamlined treatment is a fast and cost-effective way to get the aesthetic results you desire.

Maintaining Your New Smile

While teeth whitening is not permanent, there are several ways you can help extend the lifespan of your results. Our dentists recommend the following:

Practice Good Dental Hygiene

The best way to maintain an attractive smile is to practice thorough and consistent dental hygiene. Brushing can prevent stains as well as oral health problems like tooth decay and gum disease. Brush your teeth twice daily with whitening toothpaste, and floss carefully at least once a day.

Avoid Darkly Colored Foods and Drinks

Avoid certain foods and drinks that are responsible for tooth stains. In general, dark-colored and highly pigmented substances are more likely to taint the enamel. If you choose to indulge in coffee, red wine, or black tea, try drinking through a straw and brushing afterward to lower the potential stain absorption.

Attend Regular Dental Check-ups

Professional teeth cleanings are important for a white smile. Schedule a routine visit with your dentist at least twice a year. Feel free to whiten your teeth at home with your take-home pen after these appointments. A thorough cleaning can make your teeth even more receptive to the effects of whitening gel.
