Is tooth whitening right for you? Call us to learn more about getting the smile you deserve.
One of the questions we often get from our High Point, North Carolina customers here at the dental office of Michael S. Spangler, DDS, PA, is whether tooth whitening is right for everyone. The answer is that many do find the benefits of tooth whitening to be worth the time and cost, but it isn’t for everyone. If you have dental work that should not be subjected to tooth whitening, for example, we’ll be sure to let you know. We’ll also be able to give you complete information about what to expect. Some situations can take multiple visits and knowing this upfront is important.
Another question is about whether it is best to come to us rather than use an at-home tooth whitening product. The answer to this one might surprise you. For the most part, the tooth whitening product itself is similar, although the concentration percentages are quite a bit lower with DIY products, so it will take much longer to get the results you desire. It isn’t just the product advantage that makes it better to turn to a professional for tooth whitening – it is the process itself and the safety factor that can be assured.
If you are in the High Point, North Carolina area and would like to know more about tooth whitening or would like to make an appointment to come into office, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our goal is to give you the smile you deserve and help you keep it for a lifetime.

Hidden
Is tooth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional, tooth whitening is a safe and effective procedure. We use regulated ingredients, and the procedure we implement is designed to minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel.
How long will the results of tooth whitening last?
You can expect your results to last from a few months to a few years—the longevity will depend on your lifestyle and oral care habits. Avoiding staining foods, drinks, and tobacco products will help you maintain a whiter smile for longer.
What is the difference between professional and over-the-counter tooth whitening products?
Professional products are stronger and contain dentist-approved ingredients that deliver faster and more noticeable results. Over-the-counter kits can help with mild staining, but they usually take longer and offer less dramatic improvements.
Does tooth whitening work on all teeth?
Whitening is most effective on natural teeth. It will not impact the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings, which is why it’s important to have a detailed consultation before a procedure to ensure we can provide the results you’re looking for.
How long does a tooth whitening service take?
In-office treatments take around an hour.
