Teeth Whitening in Plantation
A whiter, brighter smile can boost your confidence, improve first impressions, and enhance your overall appearance. Teeth whitening is one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental treatments because it effectively brightens teeth and removes stains, offering a quick and noticeable transformation. At George Family Dental Care, we offer safe, effective teeth whitening options to fit your lifestyle.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Teeth whitening involves applying a bleaching agent to the tooth surface, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These agents penetrate the enamel to break down stains and discoloration at a molecular level. Teeth whitening targets surface stains from food, drinks, and lifestyle habits like smoking. It can also penetrate and whiten deeper discoloration caused by aging or medication.
Professional, in-office teeth whitening treatments use bleaching agents with a higher percentage of the active ingredients activated with a special lamp. The lamp encourages deeper penetration of the whitening agent and faster results. One session lasting an hour or less can whiten your teeth up to eight shades.

Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening
-
- Eliminates stubborn stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco that have built up over the years.
- Teeth whitening, a non-invasive cosmetic procedure, offers dramatic results without damaging your teeth or requiring surgery or long-term treatment. This safe approach ensures your dental health is not compromised while achieving a brighter smile.
- You can customize your teeth whitening results based on whether you want a subtle change or a dazzling white smile.
- Whiter teeth can give you a more polished appearance, boosting your self-confidence in social and professional situations.
- Yellowed or stained teeth are more evident as we age. Teeth whitening can make you look years younger.
Custom Trays
Custom whitening trays are crafted specifically for your teeth, ensuring a precise fit. We take impressions of your teeth to create personalized trays that fit snugly to maximize the bleaching gel’s contact with your teeth. You use these at home with a professional-grade whitening gel. With custom-fitted trays, you reduce the risk of gum irritation and ensure even application of the bleaching gel for excellent results.
Non-Custom Trays
Non-custom trays are available in teeth whitening kits, which you can purchase in our office. These trays are filled with whitening gel and can be used at home. Although they do not fit as snugly as custom-fitted trays, they are convenient and affordable.
Chairside Whitening
In-office, chairside whitening is the fastest way to achieve dramatic results. We apply a highly concentrated whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light or laser. The results are immediate and impressive. We supervise the entire procedure for safety and effectiveness, and you walk out of our office with a smile that can be up to ten shades lighter after just an hour.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Teeth whitening is an excellent option for most people, but it’s not suitable for everyone. Dr. George can assess your oral health to determine if whitening is appropriate, especially if you have crowns, veneers, or severe discoloration.
Investing in professional teeth whitening ensures a safer and more reliable outcome compared to over-the-counter options. Whether you prefer the convenience of at-home trays or the immediacy of chairside whitening, we can help you achieve the bright, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
