What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to reduce stains and discoloration on the surface of teeth.
Using professional-grade whitening solutions and techniques, these treatments help brighten teeth by targeting the stains that commonly develop over time from everyday habits and dietary choices.
Flossmore Dental offers both in-office whitening treatments and take-home whitening kits to help patients achieve their desired results.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Teeth can become stained or discolored for many reasons.
Common causes of surface staining include:
- Coffee
- Red wine
- Dark-colored berries
- Certain spices
- Tobacco use
- Infrequent professional dental cleanings
Additionally, acidic foods and beverages, such as citrus fruits and orange juice, can temporarily soften enamel, making it easier for stains to penetrate the tooth surface.
In some cases, discoloration may be caused by decay or damage within the tooth itself. When this occurs, treatments such as crowns or veneers may be recommended to restore the appearance of the tooth.

What to Expect During Treatment

Advanced techniques help the whitening solution penetrate deeper into the tooth surface, targeting stains that may not respond to over-the-counter products.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Take-home whitening kits use custom-made trays designed specifically for your smile.
The trays help keep the whitening solution in contact with the tooth surface for more consistent coverage and results. Take-home kits may also help extend the results of professional whitening treatments or routine dental cleanings.
