Illuminate Your Smile, Radiate Confidence
A bright, white smile can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more confident in both social and professional settings, yet aging, coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco gradually pull even the healthiest teeth away from the shade you want. Over-the-counter strips and trays may take the edge off surface stains, but they can’t replicate the safety, precision, or lasting results that come from professional-grade treatment delivered in a dental office.
The Lumiere Difference
Unlike over-the-counter whitening products that offer limited results, our professional teeth whitening services deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting outcomes. Our cosmetic dentists utilize advanced whitening techniques and premium-grade whitening agents to brighten your smile by several shades, leaving you with a dazzling, youthful appearance.
The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening delivers advantages that no store-bought product can match. Our cosmetic dentists use advanced whitening techniques and premium-grade agents to brighten your smile by several shades, leaving you with a naturally luminous, youthful appearance. These benefits are what set professional whitening apart from anything available on a drugstore shelf, and they’re why so many patients across Maitland, Winter Park, and Orlando choose Lumiere for this service.
The benefits our Maitland patients consistently experience include the following:
Enhanced Confidence
A brighter smile makes you feel more at ease in social and professional settings.
Youthful Appearance
Removing stains and discoloration caused by aging, coffee, wine, and tobacco can take years off your look
Safe and Effective
Treatments are performed under the supervision of our skilled dental team, protecting the health of your teeth and gums throughout
Customized Treatment
Every smile is unique, which is why we personalize your whitening plan to match your individual needs and preferences
Your Whitening Options at Lumiere
In-Office Whitening
For patients who want dramatic results in a single visit, our in-office whitening treatment delivers. We apply a professional-strength whitening gel and use light activation to brighten your smile by several shades in as little as one hour. A 2023 peer-reviewed study published through PubMed Central found in-office whitening results continue to improve in the months following treatment, making it a strong long-term investment. Your gums and soft tissue are protected throughout, and sensitivity is carefully managed at every step.
Take-Home Whitening Trays
For patients who prefer the flexibility of whitening at home, we provide custom-fitted trays made from precise digital scans of your teeth using our iTero/Trios intraoral scanner. These trays ensure full, even coverage across every surface, something a generic store-bought tray simply cannot achieve. You receive professional-grade whitening gel and clear instructions so you can work toward your results on your own schedule over one to two weeks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Professional whitening works best for patients with surface stains from food, beverages, or tobacco, and for those whose teeth are naturally healthy but discolored. The following are generally good candidates for treatment:
- Patients with stains from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco
- Patients with naturally yellow teeth that are otherwise healthy
- Patients whose teeth are structurally healthy but discolored
It is worth noting whitening does not change the color of dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or bonding. Patients with active cavities, significant gum disease, or existing dental work on their front teeth are generally not ideal candidates right away. In those cases, we address any underlying concerns first before recommending whitening. If you are weighing whether treatment is right for you, our blog on teeth whitening safety in Maitland covers what patients should know going in.
How Long Do Results Last, and Will Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
Most patients enjoy noticeably brighter results for one to three years following treatment. Avoiding staining foods and beverages, maintaining consistent oral hygiene, and attending routine dental cleanings all help preserve your outcome over time. We also provide custom take-home trays for exactly this purpose, so maintaining your results between visits is simple and effective.
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening treatment. We take steps to minimize this before and during the process, including using desensitizing agents where appropriate. At your consultation, Dr. Mersh will evaluate your smile and select the approach best suited to your comfort level. For patients who want to see real outcomes before committing, our before and after gallery offers a look at what professional whitening can achieve. For those whose goals extend beyond whitening alone, a comprehensive smile makeover or porcelain veneers may be worth exploring as well.
Is Professional Whitening Right for You?
Works best for:
- Surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco
- Natural yellowing due to age
- Teeth that are structurally healthy but discolored
Not recommended for:
- Patients with crowns, veneers, or tooth-colored fillings (these do not whiten)
