Teeth Whitening in Davie, FL

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

While over-the-counter whitening products can offer some improvement, they can’t match the effectiveness, safety, or speed of professional whitening. Here’s why patients across Davie, Weston, and Plantation trust our office for radiant smile makeovers:

Faster, More Dramatic Results

Our in-office whitening systems can lighten teeth by multiple shades in a single visit—perfect if you have a special event coming up or simply want instant results.

Even Whitening, Every Time

We apply whitening agents evenly and monitor their progress throughout treatment to ensure consistent, streak-free results—no guesswork required.

Gentle on Enamel

Our team carefully customizes the whitening strength and application time to suit your needs, protecting your enamel and minimizing sensitivity.

Safe for Sensitive Teeth

We use high-quality whitening agents and offer desensitizing treatments to ensure a comfortable experience—even for patients with naturally sensitive teeth.

What Causes Tooth Staining?

Even with excellent oral hygiene, discoloration can occur over time due to:

• Coffee, tea, red wine, ad dark-colored foods
• Tobacco use
• Natural aging and enamel thinning
• Certain medications or trauma
• Inadequate brushing or plaque buildup

The good news? Professional whitening removes stubborn extrinsic stains (those on the surface of the enamel) and helps restore a youthful, healthy-looking glow to your smile.

Our Whitening Options

At Flamingo Commons Dental, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening solutions to fit your lifestyle and goals.

In-Office Whitening

This is the fastest and most effective way to brighten your smile. We apply a high-concentration whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light for rapid results. Most patients leave their appointment with a visibly whiter smile in under an hour.

Perfect for:

• Special occasions
• Brides and grooms
• Professional headshots
• Anyone wanting instant results

‍Take-Home Whitening Trays

For those who prefer gradual whitening or want to touch up results from in-office treatment, we offer custom whitening trays and professional-grade gel. Simply wear the trays at home for 30–60 minutes a day for 1–2 weeks.

Perfect for:

• Flexible, at-your-own-pace whitening
• Maintaining brightness over time
• Reducing sensitivity with slower progress

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Professional whitening is ideal for most adults and teens with healthy teeth and gums. You may be a great candidate if you:

• Are concerned about yellow, dull, or stained teeth
• Have surface-level stains from food, drinks, or tobacco
• Want a whiter smile before a big event or photo shoot
• Have good oral hygiene and no untreated cavities or gum disease
• Before we begin whitening, we’ll evaluate your oral health to ensure you’re a good candidate.

In some cases, we may recommend alternative cosmetic options, such as veneers or bonding, if your stains are deep within the tooth (intrinsic).

What to Expect During Treatment

In-Office Whitening Steps:

• A protective barrier is placed to shield your gums and soft tissue.
• Whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated with a special light.
• After 15–20 minutes, the gel is removed and reapplied if needed.
• You’ll see brighter teeth before you leave the chair!

Take-Home Whitening Steps:

• We take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays.
• You receive professional-grade gel and usage instructions.
• You whiten at home on your schedule, typically over 10–14 days.

Keeping Your Smile Bright After Whitening

To maintain your results, we recommend:

• Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks for 48 hours post-treatment
• Drinking through a straw when consuming coffee or tea
• Brushing twice daily and flossing regularly
• Scheduling regular cleanings and checkups
• Touch-up whitening every 6–12 months as needed

Teeth Whitening FAQs

A: With good habits and regular maintenance, results can last 6 months to 2 years. We’ll recommend a touch-up plan based on your lifestyle.
