Teeth Whitening
Have you stopped showing your teeth in photos? Or do you digitally retouch your smile?
Discolored enamel can keep you from looking and feeling your best. Teeth whitening can help you smile confidently again.
Elite Dental Care provides stunning whitening treatments at our offices in Jackson, Dyersburg, Germantown, Trenton, and Eads, TN.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a type of cosmetic dental treatment. Our professional teeth whitening brightens the color of your enamel through careful bleaching with hydrogen peroxide.
We offer both in-office and at-home treatments, so you can achieve a brighter smile on a schedule that works for you.

Teeth Whitening Info to Know
What Causes Yellowed or Discolored Teeth?
We may be born with a set of pearly whites, but over time they can become yellowed or discolored.
Some of the extrinsic factors that change the color of your enamel include:
- Drinking tea, coffee, soda, or red wine
- General aging
- Consuming tobacco products, like dip or cigarettes
Why Should I Visit My Dentist for Enamel Whitening?
It may sound simpler – and cheaper – to just pick up an over-the-counter teeth whitening kit or a whitening toothpaste.
However, these whitening methods come with a few big drawbacks.
For one thing, over-the-counter dental whitening kits provide short-term results. They also struggle to whiten your teeth to the degree your dentist can provide.
Not to mention, you may unintentionally cause tooth sensitivity by leaving your teeth whitening strips on for too long. In contrast, your dentist's knowledge and training means safer treatment.
Whitening toothpastes often cost more than regular toothpastes, but that price tag doesn't guarantee significant results. You could be tossing away money each time you whiten your teeth with over-the-counter options.
Why Is My Dentist Able to Offer Better Teeth Whitening?
It's all about the enamel! When you choose over-the-counter kits or teeth whitening toothpastes, you're affecting only a shallow layer of your tooth's enamel.
Your dentist, on the other hand, can noticeably whiten your smile by reaching deeper layers. This technique means significant rejuvenation that lasts.
What Options Do You Offer?
Elite Dental Care knows that you have a busy schedule. That's why we feature both at-home and in-office dental whitening treatment options to bleach your enamel.

How Many Visits Does In-Office Teeth Whitening Typically Take?
You're just a few sessions away from a brightened smile. The dentists at Elite Dental Care will work to safely bleach your enamel over one to three visits.
How Long Will Each In-Office Visit Last?
Typically, each teeth whitening visit will take no longer than an hour.

How Do I Get Started With In-Office Whitening?
Before you become a patient, let's explain the enamel bleaching process.
At-Home Treatment The best of both worlds
How Does At-Home Treatment Work?
At-home whitening uses a less concentrated whitening gel, making it a great choice for sensitive teeth.
The whitening process begins with a visit to your dentist. We'll make an impression of your teeth, so we can create custom whitening trays fitted to your smile.
Next, you'll return to us to pick up your trays and whitening gel. Don't worry, though – we'll make sure they fit precisely before we send you home, and instruct you on how to place the whitening gel inside.
Pencil in 30 minutes each day to wear your trays. Your dentist will tell you how long to follow this course.
How Long Does At-Home Treatment Take?
Instead of fitting us into your life, we fit into yours with at-home whitening. Once you've had your consultation and tray impressions completed, it takes two to three weeks of daily wear to complete your whitening treatment.

FAQ

Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?

I Have a Crown – How Will the Bleach Affect It?

Teeth whitening can create long-lasting results. After your initial visits, you'll likely only have to return about once a year for your hydrogen peroxide treatment.

Maintain teeth whitening results for longer by:
- Refraining from using tobacco products, like cigarettes or dip
