Teeth Whitening in Seattle, WA

In a world where looks are everything, we understand why the color of your teeth is a major cosmetic concern. Fortunately, Dental@888 in Seattle, WA can help you deal with this concern with professional-grade teeth whitening. Though there are tons of at-home whitening options, we use a product that has shown to work better than most over-the-counter treatments. Our whitening services, highly recommended by leading dentist Dr. Hal Kussick, will brighten your teeth by several shades, helping you keep your beautiful results for much longer than alternative products. We utilize professional-strength gels that really do the job, reaching below the surface of your teeth to remove deep stains instead of consumer-level solutions that just scratch the surface (quite literally) and merely produce a brighter shade of yellow at the very best.

Teeth whitening offers several advantages to Seattle, WA individuals seeking a brighter, more confident smile. Some of the benefits of teeth whitening include:

• Improves appearance by removing stains and discoloration caused by aging, food, and drinks
• Can help you appear more approachable and pleasant
• Typically provides noticeable improvements through just one treatment
• Personalized treatments to ensure you reach the level of whitening you desire
• Offers a rejuvenated and more attractive smile
• Improves overall self-confidence
• Creates a more positive initial impression in professional and social situations

Your whitening option will depend on the process you and Dr. Kussick discussed. Since our practice offers several options for successful, high-quality teeth whitening, we determine the method based on your goals and lifestyle. If you choose to have us whiten your teeth, it generally takes under an hour. During this appointment, we use a professional-strength whitening gel combined with the assistance of a light that immediately whitens the teeth several colors. Our at-home kits are equally effective but may provide a more subtle outcome over several months.

Following either procedure, you may experience sensitivity to cold or hot beverages, but this typically dissipates within a couple of days. As with all dental procedures, routine dental exams with Dr. Kussick are essential and crucial to maintaining results. Additionally, because teeth whitening is considered cosmetic, insurance does not typically cover it.
