How It Works

Understanding The Teeth Whitening Process

• Consultation – To begin the process, you’ll need to see Dr. Brabston to ensure that teeth whitening is a good option for your situation. Dr. Brabston can discuss all of your options for cosmetic dentistry in Fairhope, AL.
• Whitening your teeth – Depending on your case, you can choose between take-home whitening which offers comfort and convenience, or in-office whitening which provides faster results. Dr. Brabston will develop a customized plan based on your level of staining and desired level of brightness.
• Teeth whitening aftercare – Once your treatment is over, you should continue to brush and floss regularly, see Dr. Brabston for six-month visits, and take steps to keep your smile bright, such as cutting back on coffee, tea, and wine, quitting smoking, and using whitening toothpaste or mouthwash.

Take-Home Whitening

Professional take-home whitening is a very popular option among our patients in Fairhope, AL. In this process, Dr. Brabston will build you a special set of reusable teeth whitening trays. Then, he’ll provide these to you along with a set of professional-grade whitening products and instructions on how to use them.

Then, you can simply whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. The process usually takes a few weeks, and by the end of your treatment, you’ll have a bright, beautiful, professionally-whitened smile that will make you feel more proud and confident about your appearance.

In-Office Whitening (Laser & UV)

Similarly to take-home whitening, in-office whitening uses powerful chemical whiteners to remove stains from your teeth and improve your smile. However, the big difference is that this process is done and supervised by Fairhope dentist, Dr. Brabston, at our office and he can use a variety of special tools to improve the speed and effectiveness of whitening.

For example, laser light or UV (ultraviolet) light tools can be used to energize the chemicals applied to your teeth, boosting their effectiveness and providing you with a brighter smile more quickly. That means in-office whitening may be a better choice for you if you need fast results for a special occasion.

However, both in-office whitening and take-home whitening do provide amazing results, so the choice is yours. For more information, consult with Dr. Brabston about the pros and cons of each whitening method.
