Crafting Beautiful Smiles With Percision And Care
Teeth Whitening at White Mountain Dental
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lightens stains from foods, drinks, tobacco, and natural aging. At White Mountain Dental in North Conway, NH, we tailor whitening to your enamel and sensitivity level, using trusted options like Opalescence take-home trays and in-office whitening systems, including Zoom and laser-assisted whitening when appropriate.
What Whitening Can (and Can’t) Do
Whitening works best on natural tooth enamel and common yellow or brown staining. It does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or tooth-colored fillings, so we’ll help you plan around existing dental work. If discoloration is from internal causes, we’ll discuss alternatives that may give more predictable results.
- Professional-strength results Lifts deeper stains more effectively than most store-bought strips.
- Options for your schedule Choose take-home whitening for gradual change or in-office whitening for faster results.
- Customized for sensitivity We adjust strength and timing to reduce zingy, cold sensitivity.
- More predictable, safer process Guided by a dental team so you avoid irritation and uneven whitening.
Choosing Your Whitening Option
Take-home whitening with custom trays (such as Opalescence) offers steady brightening over days to weeks, with control over how white you go. In-office whitening (including Zoom) can deliver a noticeable change in a single visit. Laser-assisted whitening may be recommended for certain cases to enhance the process. We’ll evaluate your teeth and goals first, then recommend the most comfortable and realistic plan.
- Shade evaluation and goal-setting before whitening begins
- Custom-fit trays for even coverage and reduced gum irritation
- In-office whitening for faster, supervised brightening
- Sensitivity planning with tailored strength and timing
Keeping Your Smile Bright
Results last longer with good brushing and flossing, regular cleanings, and mindful choices like using a straw for dark beverages and rinsing after coffee or wine. If you want an occasional boost, we can recommend touch-up timing that fits your lifestyle. Ready to brighten your smile?

Teeth Whitening FAQ
- Is professional teeth whitening safe?
- Yes, when it’s done with professional guidance. We choose the right strength for your teeth and protect your gums, which helps reduce irritation and sensitivity.
- What’s the difference between take-home and in-office whitening?
- Take-home whitening (like Opalescence trays) brightens gradually over multiple applications. In-office whitening (such as Zoom) is supervised and designed for faster, noticeable results in a single visit.
- What is laser whitening?
- Laser-assisted whitening uses light energy as part of an in-office process to support the whitening gel’s action in certain cases. We’ll recommend it only if it fits your needs and enamel condition.
- Will whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
- No. Whitening changes the shade of natural enamel, but restorations typically stay the same color. If you have visible dental work, we’ll help you plan so your smile looks even.
- How white will my teeth get?
- Results vary based on your starting shade, the type of staining, and your enamel. We’ll set realistic goals and help you choose a method that matches the look you want.
- Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
- Some sensitivity is common and usually temporary. We can reduce the likelihood by adjusting the formula, application time, and recommending comfort strategies.
- How long do whitening results last?
- It depends on your habits and diet. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain foods can re-stain enamel. Many patients maintain results with occasional touch-ups and regular cleanings.
- Should I get a cleaning before whitening?
- Often, yes. A professional cleaning removes surface buildup so whitening can work more evenly and comfortably.
- Can whitening help with deep or gray discoloration?
- Sometimes, but deeper internal discoloration may respond less predictably. If whitening won’t meet your goals, we’ll discuss other cosmetic options that can.
- How do I get started?
- Schedule a consultation so we can check your teeth, review any existing dental work, and choose the best whitening method. At White Mountain Dental in North Conway, NH, we’ll guide you to a brighter smile with comfort in mind.
