Teeth Whitening

Do stained or discolored teeth keep you from smiling confidently? Have you considered professional teeth whitening to eliminate stains and brighten your smile?

Punta Gorda Family Dentistry offers professional custom teeth whitening trays you can use at home when it’s convenient for your schedule. Here’s how it works.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening in Punta Gorda, FL

The first step in our teeth bleaching process is creating custom trays. Our team takes impressions of your teeth and uses them to fabricate plastic bleaching trays. The snug fit of the custom trays delivers excellent results and ensures that no whitening gel can escape onto your gums or soft tissues and cause irritation.

Most of our patients can achieve the results they want by using their whitening trays for 30-60 minutes daily for about 10 to 14 days. Best of all, you’ll have your trays at home whenever you want to give your smile a boost in the future.

The Advantages of Professional Teeth Whitening

With so many over-the-counter teeth bleaching products available at your local grocery or drug store, why should you choose professional teeth whitening with your dentist?

Effective Options

Dr. Klein provides more potent and effective teeth whitening gels than the products available at the store.

Safe Treatment

Bleaching your teeth under the supervision of your dentist is safer for your smile if you encounter any problems.

Customized Results

We make custom teeth whitening trays that deliver superior results to store-bought products that may be ill-fitting.

Highly recommend Dr. Klein and his office.

Who leaves 5 star reviews for a dentist? ME. I have had nothing but bad experiences with dentists since I came to Florida 6 years ago. Dr. Klein's staff made my first visit a painless and stress-free affair. Smiles and chit-chat go a long way!! Thank you for getting my records and seeing me at my actual appointment time!! Highly recommend Dr. Klein and his office.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Several factors and lifestyle choices can contribute to tooth staining and discoloration.

Certain medications — Some medicines or treatments, like tetracycline or chemotherapy, can contribute to tooth stains.
Poor oral hygiene — Lack of effective daily brushing and flossing can cause teeth to become discolored over time.
Age — Tooth yellowing or discoloration naturally accompanies the aging process.
Tobacco use — Smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco causes tooth staining that is hard to eliminate without professional treatment.

Certain foods and beverages you enjoy can also cause tooth stains. Here are a few culprits:

Red wine
Black coffee or tea
Soy sauce
Marinara sauce
Curries
Dark berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries
Red beets

The good news is that you don’t have to completely eliminate these things from your diet. Just be aware of them so you can drink plenty of water during consumption to counteract their staining effects.
