Teeth Whitening
Brighten Your Smile With Professional Whitening Solutions
Teeth whitening is one of the most effective and affordable ways to improve the appearance of your smile. At Buffalo Dental Group, we offer professional teeth whitening services exclusively at our Williamsville office. Whether you want fast, in-office results or a convenient take-home option, our whitening treatments are designed to safely remove stains and enhance your natural smile.
Professional whitening is a conservative cosmetic solution that delivers consistent, longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products, without compromising enamel or tooth health.
Why Teeth Whitening Matters
Tooth discoloration is a common concern that can result from age, diet, tobacco use, or certain medications. While daily brushing helps maintain oral hygiene, it doesn’t always prevent staining. Whitening can effectively lift surface stains and improve overall brightness, helping you look and feel your best.
Teeth whitening is often chosen as a standalone cosmetic treatment or combined with other services such as porcelain veneers or Invisalign for a complete smile makeover.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our in-office whitening treatment is ideal for patients who want noticeable results in a single visit. During this appointment, a powerful whitening gel is applied to the teeth and monitored for safety and effectiveness. Most treatments take about 90 minutes and can lighten teeth by several shades.
Before beginning treatment, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your enamel, and create a personalized whitening plan that aligns with your oral health and sensitivity level.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
We also offer professional-strength take-home whitening kits. Each kit includes custom-fitted trays and a prescription-grade gel formulated for gradual, even whitening. Patients typically wear their trays for 20 to 30 minutes per day and see results within 10 to 14 days.
Take-home kits are a great option for those who prefer a more flexible schedule or want to maintain results after in-office treatment.
What to Know Before and After Whitening
To maximize comfort and effectiveness, we provide every patient with instructions for pre- and post-whitening care:
Before Your Appointment
- Use Sensodyne toothpaste for one week to reduce potential sensitivity
- Eat before your visit, as eating or drinking (except water) is restricted for a few hours after treatment
After Whitening
- Drink only room-temperature water for the first few hours
- Avoid staining foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine, tomato sauces, mustard, etc.) for 24 to 48 hours
- Brush immediately after consuming foods with strong pigments
- Expect some temporary cold sensitivity; this typically fades within 24 to 48 hours
You’ll also receive take-home trays and whitening gel for ongoing maintenance.
A Conservative Cosmetic Approach
At Buffalo Dental Group, our whitening services follow the same minimally invasive philosophy we apply to all treatments. We focus on safe, effective care that improves appearance without harming natural tooth structure.
