Teeth Whitening in Murfreesboro, TN

At Fisher Dental in Murfreesboro, TN, we offer professional teeth whitening services to help you achieve a brighter, more confident smile. Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to various factors such as diet, lifestyle, and aging. Our teeth whitening treatments are designed to safely and effectively remove these stains, revealing a smile that you’ll be proud to show off. Under the care of Dr. Todd Fisher, you can enjoy a whiter smile in as little as one visit.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

While there are numerous over-the-counter teeth whitening products available, professional teeth whitening offers several distinct advantages:

• Faster Results: Professional treatments can significantly whiten your teeth in a short amount of time, often in just one visit.
• Customized Treatment: Dr. Fisher tailors the whitening treatment to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results with minimal sensitivity.
• Stronger Whitening Agents: Professional-grade whitening products contain stronger bleaching agents than those available over the counter, providing more effective and longer-lasting results.
• Safety and Comfort: Under the supervision of a dental professional, you can rest assured that your teeth and gums are protected throughout the whitening process.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Tooth discoloration can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Diet: Foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries are known to cause staining over time.
• Smoking and Tobacco Use: Nicotine and tar from tobacco products can lead to yellow or brown stains on your teeth.
• Aging: As we age, the outer enamel layer of our teeth wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
• Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, can cause intrinsic stains that are more challenging to remove.
• Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can allow plaque and stain-causing substances to build up on the teeth.

Understanding the cause of your tooth discoloration can help Dr. Fisher determine the most effective treatment approach. If you’re interested in maintaining your bright smile after treatment, learn more about our dental cleanings and how they can help prevent future staining.

What to Expect During Your Teeth Whitening Treatment

Your teeth whitening journey at Fisher Dental begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Todd Fisher. During this visit, we will discuss your whitening goals, assess the condition of your teeth, and recommend the most appropriate treatment option for you.

For in-office whitening, the process includes:

1. Preparation: We will protect your gums and lips to ensure the whitening gel only affects your teeth. A retractor may be used to keep your lips and cheeks away from the whitening area.
2. Application of Whitening Gel: The professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth. Depending on the system used, a special light may be used to activate the gel and enhance the whitening process.
3. Monitoring and Adjustment: Dr. Fisher will monitor the progress of your whitening, adjusting the treatment as needed to achieve the desired level of whiteness.
4. Final Rinse and Evaluation: After the treatment, your teeth will be rinsed, and Dr. Fisher will evaluate the results to ensure your satisfaction.

For take-home kits, you will receive detailed instructions on how to use the trays and gel, along with guidance on how often to apply the treatment.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

• Boosted Confidence: A brighter smile can enhance your self-esteem, making you feel more confident in social and professional settings.
• Youthful Appearance: Whiter teeth can give you a more youthful look by reversing years of staining and discoloration.
• Quick and Painless: Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that delivers fast results with little to no discomfort.
• Customizable: Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a dramatic change, our whitening options allow you to customize your results.

Maintaining Your White Smile

To prolong the results of your teeth whitening treatment, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and make mindful choices about your diet and habits. Regular dental cleanings at Fisher Dental can also help keep your smile bright by removing surface stains and plaque buildup.
