Teeth Whitening in Knoxville, TN

Do you ever shy away from smiling in photos, hold back in conversations, or even cover your mouth when you laugh? At Bryant Family Dentistry, we believe every smile should shine brightly, and our professional teeth whitening treatment in Knoxville can be the solution. 

Teeth Whitening Basics

Professional teeth whitening removes years of staining caused by the foods and drinks we consume and lifestyle habits like tobacco use. Using safe but powerful bleaching agents, the whitening process targets and breaks down these stubborn stains and discoloration. Teeth whitening treatment at our Knoxville dental office can brighten teeth by several shades and reveal a fresher, more vibrant smile.

Life happens, and the results often show in the brightness of our teeth. Extrinsic, or external, stains develop in surface tooth enamel and can be caused by aging, consuming staining foods and drinks like coffee and red wine, and smoking. These stains typically respond well to professional teeth whitening.

Intrinsic stains develop within a tooth, making it look dark or discolored. Some reasons for internal staining are certain medications, dental trauma, and excessive exposure to fluoride in childhood. This type of tooth staining does not respond to whitening treatments; however, we can recommend cosmetic services like composite bonding, veneers, or crowns to conceal them.

Custom Take-Home Teeth Whitening in Knoxville

We offer take-home whitening kits because they are superior to store-bought kits and a more convenient and affordable alternative to in-office whitening. The benefits are:

• Custom-fit trays — Unlike one-size-fits-all whitening trays from stores, our trays are custom-molded to fit your teeth perfectly. Just place the whitening gel we provide in the trays for even application and consistent results.
• Professional strength — The whitening agents we use are more potent than store-bought alternatives for more noticeable results in a controlled manner.
• Convenience — Don’t have time to get away for an in-office whitening appointment? With our custom kits, you can whiten at your pace in the comfort of your home. 
• Controlled Results — With daily use over two weeks, take-home kits tend to deliver better results than quicker in-office methods. Plus, you are in control of how much or how little you want to whiten. 
• Support when you need it — If you experience problems like tooth sensitivity or don’t see the results you want, the team at Bryant Family Dentistry is always available to help you.

Here are some tips for maintaining your newly-brightened smile: 

• Minimize consumption of staining foods and beverages.
• Brush and floss regularly, and consider using a whitening toothpaste.
• Schedule regular teeth cleanings with us to remove surface stains.
• Avoid smoking and tobacco products.
• Use your trays and leftover whitening gel for monthly touchups.
