BOOST Teeth Whitening in White Bear Lake, MN

What do you see when you smile at yourself in the mirror? Does it make you happy?

Couple with Teeth Whitening in White Bear Lake MN

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, you have more options than you might realize. This, of course, doesn’t mean that you have to run out tomorrow and spend thousands of dollars on a full smile makeover. In most cases, a simple and affordable option like professional teeth whitening can significantly improve your appearance and your outlook on life.

At our White Bear Lake dental office, we offer our patients BOOST® teeth whitening to remove stains and provide a whiter, younger-looking smile. Our patients love the results they get with BOOST, and we love seeing their happy smiles!

What Causes Dental Discoloration?

As we get older, our teeth tend to lose their luster and become darker in appearance. This happens for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it can come down to the foods we enjoy. Coffee, red wine, tea, and foods like curries and dark berries can all leave dark stains on our teeth. Smoking is another common culprit. Smoking can do a great deal of damage to your teeth and gums, and if you currently smoke, we encourage you to quit.

Sometimes, a darker smile is the result of genetics. If your parents had a dark smile, you might have inherited this tendency. This is usually due to thin enamel that allows the darker dentin beneath to show through.

What Are the Benefits of BOOST Teeth Whitening from White Bear Smiles?

If your teeth are stained and discolored, we offer the BOOST whitening system at our White Bear Lake dental office. When you choose either our in-office or take-home professional teeth whitening services, here’s how your smile will benefit:

Effective

Our professional whitening system effectively removes stains caused by food and drinks, tobacco use, aging, or medications.

Fast

With our in-office whitening treatment, you can enjoy whiter, brighter teeth in one trip to our dental office.

Comfortable

Because our BOOST whitening system doesn’t require light activation, you can enjoy a more comfortable whitening experience.

Personalized

We can tailor your whitening treatment to your cosmetic goals by carefully matching your results to your natural smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

The proliferation of toothpaste that claims to whiten teeth leads consumers to think that these whitening toothpastes are miracle cures. Truthfully, they are not that effective at whitening the underlying tooth. They tend to remove stains so that the underlying whiteness of the tooth becomes more apparent. 

Using Whitening Toothpaste

It is important to note that while these toothpastes may be helpful in removing stains, some brands of whitening toothpastes can damage tooth enamel. These toothpastes use harsh abrasives. Repeated use over long periods can result in damage to tooth enamel.

Use of these products should be limited to a month at a time – or alternate daily between using a whitening toothpaste and a conventional toothpaste.

Always check with your dentist before trying a new dental product. If you'd like to book a professional whitening exam, contact White Bear Smiles today!

Many factors work to destroy the naturally white smile we are born with. Tobacco, certain foods we eat, and certain drinks actually stain teeth. These substances continually work on our teeth causing our white smile to gradually fade.

Foods That Could Darken Teeth

Hot coffee and tea are especially hazardous to your smile because they change the temperature of your teeth. This temperature change – hot and cold cycling – causes the teeth to expand and contract allowing stains to penetrate the teeth. Just cutting down on coffee and tea can go a long way to creating a great smile.

Foods that are slightly acidic are also dangerous to your white smile. These foods open up the pores of the tooth enamel allowing stains to move more easily into the tooth.

Your dentist can help you with more tips on keeping a white smile. If you are interested in professional teeth whitening to remove stains, contact White Bear Smiles!

If you have yellow or brown tooth stains, you may be considering a tooth whitening product. If you have an event on the horizon—wedding, reunion, or a job interview—you may be weighing your options.

Of course, there are a variety of products available to help you achieve a brighter smile, but not all products are created equal.

Why choose BOOST Teeth Whitening

At White Bear Smiles, we use BOOST teeth whitening because our patients love their results, and we have found that this system whitens teeth evenly and predictably compared when with store-bought kits and gels.

It’s important to remember, too, that teeth whitening under the discretion of a dental professional means a prescription-grade product and even bleaching.

Additionally, professional teeth whitening in White Bear Lake means your dentist has examined your teeth and gums and deemed bleaching safe—this is not true with store-bought kits. And if your teeth are not in the right condition for bleaching—or the abrasive ingredients that may be part of your kit—you may end up with tooth sensitivity.

Unlike other systems, BOOST strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity using a specialized formula, providing dramatic results without the need for uncomfortable high-heat dental lights.

Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Store-Bought Kits?

Many patients feel frustrated after using over-the-counter strips that cause "zingers" or uneven results. At White Bear Smiles, our White Bear Lake dentist ensures your safety by examining your oral health before treatment. We check the integrity of your restorations and the health of your gums to ensure cosmetic dentistry is the right path for you. Our professional-grade gel is more powerful and more consistent than any drugstore alternative.

  • Immediate Impact: Walk out with a visibly whiter smile after a single one-hour appointment.

No, teeth whitening is not safe for everyone, which is why it’s important to whiten your smile under the direction of your dentist. Before we proceed with teeth whitening, we evaluate your oral health to ensure candidacy. This is not always possible when you lighten your teeth on your own.

Are You a Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening in White Bear Lake, MN?

Your consultation determines candidacy, so we have you come in for an evaluation. Your dentist considers your overall dental health and restorations before proceeding with whitening treatment.

If you are a candidate, we may start you with a teeth cleaning to boost your whitening results. Teeth cleanings lift stains from tooth enamel and pores, allowing the whitening system to penetrate more deeply and remove discoloration.

We use Boost® teeth whitening in our dental office because it gives you more options:

  • Take-Home Teeth Whitening
  • In-Office Teeth Whitening

Additionally, we can customize Boost to meet your needs and goals.

Professional teeth whitening can be used alone or as part of a smile makeover.

How Does BOOST Work?

Woman with teeth whitening in white bear lake mnIf you are unhappy with the shade of your smile, make an appointment so that you can discuss your options with one of our doctors. They’ll examine your teeth, discuss your habits, and determine whether teeth whitening is a good option for you. Just about anyone with reasonably healthy teeth can whiten comfortably and safely. BOOST even contains a desensitizing agent that makes it possible for people with sensitive teeth to whiten without discomfort.

In-Office Whitening – If you want to brighten your smile and remove years of stain quickly, whether you have a special occasion coming up or just looking to give yourself a little makeover, we can discuss in-office whitening. This procedure allows us to whiten your teeth in about an hour and a half and will provide immediate results!

Take-Home Whitening – We offer a few different whitening products that you can use at home, including a gel with custom-made trays that are designed to perfectly fit your teeth. You’ll be able to whiten your teeth when it’s most convenient for you.

What About Over-the-Counter Whitening Products?

We get a lot of questions about the range of products available in drug and grocery stores that claim to provide the same results as professional whitening. The reality, though, is that these products are not available in the same concentration as professional products, they are not customizable like professional products, and you don’t have oversight from your own dentist like you have with professional products. Some of these products can actually cause problems such as damage to your enamel and increased sensitivity. If you have questions about these products, we are happy to answer them and show you why a professional whitening product is usually a better choice.
