“WHAT IS THE SECRET TO A BRIGHTER SMILE?”
We know that a true smile shines from within, but to make is shine even brighter, try Professional Teeth Whitening offered here at Pure Dentistry in Palos Heights.
A confident smile can light up a room — and at Pure Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves to feel proud of theirs.
Over time, everyday habits like coffee, tea, or wine (and even natural aging) can cause your teeth to lose
their sparkle.
If you’ve been thinking about whitening your teeth, here’s everything you need to know about the safest,
most effective ways to achieve a noticeably brighter smile.
Why Do Teeth Become Stained?
There are two main types of tooth discoloration:
Extrinsic stains – caused by foods, drinks, and smoking that affect the outer layer of enamel.
Intrinsic stains – deeper discoloration that can result from medications, trauma, or natural enamel wear over time.
Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, stains can build up — which is why professional teeth whitening
offers such a big boost.
Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Store-Bought Kits?
You’ve probably seen whitening strips and toothpaste at your local store.
While these can help with light surface stains, they don’t deliver the same results as a treatment performed by your dentist.
* Customized to your teeth: At Pure Dentistry, we assess your tooth shade and sensitivity before creating a personalized whitening plan.
* Stronger, faster results: Professional-grade whitening solutions safely remove years of stains in just one visit or with take-home trays.
* Reduced sensitivity: Our whitening gels include desensitizing ingredients to keep your smile comfortable.
* Even, natural-looking brightness: No patchy or uneven results like many DIY products cause.
What to Expect at Your Whitening Appointment
1. Consultation: We evaluate your smile and discuss your goals.
2. Preparation: A gentle cleaning ensures no plaque or debris interferes with results.
3. Whitening treatment: We apply a safe, professional-strength gel that lifts stains effectively.
4. Smile reveal: You’ll see immediate improvement — often 5–8 shades lighter!
We’ll also provide aftercare tips to help you maintain your results at home.
How to Keep Your Smile Bright After Whitening
* Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces for 48 hours after whitening.
* Brush and floss daily using a gentle whitening toothpaste. Some patients report having great result with toothpaste containing Nano-hydroxyapatite(nHA)
* Schedule regular cleanings at Pure Dentistry.
* Consider touch-up treatments once or twice a year.
