Teeth Whitening in Puyallup, WA
In-Office Whitening
After approximately 90 minutes of utilizing our in office professional teeth whitening system called Opalescence Boost, you can achieve 3-5 shades lighter teeth instantly. This can help remove years of staining from coffee, smoking, and other stains. When you purchase in office whitening, you will also get a digital scan that same day. One week later we will have your custom-fitted whitening trays and whitening gel so you can maintain your freshly enhanced smile.

Custom Whitening Trays
We take a digital scan to create whitening trays that are custom fit to your teeth. This ultimately leads to a better result than store-bought whitening formulas.
Management of Sensitivity
It is common to experience some minimal sensitivity when whitening your teeth. We protect the gums and lips during treatment and may use vitamin E oil to soothe the surrounding soft tissues. Desensitizing toothpaste and customized treatment protocols can help manage temporary tooth sensitivity.
Long Term Results
The custom trays that you will receive will allow years of maintaining your whitened teeth. By getting a simple refill syringe of whitening solution from us every few months, you will be able to keep your smile fresh for years to come.
Controlled Gel Formula
We use the highest quality whitening solution from Opalescence to ensure safety and efficiency. We will give you instructions about how to use the gel properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Teeth Whitening in Puyallup, WA
-
Teeth whitening is a simple and popular way to achieve a smile makeover. While the process is straightforward, when done incorrectly or without proper products, there is risk of whitening hurting teeth. When visiting us at Ascend Dental, the process is supervised, and treatment can be adjusted to your oral health and preferences to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the process. Whether you choose to whiten teeth in-office or at-home, our office provides both options!
-
Sensitivity after whitening is common. Teeth tend to be sensitive to high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and other bleaching agents. This sensitivity typically fades within 48 hours after whitening. Using desensitizing toothpaste and sticking to room temperature food and beverages can help ease the discomfort. If sensitivity lasts longer or interferes with daily activities, contact our office so our dentist can help find a solution for you.
-
In most cases, results can last from six months to a year. The longevity of your newly whitened teeth is determined by factors like which treatment you opted for and how you’ve cared for your teeth after treatment. Both of our professional services can have longer-lasting results than store-bought kits due to the high concentration gel and professional application. Avoiding highly pigmented food and drinks, using a whitening toothpaste, and following good oral hygiene can help increase the lifespan of your newly white teeth. To learn more, call our office or set up an appointment to visit our dentist near you!
-
Professional whitening works best for yellowing and staining caused by aging, coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. Some intrinsic stains caused by medications, trauma, fluorosis, or tooth development may respond less predictably. In those situations, bonding or porcelain veneers may provide a more predictable cosmetic result.
-
Teeth whitening only changes the color of natural tooth structure. Existing crowns, veneers, and most tooth-colored fillings will not whiten. Some modern composite materials may continue to blend with the surrounding tooth, but visible restorations may need to be replaced after whitening if they no longer match.
