Teeth whitening is a safe, noninvasive cosmetic treatment that removes stains and brightens discoloured teeth. In just one visit, it can help you achieve a noticeably whiter, more confident smile.
Teeth Whitening Treatments
A bright, white smile can leave a lasting impression, and at Prime Smile Dental Clinic in NYC, we’re here to help you achieve just that. Our professional teeth whitening treatments are safe, effective, and tailored to your goals. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or want to refresh your appearance, our whitening solutions can remove years of surface stains caused by coffee, wine, smoking, or natural ageing.
Unlike over-the-counter products, our treatments use high-grade materials and are administered under dental supervision, ensuring noticeable results without harming your enamel or irritating your gums.
Why Choose Teeth Whitening?
Discolouration is one of the most common concerns patients have about their teeth. Even with daily brushing, certain foods, drinks, and habits can dull the natural brightness of your smile over time. Professional whitening can:
- Instantly brighten your smile
- Boost self-confidence in personal and professional settings
- Help you look more youthful and refreshed
- Address stubborn stains that drugstore products can’t reach
- Deliver safer, more predictable results under expert care
At Prime Smile, we understand that a whiter smile is about more than aesthetics — how you feel when you walk out the door.
What to Expect During Treatment
We offer two types of teeth whitening: in-office treatment and custom take-home kits.
In-office Whitening:
This option delivers fast, dramatic results. The treatment usually takes around 60–90 minutes. We begin by protecting your gums and applying a professional-strength whitening gel to the teeth. A specialised light activates the gel, breaking down deep stains and lifting discolouration. Patients often see their teeth lighten several shades in just one session.
Take-home Kits:
If you prefer whitening at your own pace, we’ll provide custom trays and a safe, dentist-recommended gel. This option is excellent for maintaining results after in-office treatment or gradually improving over one to two weeks.
Our expert dentist team will guide you through the best option based on your goals, lifestyle, and sensitivity level.
Is It Right for You?
Teeth whitening is an excellent option for most adults looking to improve the appearance of their smile without undergoing complex procedures. It’s particularly effective for surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, or simply the natural ageing process. Professional whitening can make a dramatic difference in just one visit if your teeth are healthy but have lost their brightness.
This treatment is safe and noninvasive and works best for patients with natural tooth enamel. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or large fillings on your front teeth, whitening will not change their colour, although we can discuss cosmetic options to help you achieve an even tone across your smile.
Teeth whitening may also not be recommended if you have active tooth decay, gum disease, worn enamel, or very sensitive teeth. In these cases, we’ll address those issues first and create a treatment plan that protects your comfort and long-term oral health.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and help you decide if whitening is the right choice — or if another option might give you better, longer-lasting results.
Why Prime Smile Dental Clinic is the Best for Teeth Whitening
At Prime Smile Dental Clinic, we don’t just offer teeth whitening — we deliver results that feel personal, comfortable, and worth your time. Our attention to detail and how we tailor every treatment to fit your unique smile sets us apart. We use proven whitening systems, handle everything in a safe, controlled environment, and always take the time to explain what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.
Our experienced team is focused on more than just brightening your teeth — we care about your comfort, long-term oral health, and confidence. From flexible scheduling to a clean, modern clinic designed to help you feel at ease, everything we do is centred around your experience.
Many of our patients choose us because they’ve tried over-the-counter products with little to no success. Others come in nervous and leave smiling, not just because of the results but also because of how they were treated. If you’re looking for reliable, dentist-led whitening that actually works, you’re in the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Results typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. Avoiding staining foods, drinks, and tobacco helps extend the whitening effect.
2. Is teeth whitening safe for my enamel?
Yes. When performed by a dentist, teeth whitening is completely safe. We use clinically tested products that remove stains without damaging your enamel or gum tissue.
3. Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, especially in the first 24–48 hours. We use desensitising formulas and offer personalised care to minimise discomfort.
4. How white will my teeth get?
On average, patients see an improvement of 2 to 5 shades. Results vary based on the natural tooth colour and the type of staining, but most people notice a visible difference immediately.
5. Can I whiten crowns, veneers, or fillings?
No. Whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel. If your dental work doesn’t match your whitened teeth, we can recommend aesthetic updates for a consistent look.
6. How soon after whitening can I eat or drink?
For the best results, avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, tea, and dark sauces for at least 24–48 hours after treatment. Stick to water and lighter foods during this period.
