How to Maintain Your Teeth Whitening Results - Willoughby Dental in Greenville

An in-office teeth whitening treatment is one of the easiest and most effective ways you can improve the appearance of your smile. In as little as one hour, you can achieve whiter teeth and a more attractive smile. Teeth whitening can last for many years — so long as you take the following steps to prolong your results.

Avoid These Foods

Teeth whitening lifts stubborn stains and discolorati on, but it does not prevent future staining. For this reason, you should avoid or limit eating and drinking certain foods and beverages that can cause staining, including coffee, tea, red wine, dark chocolate, tomato sauce and beets. Smoking should also be avoided as it can drastically diminish teeth whitening results (and your oral health!). Our staff at Willoughby Dental in Greenville, SC can provide you with a more detailed list of foods and beverages to avoid after your teeth whitening treatment.

Practice Good Oral Health Care

Brushing and flossing regularly is just as important after teeth whitening as it was before. Maintaining good oral health, which includes brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing as least once a day, keeps your pearly whites in top shape. Routine dental checkups (every six months) with your dentist are also crucial in maintaining optimal oral health.

Join Our Complimentary Whitening for Life Program

As part of our ongoing commitment to helping our patients maintain beautiful and healthy smiles, our team is proud to offer “Whitening for Life,” a complimentary program for loyal patients. Every six months, at the time of their hygiene appointment, patients are provided with custom-made whitening trays to use in the comfort of their home. As long as you maintain good oral health, we will give you whitening trays so you can maintain your brighter smile for years to come!

Are You a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening supervised by one of our qualified hygienists is safe and effective. The treatment can address discoloration and stains as a result of:

Aging or genetic factors
Smoking or tobacco use
Dark-colored beverages (e.g., soda, coffee, tea and red wine)
Foods like tomato sauce, berries and beets
Use of certain prescription medications

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a newer patient to Willoughby Dental. I called on a Thursday morning and asked if they could see me later that afternoon as I was in pain. The receptionist was extremely kind and friendly, as she always is, and was able to find a spot to fit me into the schedule at the end of the day. I was extremely grateful since it was a last minute phone call and I was in pain.

Dr. Willoughby was friendly, as always, and assessed my issue. He and his assistant were able to fix my tooth Ina short amount of time. After the novacaine wore off, I was no longer in pain.

I am very grateful that Willoughby Dental is a flexible practice and was able to get me in because I was in pain. I have had dentists in the past that, even though I was in pain, they were not at all flexible and would  not fit me into the schedule to fix my issue.

I highly recommend Willoughby Dental. Dr. Willoughby is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He cares about his patients

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Warner is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to, both in professionalism and skill. I’ve unfortunately dealt with some unique dental issues, yet you’d never know it thanks to the comfort and care he and his team provide at every visit. They make you feel genuinely appreciated as a patient. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else!
