A bright, white smile can significantly boost a young person’s self-esteem and confidence. We offer professional teeth whitening services that are specifically tailored to the unique needs of developing smiles. While over-the-counter products can be unpredictable, our clinical whitening treatments are safe, effective, and supervised by pediatric specialists.

Why Choose Professional Whitening for Your Teen?

Children and teenagers often experience tooth discoloration due to diet, medications, or the natural transition from “milky” white baby teeth to slightly more yellow permanent teeth. Our team ensures that whitening is performed only when it is clinically appropriate, protecting your child’s enamel and gum health throughout the process.

Types of Professional Whitening We Offer

1. In-Office Power Whitening

For the fastest and most dramatic results, we offer in-office professional whitening.

• The Process: A high-concentration whitening gel is applied to the teeth under strict clinical supervision. We use specialized barriers to protect your child’s gums from sensitivity.

• The Benefit: This is an ideal option for busy teens or for those preparing for a special event like a graduation or school photos. It provides a noticeably brighter smile in just one visit.

2. Custom-Fit Take-Home Trays

For those who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort of home, we provide custom-fabricated whitening kits.

• The Process: We use our iTero digital scanner to create a 3D model of your child’s teeth, which is then used to make custom-fit trays. You are provided with a professional-grade whitening gel to use as directed.

• The Benefit: Unlike store-bought “one-size-fits-all” strips, these custom trays ensure even coverage and keep the gel away from the sensitive gum tissue, providing a more comfortable and uniform result.

3. Post-Orthodontic Whitening

A popular choice for our patients finishing their braces or Invisalign journey! Once the brackets are removed, we can provide a whitening treatment to even out the tooth color and give that new, straight smile an extra “wow” factor.

Is My Child a Candidate for Whitening?

We take a conservative approach to whitening. To ensure safety, we typically recommend waiting until:

• All Permanent Teeth are Present: Usually around age 14 or older.

• Healthy Enamel: We ensure there are no cavities or gum inflammation before beginning treatment.

• No Sensitivity: We assess the child’s history of tooth sensitivity to choose the correct whitening concentration.

The Advantage of Clinical Supervision

Over-the-counter whitening kits can often be too abrasive or lead to significant tooth sensitivity if used incorrectly. By choosing Dr. Dina Dental Clinic, you are ensuring that your child’s whitening treatment is monitored for safety, ensuring beautiful results without compromising the health of their teeth.
