Tooth whitening is the No. 1 requested and performed cosmetic dental procedure. Tooth whitening is a procedure that lightens teeth up to nine shades by removing stains and discoloration.
A thin coating forms on your teeth throughout the day, which attracts stains. The tooth's enamel contains pores that hold stains. Cavities need to be treated before teeth are whitened because the whitening solution can penetrate decay and reach inner areas of the tooth, which can cause tooth sensitivity. Receding gums can cause roots to become exposed. Whitening will not work on exposed tooth roots, because roots do not have an enamel layer. Whitening also does not work on tooth restorations, such as crowns or veneers.
Whitening can be done in the dental office or at home.
Powerful Home Whitening Kits
The most common type of home tooth whitening involves placing a gel-like whitening solution, which usually contains hydrogen peroxide, in a tray that resembles a night guard or mouth guard. Over-the-counter mouthpieces are unlikely to fit correctly and can cause gum irritation if the whitening agent seeps out. The tray is then placed over the teeth for a certain period of time, anywhere from an hour or two to overnight.
Single Visit Whitening vs. Home Whitening
Today, whitening your teeth can be done using a variety of products and services. Do-it-yourself at-home whitening kits are available at your local supermarket and are an effective way to whiten teeth, but they require frequent applications for weeks at a time to achieve a whiter smile. Our whitening system uses a specialized concentrated whitening gel that you can't find in supermarkets and is activated by using a powerful whitening light that is also not available to the general public. Single-visit whitening is done in the dental office and only requires one dental visit compared to nightly whitening applications from an at-home whitening kit.
Any form of teeth whitening can achieve great results. Single-visit whitening enables those with time-sensitive occasions such as a wedding, reunion, etc. to whiten their teeth quickly. However, home whitening is an extremely affordable whitening method you can do yourself!

Ball Dentistry Reviews
I visited Ball Dentistry last week for a crown and had an excellent experience from start to finish. They were able to complete the entire crown in a single visit using their in-office scanner and milling technology, which was incredibly impressive and convenient.Dr. Craig and his assistant Misty were fantastic. They were professional, friendly, and very attentive throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how comfortable the procedure was. It was honestly the least uncomfortable dental experience I have ever had.If you are looking for modern dental care that combines advanced technology with great patient care, I highly recommend Ball Dentistry.
Always very helpful and professional.
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Weathers was very thorough and answered all my questions and concerns. I will be having my dental appointment at their office. Very kind
Love, love, love this dentist! My son and I have been patients here for at least a decade- truly wonderful people that offer top notch care and will not try to upsell you anything. Dr. Weathers and his staff are incredible. Hands down best dental care I’ve ever had in my life.
Always a great experience. They make you feel at ease. They did an awesome job with making my two upper front teeth straight across. Dr Weathers and his assistant go above and beyond.

In-Office Whitening Procedure
- Preparation - We start the whitening process by covering your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. At this time, we can usually estimate how white your new smile will be by matching your teeth with a whitening shade and estimate approximately up to eight shades whiter from here.
- Application - Next, a high-strength whitening gel is applied to the surfaces of your teeth. This special gel is specifically designed to work with the whitening light.
- Whitening - The whitening light is placed directly in front of your teeth to maximize exposure to the gel. The special light activates the gel, which gently penetrates the outermost (enamel) layer of your teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration during the process.
- Smile - Smile with confidence as you leave the office with a brighter, whiter smile!
