With professional teeth whitening, you can enjoy a whiter, brighter smile! Professional treatments are more effective and last longer than over-the-counter options. As patients age, the teeth can become stained. In just one session, our dentists can help you whiten your teeth from five to seven shades. However, the best way to keep your teeth white is by practicing good at-home care. Avoiding foods and drinks that cause stains, like coffee and cola, can also help your whitening treatment last. Additional at-home medication can also help whiten your teeth. Find out more about teething whitening in Washington, DC, and call 202-362-3353 to arrange an appointment with Dr. Akram Sannaa.
