Teeth Whitening – Instantly Brighten Your Smile
AmeriDental offers professional in-office whitening in North Brunswick and Hillsborough, NJ—providing safe, fast, and dramatic results for a confident, radiant smile.
What Is Teeth Whitening and Why Is It Needed?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes stains and discoloration, revealing a brighter, whiter smile. Common causes of staining include aging, smoking, poor oral hygiene, and consumption of coffee, tea, wine, and soda. Even healthy teeth can become dull as enamel thins over time.
At AmeriDental, our professional whitening treatments deliver noticeable results in just one session. Unlike over-the-counter options, our in-office procedures are customized to your smile and performed by experienced cosmetic dentists for maximum safety and effectiveness.
What to Expect During the Whitening Procedure
Step-by-Step Process
- Consultation and Evaluation: We begin with a thorough exam and discussion of your goals. Whitening is most effective on natural enamel and may not affect crowns or veneers.
- Preparation: Your teeth are cleaned, and your gums and lips are protected with a special barrier gel or retractor.
- Application of Whitening Gel: We apply a high-strength hydrogen or carbamide peroxide gel. Many treatments use light-activation for enhanced results.
- Activation and Monitoring: LED or laser light may be used to activate the gel. Treatment typically lasts 15–20 minutes and may be repeated during the same visit.
- Rinse and Results: The gel is removed, and we assess your final shade. Most patients see results immediately—up to 8 shades lighter.

Post-Treatment Care
There is no downtime after in-office whitening. Mild sensitivity may occur but typically resolves within 24–48 hours. For best results, follow these care tips:
- Avoid staining foods and beverages for 24–48 hours post-treatment
- Brush with a fluoride or whitening toothpaste
- Use a straw for colored drinks
- Schedule maintenance sessions every 6–12 months if needed
We also offer custom take-home whitening trays for ongoing care under professional supervision.
