Teeth Whitening
A lot of us feel self-conscious about tooth discoloration without even realizing it. Maybe it's a few too many cups of coffee, a love of red wine, or just the natural changes that come with age. Over time, even the healthiest smiles can start to look a little dull or stained. And sometimes, no amount of brushing or whitening toothpaste can fix it. At Dr. Dayna Cassandra's dental office in Paramus, NJ, we're here to help. We offer professional teeth whitening services that are safe, gentle, and really work. Our goal is to give you whiter teeth so you can feel confident, happy, and ready to show off your smile every day.
Dr. Dayna Cassandra and her team proudly offer teeth whitening services at our welcoming dental office in Paramus, NJ. We believe in personalized, patient-centered care, helping people from Bergen County, Rockland County, Manhattan, and beyond achieve a beautiful smile in a way that feels easy and supportive.
Professional teeth whitening lifts deep stains and brightens the natural color of your teeth using safe bleaching ingredients like hydrogen peroxide. It's a simple way to freshen up your smile without changing anything else about your teeth. If your teeth have picked up stains from coffee, red wine, certain foods, poor oral hygiene, or even certain medications, whitening treatment can make a big difference. At our office, we'll walk you through different teeth whitening options so you can pick the one that fits your life best.
We offer GLO Teeth Whitening, which uses gentle warming light and a special whitening gel to get faster, brighter results. It's great for people who want a big improvement without the discomfort that can come from over-the-counter kits. Plus, it's easy on your gums and soft tissues.
A whiter smile isn't just about looks. It can help you feel more like yourself again. Some perks of getting your teeth professionally whitened with us:
And because whitening is non-invasive, you won't have to worry about healing time or major changes to your daily routine.
Most adults who want a brighter smile are great candidates for teeth whitening. It works best for people who have:
If you have very sensitive teeth, severe enamel wear, or a lot of restorations, Dr. Cassandra will walk you through other safe and effective options to get you closer to your dream smile.
Your first step is a simple consultation with Dr. Cassandra. She'll check your teeth and gums, go over your health history, and listen to what you're hoping to achieve. Sometimes, a professional cleaning before whitening helps the treatment work better. We'll make sure you know exactly what to expect and how to prep for the best results.
During an in-office whitening procedure, we'll protect your gums and apply a professional-grade whitening gel.
We use special technology to activate the gel and help it reach deep stains. The appointment usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half. There's no drilling, no anesthesia, and no downtime—you'll leave with a noticeably brighter smile the same day. If you prefer to whiten at home, we also offer take-home kits with custom trays made just for you.
The good news is there's no real downtime with professional teeth whitening. Most people go right back to their normal day after their appointment. You might notice some mild tooth sensitivity or gum tenderness for a day or two. This is temporary and usually very manageable with over-the-counter products made for sensitive teeth.
You'll leave your appointment with visibly whiter teeth, and the results usually continue to improve over the next 24–48 hours. Most people see their smile brighten by 6–8 shades. How long the whitening lasts depends on your habits—good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks can help results last anywhere from six months to two years.
