What whitening does
Whitening lifts surface stains and discoloration that build up over years of coffee, tea, wine, or just age. It's a cosmetic treatment, not a substitute for a cleaning, and it works best on teeth that are otherwise healthy.
Before You Start
Why we check first
Before recommending whitening, Dr. McCartney checks for cavities, worn enamel, or existing dental work that won't whiten the same way as natural teeth, so you know what to expect from the result before committing to it.
Keeping results looking good
Whitening isn't permanent. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco will gradually bring some staining back over time, so most patients touch up their results every so often rather than treating it as a one-time fix.
Highly recommended. Moved to the area and was hoping to find a private dental practice like I was previously seeing. The team is very welcoming, helpful and especially knowledgeable when dealing with insurance companies. Dr McCartney took the time to explain everything to keep my teeth healthy. Signing up my whole family.
