Teeth Whitening NYC – Everything You Need to Know


In NYC, everyone wants to look their best, but with busy schedules people are always on the look-out for easy and effective ways to enhance their physical appearance - including whitening their teeth. 



What is Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening, sometimes referred to as tooth bleaching, is a popular process within cosmetic dentistry by which powerful bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide are applied to the teeth. After a few minutes, these bleaching agents penetrate the dentin layer of the tooth and then break down intrinsic and extrinsic stains that have accumulated on the teeth into smaller, less colored molecules causing the tooth to appear brighter.


Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening provides several benefits beyond the results of regular teeth cleaning. While teeth cleaning removes surface stains, professional teeth whitening targets deeper stains that have accumulated within the dentin layer of the tooth. Therefore by getting your teeth whitened in combination with regular teeth cleaning at your dentist, this can significantly boost the brightness of your smile and reveal the most white version of your teeth.


In addition, if you frequently enjoy foods and beverages that cause tooth staining, such as chocolate, wine, coffee, and matcha, teeth whitening offers an effective way to restore the brightness of your smile. It's also an excellent solution for individuals with uneven tooth coloring or staining due to smoking or wearing braces. 

Professional Teeth Whitening vs. At-Home Whitening

While at-home whitening kits such as Crest Whitening strips can be convenient and cheap, they take weeks or even months to show any results. Our latest whitening technology works much faster, giving you a noticeably whiter smile in just one session. Plus, by getting your teeth whitened at Beambar with professional trained whitening experts, you avoid the common pitfalls of at-home whitening solutions, such as uneven results or gum irritation.
