Teeth Whitening
It's never too late to refine your smile!
About Teeth Whitening
If you've noticed discoloration, staining, or yellowing on your enamel, there is a cosmetic dentistry method that can visibly brighten your smile: teeth whitening.
Whitening uses a hydrogen peroxide treatment to bleach your teeth. It can lighten your enamel up to several shades, giving you a brilliant new smile.
Whitening treatment can also be tailored to suit your needs. Serving the Philadelphia area, Artistic Expressions Dentistry in Doylestown, PA, offers in-office and at-home options, as well a choice that combines them both.
Teeth Whitening Before and After
Have you attempted to whiten your teeth, only to see little to no results? You don't have to wait for more advanced technology. It's already here!
"Teeth whitening is probably the single most requested service that we get here at Artistic Expressions Dentistry. It's also probably the least expensive way you can permanently change the way you look." Dr. Wilderman
Can't I Use Over-the-Counter Whitening Products?
Many tooth whitening patients start off with over-the-counter treatments, like whitening strips, toothpastes, and rinses. While they may follow all instructions to the letter, they might not see substantial results.
This isn't because whitening doesn't work. It's because whitening strips and other over-the-counter whitening treatments are weaker than dentist-directed ones.
If you have tried to lift stubborn stains with over-the-counter options, only to be discouraged by a lack of results, we have good news for you.
Dr. Wilderman may be able to visibly brighten your teeth at his Philadelphia-area office. He offers a variety of in-office and take-home whitening treatments too, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs.
Tired of Trying to Brighten Your Smile on Your Own? Enlist the Teeth Whitening Experts!
There's no foolproof way to protect your enamel from staining and discoloration. Even if you avoid acidic drinks, refrain from smoking, and never drink that morning coffee, your teeth will likely darken as you age.
That doesn't mean you're stuck with a dull smile.
Dr. Wilderman at Artistic Expressions Dentistry serving Philadelphia, PA, can whiten your smile with at-home or in-office teeth whitening. He offers multiple bleaching options, like KöR, Zoom!®, and Brite Smile®, so that you can finally grin with confidence again.

I've been to many dentists throughout my life but none as talented, professional, and thoughtful as Dr. Wilderman. He's been my dentist for the past 15 years and I would never go anywhere else. He and his staff are wonderful. Highly recommend for standard checkups and restorative work.

Each person has different teeth whitening goals — and different teeth. Dr. Wilderman will go over both of these factors during your consultation, explaining the possibilities and potential limitations of whitening treatment.
Type of Staining Determines Treatment Options
The type of discoloration affecting your enamel will impact your choice of whitening system.
Yellow Teeth
Younger, translucent, and yellow teeth are the easiest to brighten. Our at-home whitening treatments are often a great option for this type of staining.
Gray Teeth
Older, opaque, or gray teeth often require extra time and solution to lighten. This staining may benefit from our most advanced teeth whitening systems.

View on GoogleThe Advantages of Our Whitening Trays Over Whitening Strips
At our Philadelphia practice, we have several different kinds of teeth bleaching trays to choose from. They are a superior option to whitening strips because of their:
Custom Design
Customers choosing over-the-counter bleaching options will always get the same standard whitening strips. Our whitening trays are custom fit to your mouth for better results.
Complete Coverage
It can take some careful work to make sure that your whitening strips actually cover each tooth, easily leading you to miss spots or create uneven bleaching. Our whitening trays don't have that problem.
Secure Placement
Anyone who has ever worn whitening strips knows how difficult it can be to keep them in place over each tooth. With whitening trays, you can wear them overnight without ever having to worry about shifting.
Deciding Between In-Office and At-Home Treatment
There's a formula for tooth whitening. It takes a combination of time and intensity to whiten your smile. That formula is one of the main factors that differentiate in-office and at-home treatment. We'll go through the merits of both to ensure your cosmetic dentistry treatment fits your needs and lifestyle.
Whitening From a Trusted Dentist
At-home and in-office whitening also share a common benefit: peace of mind. Dr. Wilderman is an expert — and he's got this handled. Whether you still need a little more info or you've picked out your favorite option, we can't wait to help you whiten your smile. Reach out to Artistic Expressions Dentistry in Doylestown, PA, serving the Philadelphia area, or call us at (215) 340-1199.
Brite Smile Tooth Whitening
If you want to brighten your enamel by up to nine shades, Brite Smile can offer remarkable teeth whitening results. Brite Smile combines a whitening gel and activating light to bleach your teeth.
This option gives you flexibility, as you can choose between in-office treatment or an at-home whitening kit, complete with custom trays and whitening gel. If you need quick yet dazzling results, consider in-office sessions. They can take just one hour to complete.
As for at-home sessions, you can achieve a whiter smile on your own timeline, wearing custom gel-filled trays for two hours at a time. Usually, your dentist-directed schedule will take a few weeks to finish.
Kör Whitening Deep Bleaching
Kör Whitening Deep Bleaching provides an effective whitening system to noticeably brighten your smile by up to 16 shades.
Preparation
One way Kör stands out from the pack? Its refrigerated gel, which creates consistently bright results. It also combines both at-home and in-office treatment, giving you the best of both options. Plus, for those who worry about discomfort, this option creates minimal sensitivity — or none at all! If you decide on the Kör whitening treatment, Dr. Wilderman will fit you with custom whitening trays for at-home use. He'll also go over the instructions, so you know what to do during the process.
Treatment
Once you get home, you can begin your treatment. You'll fill the trays with a refrigerated hydrogen peroxide whitening gel and place them over your teeth for overnight wear. After two weeks, you'll return to the office for the next phase of your whitening treatment. There, Dr. Wilderman will brighten your teeth with extra-strength hydrogen peroxide. Though it's possible you may have to repeat this process, many patients experience dramatically rejuvenated smiles the first time around.
Zoom! Tooth Whitening
Zoom! Tooth Whitening allows you the flexibility of choosing an effective at-home or in-office treatment.
Zoom presents a quick yet noticeable whitening treatment. Not to mention, its lower cost helps it fit better into your budget. If you want dramatic results in a short timeframe, consider in-office treatment. Your Zoom! whitening session could take just 45 minutes.
During the appointment, Dr. Wilderman will alternate between applying a whitening solution and shining an LED light upon your enamel. This simple, virtually painless process easily activates the solution. It also allows him to monitor your enamel as it brightens, so that you can receive the best and safest results.
Or, you could always opt for at-home whitening. This method uses whitening trays designed to fit your teeth, as well as a whitening gel. Depending on what Dr. Wilderman recommends at your consultation, you could wear your Zoom! trays for as little as half an hour per day for several weeks.

What to Expect During an In-Office Treatment
Though the specifics of your in-office treatment may differ depending on the product you've chosen, your teeth whitening appointment will involve these general steps:
Whitening uses a hydrogen peroxide treatment to bleach your teeth. It can lighten your enamel up to several shades, giving you a brilliant new smile.
Preventing Tooth Discoloration Make Your Results Last
It's virtually impossible to go through life without eventually noticing a change in your enamel. Even if you somehow brush perfectly every time and follow the ideal tooth-healthy diet, you're still susceptible to one of the most common staining factors: aging. So, as you look through these causes of stained enamel, don't think of them as problems. Instead, think of them as stepping stones to the solution: a brighter smile.
Additionally, knowing the causes of tooth discoloration can help you maximize the longevity of your exquisite new results. The causes of enamel changes you can control include:
- Drinking liquids that stain, such as red wine, tea, and coffee
- Eating highly pigmented foods, such as dark berries, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar
- Forgetting to brush and floss regularly and properly
- Using tobacco products
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
/
At our practice, teeth whitening typically costs between $150 and $500. This range varies because we offer so many excellent options, and because some patients may need multiple treatments.
Teeth Whitening FAQ
Does teeth whitening hurt?
You should feel little to no discomfort using Brite Smile, Kör, and Zoom. However, if you have particularly sensitive teeth, you may prefer at-home whitening. This type of bleaching uses a less concentrated solution, which may alleviate any negative sensations.
Will I have support with at-home whitening kits?
Yes: each method will come with instructions. The Kör system even includes a DVD. Additionally, Dr. Wilderman can answer all your concerns during your consultation. Remember, though you're wearing the whitening trays at home, Artistic Expressions Dentistry is always here to help.
Do you offer financing for teeth bleaching?
Yes, we do feature financing options at our Philadelphia-area practice. Artistic Expressions Dentistry accepts CareCredit® to make the process easier and more affordable for our patients.
