Teeth Whitening in St. Louis Park, MN

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Store-bought whitening kits often deliver uneven results and can cause sensitivity or irritation if not used properly. At Creekside Dental, we offer a supervised whitening experience using high-concentration gels that brighten your teeth faster and more evenly than any DIY method.

Common reasons patients choose teeth whitening include:

• Yellowing from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco
• Discoloration due to aging or medication
• Stains from foods like berries or tomato-based sauces
• A desire for a more confident, polished appearance
• Whitening before other cosmetic procedures like veneers or Invisalign

Whitening is also a popular finishing touch to a larger smile makeover, giving patients the bright, clean look that completes their transformation.

In-Office Whitening for Fast, Noticeable Results

Our in-office whitening treatment is ideal if you’re looking for immediate improvement. During the procedure, we apply a professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light to accelerate the brightening process.

In just one visit, you can achieve a smile that’s several shades lighter — with minimal to no sensitivity.

Benefits of in-office whitening:

• Immediate results in about an hour
• Safely monitored by our clinical team
• Reduced risk of gum or tooth irritation
• Perfect before weddings, interviews, or photos

Take-Home Whitening Kits for Gradual Brightening

Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? We also offer custom take-home whitening kits. These include professional-grade gel and custom-fitted trays that are far more effective than store-bought options.

You’ll wear the trays for a set period each day — usually 10–14 days — and notice a gradual, natural-looking improvement.

Take-home whitening is a great option for:

• Patients with sensitive teeth
• Long-term whitening maintenance
• Those who prefer to whiten gradually over time
• Refreshing results after an in-office treatment

Our team will provide detailed instructions and support so you get the best results safely at home.

How to Maintain Your Bright New Smile

After whitening, you can maintain your results longer by avoiding certain foods and drinks, maintaining excellent oral hygiene, and scheduling routine dental cleanings.

Here are a few simple tips:

• Brush and floss daily
• Avoid or rinse after coffee, tea, wine, and dark berries
• Use a straw when drinking dark beverages
• Avoid tobacco products
• Consider touch-up whitening every 6–12 months

We’ll guide you on how to care for your smile post-treatment and recommend when you might need a refresher session.

Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for whitening. However, whitening may not be effective on all types of stains — such as those caused by trauma, fluorosis, or certain medications. In those cases, we may recommend alternative cosmetic treatments like veneers or dental bonding.

Before beginning whitening, we’ll complete a full exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. If needed, we'll address any fillings, cleanings, or oral health treatments first.
