Teeth Whitening in Bucktown, Chicago

Your Trusted Home for Cosmetic and Family Dentist in Bucktown Chicago

Teeth color is one of the most important aspects of any smile. White and shiny teeth help make a person appear youthful, energetic and healthy. But when teeth become darkened and yellowed, it can bring about an older and tired appearance. As a result, it’s no surprise that millions of people seek out ways of whitening their teeth. Although different treatments options are available, nothing quite compares to professional teeth whitening services.

There are many causes of tooth discoloration, including:

  • Genetics and aging
  • Trauma and oral injury
  • Certain foods, beverages and medications
  • Inadequate oral hygiene

At NK Family Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that leave teeth noticeably whiter. Our patients are thrilled with the incredible results that help their teeth stand out in all the right ways. Just one treatment can make a huge difference in improving the appearance of your smile, providing you with the look you have always wanted.

Our practice is proud to offer patients the Zoom and Opalescence brands teeth whitening treatments. Both Zoom and Opalescence are highly respected in the dental community, having helped millions of people brighten their teeth and enhance their smiles. Just one treatment with Zoom or Opalescence can leave your teeth up to eight shades whiter, providing dramatic results.

A professional teeth whitening treatment starts by applying a hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the patient’s teeth. We then use light to activate this gel so that it produces oxygen. This oxygen will enter the enamel and the dentin of teeth, breaking down any unwanted stains and discolorations. The entire process usually takes less than an hour, and the results are instantaneous.
