Brighten Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening
A whiter, more radiant smile can enhance confidence and leave a lasting impression. At Model Dentistry in Baton Rouge, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments to help patients achieve noticeably brighter smiles.

We proudly serve patients in Central, Denham Springs, Zachary, Baker, and surrounding areas, offering both in-office and take-home whitening treatments customized to individual needs.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over time, teeth can become discolored due to factors such as:
- Coffee, tea, wine, and dark-colored foods
- Tobacco use
- Aging and natural enamel wear
- Certain medications
- Poor oral hygiene
While store-bought whitening kits may provide minimal results, professional whitening treatments at Model Dentistry use advanced formulas and techniques to safely lift deep stains and restore a brighter appearance.
Teeth Whitening Options at Model Dentistry
We provide two highly effective whitening solutions:
In-Office Whitening
For patients looking for immediate results, in-office whitening is the fastest and most powerful way to achieve a brighter smile. This procedure typically takes about an hour and can lighten teeth by several shades in a single visit. A professional-strength whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated by a special light to break down stains and discoloration.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer to whiten their teeth gradually, we offer custom-fitted whitening trays and professional-grade whitening gel. These take-home kits allow patients to achieve professional results at their own convenience. With consistent use over a few weeks, take-home whitening can provide significant brightening and long-lasting effects.
What to Expect from Teeth Whitening Treatment
- Consultation & Evaluation – Our dentists assess your oral health and determine the best whitening option for you.
- Preparation & Application – For in-office treatments, a protective barrier is placed on the gums before applying the whitening gel.
- Whitening Process – A specialized light may be used to accelerate the whitening effects.
- Post-Treatment Care – After the session, we provide instructions on maintaining your brighter smile.
How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?
The longevity of whitening results depends on lifestyle habits and oral hygiene. With proper care, professional whitening can last anywhere from six months to two years. To maintain your results:
- Limit consumption of stain-causing foods and beverages
- Avoid tobacco use
- Maintain a good oral hygiene routine with regular brushing and flossing
- Schedule professional cleanings to remove surface stains
For patients looking for ongoing brightness, touch-up treatments with take-home kits can help prolong results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Most patients with healthy teeth and gums are eligible for whitening. However, whitening may not be suitable for individuals with:
- Severe tooth sensitivity
- Restorations such as dental crowns, veneers, or fillings that do not respond to whitening agents
- Deep intrinsic stains from certain medications or fluorosis
If whitening is not the best option for you, our team may recommend alternative cosmetic treatments such as veneers or a smile makeover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional whitening treatments are safe when administered by a dentist. Our whitening formulas are designed to minimize sensitivity and protect enamel.
Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients may experience mild sensitivity after treatment, but this usually subsides within a few days. We offer sensitivity-reducing solutions to make the process more comfortable.
How white can my teeth get?
Results vary depending on the level of staining, but most patients can expect their teeth to be several shades whiter after treatment.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings or crowns?
Whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel. If you have crowns or dental fillings, we can discuss alternative cosmetic options to match your desired shade.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
To avoid enamel damage, we recommend spacing professional whitening treatments several months apart. Touch-ups with take-home kits can be done as needed.
