Teeth Whitening in Boca Raton
Certain substances including tea, wine, and tobacco, can stain your natural teeth. At Mateo Dental, we offer two kinds of professional teeth whitening to brighten your smile, in-office bleaching and take-home trays. Professional whitening is perfect if you'd like to refresh your smile before an upcoming event, such as a reunion, anniversary party, or wedding.
Call to ScheduleIn-Office Whitening
Dr. Mateo will apply a highly concentrated bleaching gel to your teeth and use a special light to activate the material. In-office whitening typically takes about 90 minutes, and the results are visible immediately. Professional whitening can last months with proper oral hygiene.


Take-Home Whitening Trays
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, we offer whitening trays. The trays are custom-made to fit your mouth and contain a high-grade whitening gel. You wear the trays every day for a couple of weeks to gradually whiten your smile.
FAQs

How can I keep my teeth bright after a whitening treatment?

What’s the difference between in-office and take-home whitening treatments?
Both options are more effective than over the counter options. In-office treatment uses a higher concentration gel and a light to speed up the process. It is more expensive, but it works faster and provides immediate results. Take-home trays are more cost effective, but it takes a week or so to start seeing results.
"I was a new emergency patient. I was given an appointment hours later and met Dr. Mateo in his impressive office. I was extremely impressed with his advanced equipment, knowledge, skill and his very friendly and assuring demeanor. This is a young man who exhibits all the traits of a top dentist. If you choose to use him as your dentist, you will not be disappointed. I rate him 5+."
