Did you know whiter teeth can lead to a happier life? Several studies show that there is a distinct correlation between having white teeth and having more self-confidence. Modern stain removal for teeth can help you achieve whiter teeth and a more confident smile. At Vibrant Rejuvenation Medi Spa in Commack, NY, we know that the DaVinci teeth whitening system is a good option for most people.
What Causes Staining?
Tooth discoloration can happen for several reasons, and many of them are part of daily life. Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sauces can leave stains. Smoking and tobacco use contribute to yellowing by allowing tar and nicotine to seep into the enamel. Aging naturally leads to staining as enamel thins and exposes the darker layer underneath. Even certain medications, medical conditions, and excessive fluoride exposure can affect tooth color. Regular brushing helps, but deep stains often need professional whitening to lift discoloration effectively.
DaVinci Teeth Whitening System
The DaVinci teeth whitening system is a revolutionary treatment used to cosmetically enhance the brightness of your teeth. This treatment can be used by most people and can significantly lift the color of the teeth, particularly the teeth in the smile line. The DaVinci system is unique because it can be completed very quickly and uses natural plant-based ingredients that cause fewer side effects than other teeth whitening systems.
How Stain Removal for Teeth Works
This treatment works by first cleaning the teeth to remove plaque and other debris. Then, a special plant-based gel will be applied to the teeth and allowed to sit for up to 60 minutes. While the gel is on the teeth, a special LED light system using cool laser technology will activate the gel to remove stains from the teeth. Once this process is complete, you will be able to rinse your mouth and be on your way with a brighter, whiter smile.
What Types of Stains Can We Treat With DaVinci?
There are two basic types of teeth stains. Extrinsic stains are those that come from lifestyle choices like color-rich foods and nicotine. Intrinsic stains are those that occur within the structure of the tooth itself. Teeth whitening is the most effective on external stains. Some whitening of intrinsic stains may be possible, but deeper and more severe intrinsic staining may not respond as effectively. We will let you know what results you can expect based on your type of staining.&
Why We Love DaVinci Teeth Whitening
No Preservatives
Many over-the-counter whitening products contain artificial preservatives that can lead to irritation or unnecessary exposure to chemicals. The DaVinci teeth whitening system avoids these additives, reducing the risk of sensitivity and making it a cleaner option for brightening your smile.
Less Sensitivity
Some whitening treatments cause discomfort by penetrating too deeply into the enamel, exposing nerve endings. DaVinci whitening uses a lower-peroxide concentration paired with a specialized LED light to accelerate results without excessive irritation. Most patients find they can eat and drink normally soon after treatment without lingering discomfort.
Food-Grade and Plant-Based Hydrogen Peroxide
Traditional whitening gels often rely on harsh chemicals that may cause inflammation or irritation. The hydrogen peroxide used in this treatment is derived from plant-based sources and meets food-grade standards. The gel effectively breaks down stains without introducing unnecessary toxins, and because it contains no unnecessary fillers, it limits exposure to synthetic additives that might lead to unwanted side effects.
Immediate Results
Professional whitening treatments often require multiple sessions to see a difference, but DaVinci’s system allows for visible brightening in just one visit. The LED light activation enhances the breakdown of stain molecules and leads to a whiter smile immediately after treatment.
What to Expect From the Treatment Process
Before starting your teeth whitening treatment, we will place a retractor in your mouth to keep your lips and cheeks away from your teeth. This helps ensure even application and prevents contact with the whitening gel. To protect your gums, we apply vitamin E oil, which creates a barrier and minimizes irritation.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply the whitening gel, which contains active enzymes that break down stains. An LED light is then positioned over your teeth to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process. The enzymes remain active for 20 minutes, at which point they naturally stop working. If additional whitening is needed, we will have you rinse and repeat the process, applying a fresh layer of gel and reactivating it with light. This can be done up to three consecutive sessions in one visit, depending on your goals.
Teeth Whitening Aftercare Instructions
Following your dental whitening treatment, drinking plenty of water can help reduce any temporary sensitivity. If you experience mild discomfort, sipping cool water throughout the day may provide relief.
You can eat two hours after treatment, but it’s best to avoid foods and drinks that contain strong pigments for the rest of the day. Beets, coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, and tomato-based sauces can stain the enamel while your teeth are still absorbing oxygen from the whitening process. Lighter-colored foods like chicken, rice, and potatoes are safer choices immediately after treatment. Brushing gently before bed will help maintain your results.
How DaVinci Teeth Whitening Compares to Other Methods
Over-the-counter options can help with whitening teeth, but they often take weeks to show minor improvements. Whitening strips and take-home kits use lower concentrations of peroxide, meaning they may only lighten surface stains without reaching deeper discoloration. Some at-home products also contain preservatives or artificial additives that may increase sensitivity.
Frequently Asked Questions About DaVinci Teeth Whitening
How Long Does Treatment Take?
The duration of your treatment will depend on how white you want your smile and how many stains are visible on your teeth. Some people may only need one 20-minute session to achieve their desired results, while those who have severe staining may need a full hour with The DaVinci system. We will be able to recommend the ideal duration for your treatment based on the condition of your teeth and your aesthetic goals.
How White Can Your Teeth Get?
The DaVinci system may be able to whiten your teeth up to 14 shades. On average, you will be able to whiten your teeth about five to eight shades with each treatment. The goal of this treatment is to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth. We will work with you to determine the ideal whiteness for your smile.
How Frequently Should You Have Treatments?
Your appointments will depend on your treatment goals. For some patients, it’s possible to achieve an optimal level of brightness with a single 60-minute appointment. For others, you may require shorter, more frequent treatments based on the health of your teeth. If you have sensitive teeth, severe staining, or other special circumstances, you may need two to five 20-minute appointments to achieve your optimal results.
How Can You Maintain Your Results?
Your results will generally last for several months or years, depending on how well you can maintain your results. There are a few key strategies that can be used to ensure your results will last for as long as possible. For example, you may want to use annual touch-up appointments to maintain your desired level of brightness. Some other strategies include:
Good Oral Hygiene
Good oral hygiene is the best way to maintain your desired results. When you brush your teeth twice a day, for example, you can remove plaque and tartar build-up that can contribute to tooth discoloration. Using a Waterpik can also remove bacterial and oral debris that can cause staining. You should also be sure to attend all of your regular dental cleanings with your dentist to maintain good oral health.
Be Aware of Staining
You must also be aware of factors that can cause staining or discoloration on the teeth. For example, activities like smoking tobacco or using tobacco products can stain the teeth over several months and years, so discontinuing the use of these products can be helpful.
Beverages such as wine and coffee can also contribute to tooth discoloration. If you drink wine and coffee, then you should be sure to brush your teeth after drinking these beverages or at least use a whitening chewing gum that can help you maintain your results.
Consider Whitening Toothpaste
Using whitening toothpaste every day may also be able to help you maintain your desired level of tooth whiteness. Although whitening toothpaste alone is not enough to significantly lift the shade of your teeth, using whitening toothpaste can go a long way to preventing new discoloration or at least slowing down natural staining that happens over time.
Will This Treatment Cause Sensitivity?
One of the biggest advantages of the DaVinci treatment for stain removal for teeth is the fact that it will not typically cause any sensitivity. Other systems to whiten the teeth use strong chemicals that may wear down enamel and cause tooth sensitivity. The DaVinci system, on the other hand, uses plant-based ingredients that help build the enamel barrier while also preventing excessive sensitivity. If you do experience any sensitivity, it will usually resolve itself within 24 or 48 hours.
Can This Treatment Be Used on Crowns or Fillings?
This treatment, along with many other treatments to remove stains from the teeth, can be safely used on crowns and fillings. The system can effectively remove stains on crowns and fillings to restore the natural color of the compound used on your teeth. However, crowns and fillings cannot be whitened beyond their original color.
Do DaVinci Treatments Damage Enamel?
DaVinci teeth whitening is designed to be gentle on enamel while effectively lifting stains. The plant-based hydrogen peroxide formula works by breaking down discoloration without the harsh abrasives found in some over-the-counter products. Since it does not weaken enamel or strip away layers of the tooth, it is a safe option for brightening your smile.
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
The cost of achieving whiter teeth varies based on the number of sessions needed to reach your desired brightness. Some patients see results in a single session, while others may require multiple treatments for deeper stains. For specific pricing, we can discuss options during a consultation.
