As summer approaches, many of us start thinking about sunshine, vacations, and, of course, selfies. Whether you're planning a beach getaway or simply looking forward to brighter days, there’s one accessory that never goes out of style—a confident, white smile.

At Coconut Creek Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves to shine their brightest. That’s why May is the perfect time to explore professional teeth whitening options that are safe, effective, and tailored to your smile.

In this post, we’ll walk you through why teeth whitening is more than a cosmetic boost, how it works, and what makes Dr. Emmy Estenoz’s approach the trusted choice in Coconut Creek and nearby communities.

Why Consider Teeth Whitening This May?

May often signals a fresh start. Many of our patients find it’s the ideal moment to declutter their routines, refresh their appearance, and prioritize their health. Whitening your teeth isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a powerful way to feel good about yourself. When your smile is bright and healthy, it radiates confidence, whether you’re reconnecting with friends or heading into a big meeting.

For those who may be camera-shy or self-conscious about stained teeth, even one whitening session can make a meaningful difference in both appearance and self-esteem.

Why Professional Whitening Beats Store-Bought Kits

You’ve likely seen countless drugstore whitening products—strips, toothpastes, even LED lights you can use at home. While these options are marketed as affordable and convenient, they often fall short when it comes to noticeable and lasting results.

The truth is, over-the-counter kits contain weaker bleaching agents and are not customized to your smile. That means you may get uneven results, or worse, experience unnecessary gum irritation. We’ve had many patients come in after trying those products, frustrated by how little difference they saw.

Professional whitening, on the other hand, is safer and far more effective. Under the expert care of Dr. Emmy Estenoz, you’ll receive a treatment plan tailored to your goals, tooth sensitivity, and overall oral health.

At Coconut Creek Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, our professional-grade whitening treatments offer up to eight shades of improvement in just one session.

What to Expect from Your Whitening Appointment

When you book your whitening appointment at our Coconut Creek office, here’s what the process typically looks like:

1. Consultation and Exam

We’ll start with a thorough exam and full-mouth X-rays if needed. This ensures your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening and rules out issues like cavities or gum disease.

2. Customized Whitening Plan

Depending on your goals and sensitivity level, we’ll recommend either:

  • In-Office Whitening: Quick results in under an hour.
  • Take-Home Whitening Trays: Custom-fitted trays and gel for gradual whitening at home.

3. The Whitening Session

For in-office whitening, we apply a protective gel to your gums and then apply the professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. A special LED light activates the gel, lifting stains efficiently.

4. Post-Treatment Tips

After your session, we’ll give you tips on avoiding stain-causing foods (hello, iced coffee!) and how to maintain your radiant smile.

Is Whitening Safe for Everyone?

Whitening is safe for most healthy adults, but not always recommended for:

  • Patients with untreated cavities or gum issues
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Individuals with dental restorations in visible areas (these won’t whiten)

That’s why a professional exam is essential. We’ll make sure your teeth are a good match before proceeding.

Teeth Whitening & Smile Design: The Power Combo

If you’re considering a full smile upgrade, whitening is often the first step in the Smile Design process. By brightening your teeth first, we can better match any veneers, crowns, or bonding to your new shade.

Many of our patients combine whitening with:
