Teeth Whitening
Excelsior, MN Dentist
Even healthy teeth can dull over time from coffee, wine, aging, or daily life. At Excelsior Family Dental, professional whitening refreshes your natural smile safely and comfortably, helping it shine up to 8 shades brighter in a single visit, so you feel great sharing it.
Why Choose Professional Whitening?
A brighter smile often feels more youthful and approachable, boosting confidence from photos to conversations. Research shows whitening improves self-confidence without changing your unique smile, a simple, positive step patients love.
Patients choose in-office whitening because it:
- Transforms coffee-stained teeth into a photo-ready smile in a single visit
- Brightens your smile while keeping it uniquely yours
- Delivers better results with less dental sensitivity
What Causes Staining?
Discoloration is normal and happens to everyone. Common culprits include coffee, tea, berries, tobacco, genetics, medications, and enamel thinning with age. Professional whitening has more dramatic results than over-the-counter alternatives.
The Whitening Process at Excelsior Family Dental
Before any whitening begins, an Excelsior Family Dental team member will evaluate your teeth and gums to ensure you’re the right fit for the procedure. Our experienced team will answer all your questions and customize the best approach for you.
We use Philips Zoom!, for fast, comfortable results in about 1 hour.
- Evaluation: A team member will evaluate your teeth and gums, answer questions, and customize our approach
- Protection: A barrier is applied to shield your gums.
- Activation: The Zoom! LED light activates the gel through 3 quick 15-minute cycles.
- Desensitizing: A special treatment is applied to protect the enamel, lock in results, and reduce sensitivity.
- Results: Leave with your teeth 6-8 shades brighter in about an hour.
Performed by trained professionals, in-office whitening goes deeper to break up stains from coffee, wine, and aging. Patients see up to 3X whiter teeth with less sensitivity compared to over-the-counter brands, for a bright smile while you enjoy your ice cream.

Is Whitening Right For You?
Whitening is ideal for you if you have healthy teeth and want a noticeably brighter smile. Whitening works beautifully on natural tooth enamel but won’t change the color of crowns or fillings. If you have a crown or filling, we can match restorations with crowns and veneers through a separate process.
Whitening is not ideal for severe gum issues or deep intrinsic stains, but it often pairs well with other care.
The Real Value
Studies link whiter teeth to a better first impression, making you more vibrant, approachable, and appealing, while giving you confidence that you look your best. At Excelsior Family Dental, we focus on natural results to give you the freedom to smile confidently and express your most authentic self.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
- Is it safe?
Yes, our pre-whitening evaluation ensures that you are a good candidate for whitening before moving forward with treatment. You are our first priority. - How long do results last?
Your teeth stay several shades lighter permanently, but new stains from coffee, wine, and daily life will gradually return, as they would in untreated teeth. - Does it hurt?
No, the process is painless. Mild sensitivity following the treatment is common, but brief. - Does it work on crowns?
No, this process whitens the enamel of natural teeth. Brightening crowns is a different process.
