Teeth Whitening in Portland, OR

Brighten Your Smile with Professional Whitening from Family Dental Health

If your morning coffee is starting to leave a mark—not just on your energy levels but on your smile—it may be time to consider professional teeth whitening in Portland. At Family Dental Health, we help patients erase years of stains and discoloration with safe, effective whitening treatments that deliver real results.

Get a Whiter Smile with a Single Visit

At Family Dental Health, we know how much our Portland community loves coffee, tea, red wine, and—let’s be honest—life’s little indulgences. But those favorites can leave a lasting impression on your teeth. If your smile is looking dull, yellow, or uneven in color, a professional whitening treatment can restore your bright, youthful look and give your confidence a major boost.

Whether you’re preparing for a special event or just want to look and feel your best every day, Dr. David Case and our team can help you reveal a radiant smile in as little as one visit.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over-the-counter whitening kits might seem convenient, but they rarely deliver the deep whitening most patients are looking for. Our in-office and take-home whitening treatments using the trusted UltraDent Opalescence® system offer:

• Dramatic Results: Brighten your teeth by several shades safely and quickly.

• Custom Treatment Plans: Choose from in-office power whitening or convenient take-home kits.

• Safe for Sensitive Teeth: Desensitizing agents protect your enamel and reduce discomfort.

• Long-Lasting Effects: Professional-grade whitening penetrates below the surface to remove deep-set stains that drugstore kits can’t touch.

Understanding Teeth Staining

To keep your smile brighter, longer, it’s important to understand what causes tooth discoloration in the first place.

Common Causes of Tooth Stains:

• Beverages: Coffee, tea, red wine, and soda.

• Foods: Dark berries, tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, curry.

• Tobacco use: Smoking and chewing tobacco cause deep, persistent stains.

• Poor oral hygiene: Irregular brushing and flossing lets stains and plaque stick around.

• Age and genetics: Natural enamel thinning over time reveals more dentin underneath.

How to Prevent Future Stains:

• Use a straw for staining beverages.

• Rinse with water after consuming pigmented foods or drinks.

• Brush and floss after meals, and schedule regular oral hygiene appointments.

• Quit smoking or using tobacco for a healthier mouth—and a brighter smile.

The UltraDent® Difference

At Family Dental Health, we believe that our Portland patients deserve only the best. That’s why we use the most trusted, most recommended, and award-winning UltraDent Opalescence® whitening system. UltraDent® offers a variety of whitening products and services to fit your needs. From take-home tray kits, to in-office treatment, to desensitizing treatment and toothpaste, we’ve got you covered.

While we realize we are competing with thousands of other whitening products you can pick up along with your groceries (how convenient), we want our patients to know that only a professional treatment will get them the results they want. Over-the-counter products are mildly effective at removing surface stains, but will do nothing to combat those deep, intrinsic stains that give teeth their color. Only a professional grade whitening will give you the best results, and the most bang for your buck.

Teeth staining 101

In order to maximize your whitening results, it’s important for you to understand how teeth stain and what to do to avoid it.

1. Staining agents – Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco are the big ones, but anything that will stain a white t-shirt will stain your teeth. Avoid these products as best as possible.
2. Sipping habits – Sipping stain-causing beverages quickly and through a straw will help minimize contact with teeth and reduce staining.
3. Oral hygiene – Brush and floss regularly, at least twice a day, ideally after eating or drinking.
4. Water – When brushing and flossing is not an option, rinsing with water will help minimize plaque buildup and staining.
