What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Stains from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, certain foods, and the natural aging process can gradually make your teeth look darker or duller, no matter how hard you work to take care of them. If you've been left frustrated by over-the-counter whitening kits that aren't getting the results you want, you may be a good candidate for teeth whitening at Dr. Anna Pavlotsky Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. Our practice offers professional-grade teeth whitening kits for Warwick, RI men and women who want to achieve a noticeably brighter smile from the comfort of home. With proper use and occasional touch-ups, professional whitening can help you enjoy a more luminous smile that lasts.
How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?
Before beginning treatment, we'll review your goals and discuss whether professional teeth whitening is appropriate for your smile. If you have any dental concerns like untreated cavities or gum disease, those may need to be addressed first.
Teeth whitening at Dr. Anna Pavlotsky Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is provided through take-home trays and bleaches, allowing you to treat your teeth on your schedule. Before you go home, we'll explain how to use the products in your kit, what you can expect throughout the process, and any concerns that might require more attention. As your treatment progresses over the next 1 – 2 weeks, you should start to notice your natural teeth becoming gradually lighter. You can stop once you've achieved your desired shade, using your tray as needed to help maintain your results.

Dr. Anna Pavlotsky Family & Cosmetic Dentistry Reviews
Dr. Pavlotski has been my families dentist over 25 years. She is very efficient and I have never had a bad experience what so ever!
New Dentist and the best I've had - Dr. Pavlotsky, the dental hygienist & receptionist were all incredibly kind & professional. They made me feel at ease & I can actually say I had a very pleasant & even enjoyable experience. As a woman recovering from a long term eating disorder, I've always had fear &anxiety to the point of tears when visiting dentist, but all of that washed away the moment I met Dr. Pavlotsky. She was kind, patient, understanding, and gave me advice as well as words of comfort. She asked all the right questions & let me voice my concerns & share my story. I felt at ease & at peace for the 1st time in my adult life, at 38 yrs old, sitting in a dentist chair! I am very happy to be a new patient and I look forward to remaining a patient there. Absolutely the best dentist practice I've been to. 5 starts and more!!
Always available, alway attentive, always helpful, great work, love them

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
What's the difference between store-bought and professional teeth whitening kits?
Store-bought whitening kits vary widely in their ingredients, strength, and fit. The professional teeth whitening products we provide at Dr. Anna Pavlotsky Family & Cosmetic Dentistry feature a higher concentration of whitening agents, achieving a brighter shade in a shorter amount of time. Our kits are also custom-designed based on your goals, offering greater control over your results.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional teeth whitening is safe for most patients when used as directed and supervised by an experienced dental provider. Before treatment, our team will check for dental concerns that could make whitening uncomfortable or inappropriate, such as untreated cavities or gum problems. Overusing teeth whitening products can damage your teeth and irritate your gums, so it's important to follow our directions closely.
Can teeth whitening make my teeth more sensitive?
Temporary tooth sensitivity is one of the more common side effects of whitening. You may notice sensitivity to cold or other sensations during treatment or shortly afterward. Following our instructions can help reduce the likelihood and severity of sensitivity.
How long will my results last after my teeth whitening treatment?
Results after professional teeth whitening can last from several months to a year, depending on factors like diet, oral hygiene, and tobacco use. Your teeth will naturally pick up some new discoloration over time, but periodic touch-up treatments can help maintain a brighter appearance. We'll let you know when additional whitening may be appropriate based on your results.
Does teeth whitening work on dental crowns or fillings?
Whitening products are formulated to work on natural tooth enamel, not dental crowns, fillings, or other restorations. If you have visible restorations that no longer match your natural teeth, whitening may make the difference in shade more noticeable. Our team can help you understand how whitening may affect the overall appearance of your smile before you begin treatment.
Make the Most of Your Whitening Treatment
Teeth whitening can make a noticeable difference in the appearance of your smile, helping you feel more confident in the way you look. If you've been considering whitening treatments but aren't sure whether a store-bought product or professional treatment is the better choice, our team can help you weigh the benefits and limitations of each option. Schedule an appointment at Dr. Anna Pavlotsky Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Warwick, RI to discuss your goals and find the professional teeth whitening approach that's right for you.
