Teeth Whitening
At Highgrove Dental Care, our teeth whitening treatments bring fantastic results, and the process is customized for each patient.
In our Saint Paul, MN dental office, we capture an image of your teeth prior to your teeth whitening treatment. Then we take a mold of your mouth. We use this mold to create a custom teeth-whitening tray. Finally, we provide you with prescription-strength gel.
The best part is, you can take this tray and your gel home and whiten your teeth on your time.
Also, a member of our skilled staff will give you any special instructions that you may need, including how long you should leave the gel and trays in your mouth and how often you should whiten.
When your teeth have reached the desired shade of white, we will capture another image of your teeth—a celebrated before and after duo.
Additionally, you can keep the trays in case you want to whiten your teeth in the future. However, we recommend only using prescription-strength whitening gel, which is heads above anything you’ll find in a drugstore.

In our St Paul, MN dental office, we rely on the latest advances in teeth whitening techniques and prescription-strength gels. It is our goal to whiten your teeth dramatically. We also 
create a custom tray taken from a mold of your mouth to ensure even whitening. This method also helps protect your gums.
There are many teeth whitening treatments available in the store, too. But these gels, pastes, and strips will not dramatically lift away stains and help prevent new stains. Additionally, some store-bought kits could damage your teeth.
Professional teeth whitening by a professional, in contrast, begins with an assessment. It’s important that your teeth are good candidates for whitening.
Take home your tray and our prescription-strength gel. Whiten your teeth on your own time, and watch as teeth grow whiter following each application. You can also do periodic touch-ups to maintain your results.
Our hygienist will provide all instructions, including how often to use your tray and for how long.
For even and dramatic whitening, store-bought kits simply don’t stack up to professional teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening has become a very common way for people to improve their smiles without having to go through lengthy procedures. Oftentimes, people whiten their teeth multiple times per year but is there a risk to whitening your teeth?
The short answer is no. Teeth whitening became widespread in the 1980s. At that time there was a very large study that determined that there was no permanent damage done to teeth by whitening with current methods. Since that time, tens of millions of people have completed teeth whitening without permanent problems.

Stains on your teeth can cause you to have lower self-esteem and cause you to not want to smile as often. Luckily for many, restoring your teeth to their former brilliance is a simple task that can be done at your local dentist. Here at Highgrove Dental Care, we want our patients to always feel confident in their smile and to feel comfortable and relaxed when they come to our office.
Microabrasion & Teeth Whitening
Many people have brown and/or whitish stains that have formed in the outer layer of their teeth from too much fluoride. There is a simple, one-time procedure called microabrasion that will remove these stains. Microabrasion used in combination with teeth whitening is a noninvasive method to eliminate stains and create a beautiful smile.
If you have any further questions about how to remove stains from your teeth or to make your teeth whitening appointment please call our office. John Grittner, DDS, Jadilyn Nguyen Grittner, DDS, and staff would love to see you and help you achieve your best smile yet!
