What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses bleaching agents, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to remove stains and lighten tooth enamel. Professional whitening systems deliver controlled concentrations of these agents through custom trays or direct application, breaking down discoloration molecules below the tooth surface. The process is non-invasive and can lighten teeth by multiple shades, addressing stains from coffee, wine, tobacco, aging, and certain medications while preserving natural tooth structure.
What is the Venus White® Pro System?
The Venus White Pro System is an advanced teeth-whitening technology that uses a powerful tooth-bleaching agent. Its gentle gel penetrates your enamel to lift and dissolve deep, sticky stains. This at-home treatment allows Dr. Yenchesky to customize your whitening formula to achieve your desired shade.
Types of Teeth Whitening Options
Professional whitening comes in several forms, each designed for different needs and preferences.
- In-Office Power Whitening: A single appointment lasting 60-90 minutes where concentrated bleaching gel is applied under controlled conditions, often with light activation for immediate dramatic results—ideal for events happening within days
- Custom Take-Home Trays: Professional-strength whitening gel used with precision-fitted trays you wear at home for 30-60 minutes daily over one to two weeks, offering gradual brightening with complete schedule flexibility
- Combination Treatment: In-office session followed by take-home trays to maximize initial results and provide touch-up capability for maintaining brightness long-term
- Sensitive Teeth Formulations: Lower-concentration gels with desensitizing ingredients and modified wear schedules that deliver excellent results without discomfort for patients prone to sensitivity
- Touch-Up Treatments: Periodic maintenance sessions using your existing custom trays to refresh brightness every six to 12 months as natural discoloration gradually returns
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Dramatic, Predictable Results
Professional systems can lighten teeth six to 10 shades compared to one to two shades from drugstore products. Dr. Yenchesky’s digital treatment planning lets you see projected outcomes before committing, removing guesswork from the process.
Fast, Noticeable Improvement
In-office treatments deliver visible brightening in under two hours. Even take-home professional kits show clear results within three to five days—far faster than weeks of daily over-the-counter strip use.
Safe, Supervised Treatment
Custom-fitted trays prevent gel from irritating gums, while professional-grade formulations minimize sensitivity. Dr. Chad monitors your progress and adjusts treatment if concerns arise, ensuring comfortable whitening throughout.
Long-Lasting Brightness
Professional whitening results typically last one to three years with proper maintenance, compared to three to six months from store products. Your custom trays allow affordable touch-ups whenever needed without repeat appointments.
Even Natural-Looking Color
Precision application ensures consistent whitening across all visible teeth. Unlike strips that may miss areas or create uneven patches, professional treatment delivers harmonious results that look naturally bright, not artificially white.
Enhanced Confidence and First Impressions
Studies show people with whiter teeth are perceived as more successful, friendly, and attractive. Beyond others’ perceptions, patients consistently report feeling more confident in social and professional situations after whitening.
Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment
While initially more expensive than drugstore products, professional whitening’s superior results and longevity make it more economical over time. One professional treatment often outlasts years of purchasing ineffective retail products.
Foundation for Complete Smile Makeovers
If you’re considering veneers or other cosmetic work, whitening first establishes your brightest natural tooth color, allowing restorations to be matched to your optimal shade rather than discolored teeth.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums can benefit from whitening, though some situations call for modified approaches. Our De Pere dentist will help you determine if you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening.
- Patients with yellow or brown surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco typically achieve the most dramatic improvements
- Adults with age-related darkening where enamel has naturally yellowed over time respond excellently to professional bleaching agents
- Those with healthy tooth enamel and no active decay, since whitening works on natural tooth structure and shouldn’t be used on compromised teeth
- People without extensive dental work on front teeth because whitening only affects natural enamel, not crowns, veneers, or fillings—existing restorations may need replacement to match new brightness
- Patients willing to avoid staining foods temporarily during treatment and immediately after, as teeth are more porous and susceptible to new stains during the whitening period
- Those with realistic expectations who understand that whitening improves natural tooth color but can’t change gray discoloration from certain medications or create unnaturally white “Chiclet” teeth
- Adults and older teens with fully developed permanent teeth, as whitening isn’t recommended for children whose tooth structure is still maturing
The Venus White Pro Process With Dr. Yenchesky
Consultation
The teeth whitening process begins with your consultation. Meet with Dr. Yenchesky to discuss your goals and determine if teeth whitening is right for you. We’ll examine your teeth to ensure they’re healthy and free of issues that could affect the whitening process.
Preparation
We’ll clean your teeth and take impressions to create custom-fitted trays that hold the whitening gel in place.
At-Home Whitening
At-Home WhiteningApply the Venus White Pro gel to your custom trays and wear them as directed to whiten teeth. The duration depends on the gel strength and your desired level of whiteness.
Results
You’ll see noticeable results after just one to two at-home sessions. Our De Pere dentist will help determine the number of treatments needed to reach your desired shade.
Caring for Your Whitening Results
Caring for teeth whitening treatment requires some simple habit adjustments, especially in the first few weeks when teeth are most vulnerable to new stains.
- Avoid dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine for 48 hours post-treatment; if consumed later, use a straw to minimize contact with front teeth
- Skip tobacco products completely, as smoking and chewing tobacco are the fastest ways to reverse whitening results and cause new stubborn stains
- Brush within 30 minutes of eating colored foods like berries, tomato sauce, and soy sauce to prevent pigments from settling into enamel
- Use whitening toothpaste two to three times weekly to gently remove surface stains between professional treatments, but not daily, as this can increase sensitivity
- Attend regular dental cleanings every six months so hygienists can polish away new surface staining before it sets deeper into enamel
- Schedule touch-up treatments every 12-18 months using your custom trays to maintain brightness as natural darkening gradually occurs
- Consider diet modifications by choosing white wine over red, lighter sauces, and clear beverages when possible to extend results

Important Considerations & Teeth Whitening Alternatives
Whitening works beautifully for many patients, but setting realistic expectations ensures satisfaction with your results. Not all tooth discoloration responds equally to bleaching agents. Grayish stains from tetracycline antibiotics or fluorosis typically lighten less dramatically than yellow-brown stains. If you have existing dental work on front teeth—crowns, veneers, or tooth-colored fillings—these won’t change color with whitening. You may need to replace them afterward to match your newly brightened natural teeth, adding to the total investment.
Sensitivity during treatment is the most common concern, though usually temporary. Dr. Yenchesky offers desensitizing options and can adjust gel concentration to minimize discomfort. Some patients experience mild gum irritation if gel contacts soft tissue, but custom trays significantly reduce this risk compared to one-size-fits-all strips.
Common Alternatives to Traditional Whitening
- Porcelain veneers for patients with severe discoloration, chips, or gaps who want to address multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously with permanent brightness
- Dental bonding using tooth-colored composite resin to cover stained areas on individual teeth without full-mouth treatment
- Dental crowns to restore and whiten severely discolored teeth while also strengthening compromised tooth structure
- Microabrasion for removing superficial white or brown spots on enamel through gentle polishing rather than chemical bleaching
Possible Side Effects
- Temporary tooth sensitivity to hot and cold that typically resolves within 24-48 hours after treatment completion
- Mild gum irritation if whitening gel contacts soft tissue, usually preventable with properly fitted custom trays
- Uneven results on teeth with existing restorations since crowns, fillings, and veneers don’t respond to bleaching agents
- Slight translucency increase at tooth edges in some patients, though this usually isn’t noticeable and fades after treatment
