Jaclyn Cooper, Clinical Director at Babylon Dental Care, stated that their take-home teeth whitening program, Whitening for Life, can provide a "white and beautiful smile."
"Joining Whitening for Life means committing to hygiene visits every six months, guaranteeing that your teeth remain beautifully white," said Cooper.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of people’s smiles. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), teeth whitening works by breaking stains into smaller pieces, making the color less concentrated and the teeth brighter. The process can be performed in a dental office or at home using various products like whitening toothpaste, gels, strips, or custom-fit trays provided by a dentist.
The Mayo Clinic notes that professional whitening procedures often deliver more reliable and quicker results compared to over-the-counter products. The effectiveness of teeth whitening can vary based on the type of stains. Extrinsic stains, caused by external factors like coffee, tea, and smoking, are usually easier to remove with whitening treatments. Intrinsic stains, which originate within the tooth due to factors like aging, medication, or trauma, may require more intensive treatments.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry advises consulting with a dentist before starting any whitening regimen to ensure the chosen method is appropriate for dental health and to minimize risks. While teeth whitening is generally safe, it is not without potential side effects. The most common issues include tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. These side effects are typically temporary and subside after treatment.
Whitening for Life is Babylon Dental Care’s take-home option for whitening. For $149, patients can join their Whitening for Life program. Patients will receive custom-fit whitening trays for their upper and lower teeth along with two syringes of whitening bleach. "But here's the best part: patients who maintain regular hygiene visits will receive one syringe of whitening bleach every six months, ensuring they can sustain their brighter, whiter smile," said Cooper. "Essentially, joining this program means committing to hygiene visits every six months, guaranteeing that your teeth remain beautifully white. Plus, it's all part of our loyalty program," she said.

Currently serving as clinical director for both locations of Babylon Dental Care, her main focus is ensuring that the clinical team thrives.
