Whitening

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with a simple bleaching procedure. Tooth discolorations may have been caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, brilliant smile.

Bleaching or whitening teeth is safe, quick, and relatively inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to begin whitening. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on your smile type and personal preferences.

In only a day or two your custom bleach trays will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear, nearly invisible splints. With only an hour or so of wear per day, the special bleaching agent will remove stains from your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the level of whiteness you want, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.

How Is It Done?

An impression is taken to make a specialized "mouthguard" or "tray" to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about an hour two weeks, after which significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology offers improvements in yellowing, aging, or stained teeth.

Considerations

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available at drug stores and pharmacies; however, since these products can harm the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends. For very severely stained teeth, crowns, or veneers may be more appropriate.
