Teeth Whitening

Having a beautiful smile is easier than you might think.

 

What are the Details of Teeth Whitening?

Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening

  • Corrects brown, yellow and spotted tooth staining
  • Works on people of any age
  • Is a near-permanent solution for a “dull” smile, restoring brightness. It brings a smile to life.

Dental whitening can be used to correct
tooth discoloration caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth.
 
It is safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth.
 
We offer 2 types of whitening- custom bleach trays and professional strength white strips.  
 

 

 

Types of Whitening:

Custom Bleach Trays. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile. An impression is taken to make specialized “mouthguard-like" clear trays. Within a day or two, your custom bleach trays will be ready. We provide you with a special bleaching gel that you put in the clear trays. These trays hold the bleach against your teeth. We recommend using the bleaching trays twice daily for 2 weeks. At the end of this time, significant whitening will occur.

Professional Strength White Strips. These are tape-like strips that are pressed and formed over your teeth. These white strips use a higher strength of whitening agent than over the counter strips.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

For severely stained teeth, crowns or porcelain veneers may be more appropriate.
