Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with our simple "whitening" procedure.

In only a day or two your custom whitening trays will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special whitening agent that you put into the clear, almost invisible trays. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special whitening agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the brightness you want, only “touch up” treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.

Teeth whitening can be used to correct many tooth discolorations. These discolorations may have been caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in whitening technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, "brilliant" smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice. But because of the low cost of whitening treatments, it is nearly always worth a try.

Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening

  • Corrects brown, yellow and mottled tooth staining 
  • Works on people of all ages. 
  • Is a near permanent solution for a "dull" smile, restoring brightness and bringing a smile alive. 

 

How is teeth whitening done?

An impression is made to fabricate a specialized "mouthguard" or "stent" to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, after which significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, whitening technology offers improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.

Considerations

Over-the-counter whitening 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.
