Whitening/Bleaching

Over time our teeth tend to become discolored or stained. Whether this is from smoking, coffee, or any other foods, a beautiful smile could be closer than you think. We offer a safe, inexpensive solution to an unsightly smile. Whitening your teeth is a very simple procedure that can be completed in relatively short period of time.

Procedure

We utilize home whitening systems for most of our patients. Tooth sensitivity from the whitening medicaments can be controlled more predictability. The teeth can be periodically treated to maintain the bright appearance, also at home.

The first step in the whitening process is impressions of your upper and lower teeth. From these impressions we make custom whitening trays. You are provided with the trays and a supply of whitening gels. You will apply the appropriate gel to the trays, place them in your mouth and wear them for about and hour. You can repeat this 2 times daily after you are sure that you are not developing tooth sensitivity. We may take photos of your teeth before and after your whitening treatment.

Whitening only works on natural teeth and Will not make changes in the color of existing porcelain or composite restorations. Usually whitening results in whiter brighter smiles, but sometimes is not as effective as we would like in certain cases. We will gladly discuss the potential for whitening for your specific situation.
