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
The first step in the whitening process is impressions. We will take full impressions of your upper and lower teeth. These impressions will be made into custom bleaching trays. The trays will fit onto your teeth perfectly so there is a small possibility of gum damage from the bleaching solution.
The second step is to place the bleaching solution in the trays and wear them for 30 to 60 minutes a day. Within 7-10 days, you will see a significant improvement in the color of your teeth. Your smile will look brighter and younger. We will take before and after photos so that you will be able to compare the amazing transformation.
Bleaching results are variable and only works on natural teeth. Bleaching and may not be effective in all cases and/or may require longer treatment times. We will evaluate your case and inform you as to the potential whitening for your specific situation.
In-office Bleaching
If you are interested in a more rapid bleaching process, we do offer in-office bleaching. We do not use a light source of any kind during in-office bleaching because there has been NO scientific data to prove that the use of light source increases the amount of color change or decreases the required treatment time. There has been quite a bit of data demonstrating that use of "bleaching lights" do increase temperatures and also post-bleaching sensitivity.
