TEETH WHITENING

Teeth whitening is a popular procedure to make your teeth whiter and brighter, and more attractive. Bleaching can be used to whiten stained and discolored teeth, or simply to enhance a dull smile. Either way, teeth whitening is a safe and relatively painless procedure for most patients. Whitening comes in strips, trays, or in-office procedures. We offer a wide variety of options for you at our practice.

In-office bleaching procedures are ideal if you want immediate results. The whole process takes about an hour, taking little time out of busy lives. A protective gel is applied to your teeth and light or laser is used to enhance the agent action. Finally, the patient receives a take-home gel and instructions to keep the smile bright. The result is dramatically whiter teeth that last for years.

Tray whitening is a less-expensive and convenient at-home whitening treatment. The results are more gradual. An impression is taken at the dentist's office to create customized must-follow instructions on how to apply the gel in the trays and how often to use it. Maximum whitening results and a dazzling smile are achieved at the end of the set treatment period. An occasional treatment can be used to maintain the new smile.

Whitening strips can be available at the local store or dental practices. The dentist will have the best recommendations for your needs.
