Teeth Whitening/Bleaching
Over time our teeth tend to become discolored or stained. Whether this is from smoking, coffee, tea, sodas, red wine, or aging, a beautiful smile could be closer than you think. We offer a variety of solutions for an unsightly smile. Whitening your teeth is a very simple procedure that can be completed in relatively short period of time with a take-home kit, or in a single visit with our Power Bleach technology. We will record your tooth shade before and after so that you will be able to compare the amazing transformation.
Power Bleach Procedure
With our Power Bleach in-office bleaching system, your teeth can be visibly whiter in a single visit. Our dental professionals will apply a concentrated bleaching solution to your teeth that is stronger than any solution offered in stores or in take-home kits.
Take-Home Bleaching Procedure
We make custom bleaching trays that fit comfortably in your mouth and give you a concentrated bleaching solution to wear in your trays for approximately fifteen minutes a day. We have several different brands of bleaching solutions that we recommend based on your needs. Within 7-14 days of bleaching, you will see a significant improvement in the color of your teeth. Your smile will look brighter and younger.
Bleaching only works on natural teeth and may not be effective in all cases. It is also important to make sure that your teeth are in good health before bleaching, as we cannot recommend bleaching on decayed teeth or teeth with heavy buildup. We will inform you as to the potential whitening for your specific situation.
