WHAT is TEETH WHITENING?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic service offered to help lighten and brighten teeth. The teeth whitening process helps to remove discoloration or stains from drinks, food, tobacco, or medications. Our whitening process is an accelerated whitening system that produces quick results, and does not damage the teeth or gums.

HOW DOES TEETH WHITENING WORK?

The whitening gel contains an active ingredient that breaks down during the whitening process to allow oxygen to reach the enamel of the teeth. As a result, the teeth become brighter and lighter in color. Professional teeth whitening can whiten teeth up to 10 shades lighter. Most patients begin to see results after only a few treatments. Having bright, white teeth helps build confidence for patients of all ages. We want our patients to be proud of their smile, and our team is here to help our patients achieve the smile they have always wanted.

WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR TEETH WHITENING?

We offer a professional strength home whitening kit that you cannot get outside of the dental office. This option allows patients to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home. Custom trays are made in our office that are used alongside the whitening gel kit we send home. Patients place the whitening gel in their custom trays, and wear them for a specified amount of time. This method produces amazing results, and patients can notice whiter teeth after just a few treatments. We have both daytime and night time whitening options.

After whitening, patients may experience some sensitivity, but this should subside after a few days. If needed, patients can use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth to help alleviate any sensitivity after whitening. Overall the process is simple, and works quickly to give patients a beautiful white smile.
