Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening done in a professional setting is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. It’s also the most economical cosmetic dental procedure. Depending on the whitening method you choose, results can be dramatic. In-office whitening, for example, can lighten teeth up multiple shades in a short period of time.

In-Office Whitening

Professional supervised whitening will work faster and protect sensitive gums and tooth-root surfaces better than over the counter whitening products. Having an examination before you begin whitening is an important first step to make sure that your tooth discoloration is not the result of a dental condition that is in need of restorative treatment.

This technique offers the fastest results with the most powerful whitening solution available. We will cover your gums and tooth root surfaces with a protective barrier to ensure comfort and safety. We will apply a professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel that will be left on the teeth for 15 minutes up to an hour. When it is removed, the results are often immediately obvious.

Take-Home Whitening

Another effective way to whiten your teeth is through take-home whitening. This process will take longer to achieve the best possible results, but when it is done is entirely up to you. A mold of your teeth will be taken to make top and bottom thin clear custom bleaching trays. These trays are filled with whitening gel and positioned over your teeth. The trays are left in for 15 minutes up to an hour, depending on the strength of the gel.
