Teeth whitening can provide a dramatic difference in a short amount of time.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry service that enhances your smile by safely lifting stains. While whitening toothpastes can help, professional treatments offer faster, brighter results—especially for those with sensitive teeth. For deeper discoloration, options like dental veneers or dental bonding may be recommended. Maintaining good oral health and addressing issues like tooth decay are key before starting. Ask about coverage through your dental insurance, and schedule your appointment today for a radiant, confident smile.
In-Office Bleaching usually requires only one office visit. A protective gel or a rubber shield is placed over the gums to protect the soft tissue. A bleaching agent containing carbamide peroxide is applied to the teeth, and a specialized light is then used to enhance the action of the whitening agent. This is the fastest way to achieve results.
At-Home bleaching requires an impression of the teeth to be taken to make a customized mouth guard to hold the whitening gel, containing carbamide peroxide, against the teeth. Once the mouth guard is made, it is worn for a period of time, as instructed by our office. The amount of time may vary from a couple hours a day, or all night, to up to four weeks or longer, if desired.
