Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with our simple "whitening process".
"Whitening", also known as "bleaching" is safe, quick, and economical. Just let us know at any time if you would like to be evaluated for bleaching. You can even choose to lighten only those teeth which are esthetically problematic.
In only a day or two your custom whitening appliances will be ready for you. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear, nearly invisible bite appliances. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent removes the stains which have darkened your enamel. This is accomplished without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the brightness you want, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.
Dental bleaching can be used to correct many tooth discolorations. These discolorations may have been caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, "brilliant" smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns, or veneers may be the only choice. However, because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching may be an economical alternative.
Key Benefits
- Corrects brown, yellow, and mottled tooth staining
- Works on people of all ages.
- A simple solution for a "dull" smile, restoring brightness, and bringing a smile alive.
How Is It Done?
An impression or imprint is taken to make a specialized "mouthguard" or "bite appliance" to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night one to four hours over the course of a week or two, after which significant whitening will occur. In almost all cases, the improvement in color is very impressive. For improving your appearance, bleaching technology offers improvements in yellowing, aging, or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns, or veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations
Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available at drug stores and pharmacies; however, since these products can harm the gums and teeth, it's better to use products that our practice recommends and are approved by the American Dental Association. Moreover "in-office" bleaching will have a much greater longevity than over-the-counter products.
