Teeth whitening is a safe, quick, and inexpensive treatment. Let us know at any appointment if you would like to have your teeth whitened. You can choose to lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much of your teeth show when you talk and smile.

It takes only a day or two for your custom bleach splints to be ready for you to pick up. You’ll be provided with a special bleaching agent that is placed into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent dissolves stains on your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or harming existing dental work. When your teeth have reached the desired brightness, occasional treatments can be used to maintain your new smile. At your next appointment we will take “after” photos to compare the difference.

Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration that is caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we offer a safe method for creating a beautiful healthy looking smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, however, crowns or veneers may be the only choice to alter the color of your teeth. Given the low cost of bleaching treatments, it’s worth trying this procedure first.

In-Office and Take Home Whitening Treatments Available

We understand that many of our patients lead busy lives. We offer both in-office whitening treatments and take home whitening kits. Both options provide dramatic and brightening results.

In-Office Whitening – This option produces fast (in some cases less than 2 hours) and dramatic results and is completed in our dental office. Application by our dental team ensures maximum safety and optimal results. Depending on your needs, more than one appointment may be needed to achieve your desired results.

Take Home Whitening Kits – This option provides all the material you need to achieve teeth whitening in the comfort of your own home. You receive professional grade whitening gel, customized trays, and specific directions. It usually takes a number of uses to see desired results depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening.

Either option you choose allows our team to create a customized approach to teeth whitening. We are happy to discuss with you one-on-one to determine the right teeth whitening plan for your needs.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

While over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies, these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth. For your dental safety, it is better to use products that we recommend.
