Teeth whitening can provide a dramatic difference in a short amount of time, transforming stained or yellow teeth into a white smile.
Whether you’re looking to remove surface stains or achieve a completely new tooth color, our professional whitening options can help you whiten teeth effectively and safely.
In Office Bleaching
In-office whitening bleaching usually requires only one office visit to whiten teeth. 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 dental procedure is the fastest way to achieve results for a brighter smile and is ideal for patients with sensitive teeth who need professional guidance during the whitening process. Our professional teeth whitening delivers impressive results in just one visit.
At-Home Bleaching
At-home bleaching requires an impression of the teeth to be taken to make a customized mouth guard or custom-fitted tray 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 of hours a day, or all night, to up to four weeks or longer, if desired.
