Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To accomplish the whitening of your teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is completed in 2 steps. The first step is to make an impression of your teeth. With this impression, we'll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use over and over. Finally, you will take the whitening gel and put it in the gel for a short period of time over a period of a few days. This often results in a whiter smile of 4 - 8 shades!

The first step in the whitening process is impressions. We will take full impressions of your upper and lower teeth. These impressions will be made into custom bleaching trays. The trays will fit onto your teeth perfectly so there is a minimal possibility of gum damage from the bleaching solution.
The second step depends on the method of bleaching you decide on.
For conventional at home whitening, the bleaching gel is placed in the trays and you wear them for anywhere from an hour a day to overnight, depending on your preference. Within 7-14 days, you will see a significant improvement in the color of your teeth. Your smile will look brighter and younger.
For Deep Bleaching™, the most effective teeth whitening process ever invented, we will take before and after photos so that you will be able to compare the amazing transformation! There is an in-office conditioning visit to prime the teeth for bleaching. At home bleaching is then done with the special custom trays; this is done at night for 14 days. This is followed by a second in-office visit where the Deep Bleaching MAX gel is placed. This last visit gives your teeth that "WOW", yet still maintaining a natural appearance.
Bleaching only works on natural teeth and may not be effective in all cases. If your teeth have been resistant to other bleaching techniques, even the 1 hour Zoom, the Deep Bleaching technique may be for you. We will inform you as to the potential whitening for your specific situation.
