Whitening/Bleaching

Over time our teeth tend to become discolored or stained. Whether this is from smoking, coffee, or any other foods, a beautiful smile could be closer than you think. We offer a safe, inexpensive solution to an unsightly smile. Whitening your teeth is a very simple procedure that can be completed in relatively short period of time.

Procedure

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" factor white.

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.
