Tooth Whitening / Bleaching

Having A Beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with one of our simple bleaching procedures. Dental whitening can be used to correct many tooth discolorations. These discolorations may have been caused by aging or consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, and red wine. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we offer safe methods for creating a beautiful brilliant smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, bleaching may not be the answer. In these extreme cases, crowns or veneers may be the only valid choices. However, because of the lower cost of whitening treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try. Anyone 12 years and older can benefit from bleaching. Our office offers two types of bleaching: a take-home kit and an in-house procedure.

Take Home Bleaching

An impression is taken to make a specialized tray to hold the bleach against your teeth. In about a week your custom bleaching tray is ready for you to pick up. We will provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear, almost invisible trays. With only an hour of wear per day, the whitening agent bleaches stains right out of your enamel. Your teeth will have reached their optimal color in approximately two weeks and, only an occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.
Advantages of the take home bleach are that you are in control of the process, it is simple to apply and a little less expensive than our in house bleach.
The disadvantages of take home bleach are, it takes 2 weeks to bleach, the trays can be annoying to wear, and there can be some sensitivity during the whole time you are bleaching.
