Whitening

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of your teeth and removes stains and discoloration. Over time, teeth can become stained from various factors, including:

• Coffee, tea, and red wine consumption
• Tobacco use
• Natural aging process
• Certain medications
• Food and beverages with strong pigments

Our professional whitening treatments can help restore your teeth to their natural brightness or even make them whiter than they originally were.

Two Convenient Whitening Options

We offer two proven methods to help you achieve your desired level of brightness, each tailored to fit your lifestyle and preferences.

In-Office Professional Bleaching

Perfect for immediate results and special occasions

Our in-office bleaching treatment delivers dramatic results in just one visit to our office. Here’s what you can expect:

• Single appointment convenience – Complete your whitening treatment in one office visit
• Professional protection – A protective gel or rubber shield is carefully placed over your gums to safeguard your soft tissue
• Advanced whitening technology – A professional-strength bleaching agent containing carbamide peroxide is applied to your teeth
• Enhanced activation – A specialized laser light is used to enhance and accelerate the whitening process
• Immediate results – See a noticeably brighter smile before you leave our office

This option is ideal for patients who want quick results for an upcoming event or those who prefer the convenience of completing their whitening treatment in a single visit.

At-Home Professional Bleaching

Flexible whitening on your schedule

Our at-home whitening system provides professional results with the convenience of treating your teeth in the comfort of your own home:

• Custom-fitted trays – Your dentist will take precise impressions of your teeth to create personalized mouthguards that fit perfectly
• Professional-grade gel – You’ll receive whitening gel containing carbamide peroxide, the same active ingredient used in our office treatments
• Flexible treatment schedule – Wear the mouthguard for a few hours each day or overnight, depending on your preference and our recommendations
• Gradual, controlled results – Treatment typically continues for up to four weeks or longer, allowing you to achieve your desired level of brightness
• Convenient maintenance – Keep your custom trays for future touch-up treatments
