Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with our simple bleaching procedure.
It's safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at your appointment if you would like to begin bleaching. You can lighten only your upper teeth, or both the upper and lower, depending on how much of each shows when you talk and smile.
In only a day or two, your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We will provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear, almost invisible splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles, working stains right out of your enamel in a very short time and without altering tooth structure or existing dental work. When your teeth reach the brightness you want, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We'll want to take "after" photos at your next appointment.
Dental bleaching can correct many tooth discolorations. These discolorations may have been caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, brilliant smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be a better choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.
Key Benefits
- Corrects brown, yellow, or mottled tooth staining
- Works on people of all ages
- Is a near-permanent solution for a dull smile, restoring brightness and bringing a smile to life
How is it done?
An impression is taken to make a specialized mouthguard, or stent, to hold the bleaching agent against the teeth. The system should be used for three to four hours a night, for a week or two. Significant whitening will occur by the end of your treatment. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology whitens yellowing, aging, or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations
Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can harm the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.
