Teeth Whitening

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple Teeth Whitening or bleaching procedure.

What are the details of teeth whitening?

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.

In only a day or two your custom bleach splints (trays)will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear trays. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.

Teeth Whitening or Teeth Bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be 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 the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.

IN OFFICE TEETH WHITENING

The REMBRANDT teeth whitening system employs a hydrogen peroxide based bleaching gel. Along with the gel, a plasma arc light unit is utilized and is capable of bleaching both the upper and lower arches of the teeth at the same time. This light activates the Rembrandt gel to enhance its whitening effects. The entire procedure takes about 90 minutes and the results are immediate with continued whitening for several hours afterwards. Our office recommends the use of “Take Home Trays and Bleach” to maintain your newly brightened smile.
