Bleaching

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.

What are the details?

It's safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to begin bleaching. Simple impressions are made of your upper and lower teeth.

In only a day or two your custom bleach trays will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching gel that you put into the clear trays. You can bleach for one hour per day or while you sleep. The process takes 10-14 days. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional touch up treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.

Dental 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 try.

Key Benefits

• Corrects brown, yellow and mottled tooth staining
  
• Works on people of any age.
  
• Is a near permanent solution for a "dull" smile, restoring brightness and brings a smile alive.
  

Considerations

Over the counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. Dental supervision is highly recommended to ensure the mouth is evaluated prior to commencing bleaching. If dark bonding or crowns are present, bleaching can create a mismatch if not checked. Carefully designed, custom bleach trays are crucial to maximize bleaching efficiency.
