Tooth Whitening
Dramatically whiten your smile.
The problem:
- Discoloration or Yellow Teeth
The Solution:
Custom whitening trays will be made from models of your teeth. We will then place a small amount of professional strength whitening gel in each tray. The trays are worn overnight and most patients find them to be very comfortable. Within 1-2 weeks, a significantly whiter smile will result.
Advantages:
Modern tooth whitening systems are highly effective and proven to be safe to tooth enamel.
Having white teeth helps raise self esteem and confidence.
Patients notice that they smile more.
Dramatically whiter teeth are not just for celebrities anymore.
Disadvantages:
Occasionally, patients may experience some tooth sensitivity when using their trays. These symptoms will subside after whitening is complete and we work with the patient to help avoid this.
Alternatives:
Occasionally, teeth may be stained in a way that limits the effectiveness of tooth whitening. In those instances, porcelain laminates or crowns are an excellent alternative.
