Bleaching

Let your smile reflect your personality

How many times have you looked in the mirror and thought how much happier you'd be with a whiter, brighter smile? Your smile is the first thing others notice about you. Teeth that aren't as white as you'd like them to be can leave you feeling self-conscious.

There are several reasons your teeth may be discolored.

1. Using Tobacco
2. Drinking Coffee or Tea
3. Eating Berries
4. Normal Aging Process
5. Injuries to Teeth
6. Excessive Fluoride
7. Tetracycline Stains
8. Certain illnesses can cause discolored teeth

You don't have to feel guilty about wanting a brighter smile. Tooth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the United States, and it has been performed successfully on millions of patients like you.

And it is Simple, Easy, Affordable and Effective

In conjunction with the home bleaching systems that are currently so popular, we do a "jump start" treatment that will give you the same result in one hour as you get in a 3 - 6 week home bleaching schedule. Many of our patients like this because it gives instant results, then they take the bleach material and mouth trays home and continue whitening periodically at their convenience.

First, a short appointment is necessary to take impressions of your teeth so we can make the trays. We also recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned shortly before starting the bleaching regiment. This way you will be bleaching your teeth and not any build-up on your them.

Second, you are scheduled for a one-hour appointment. At this appointment you simply wear the trays with the "in-office" bleach material. One of our trained assistants will check to process periodically. During this time, you are free to read, sleep, sew or even work on your laptop.

At the end of this appointment, we should see an approximate change of three shades lighter on your teeth. You are then instructed to use the home bleach material with the home trays for two to four weeks - one to two hours per day, and then periodically, to brighten your smile. Even though most people's teeth whiten successfully, there is no guarantee that everyone will get the same results. Some teeth just do not whiten as much as others.
