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.

It's safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any 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. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear, nearly invisible splints. 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 brightness you want, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.

Dental bleaching can be used to correct some tooth discolorations. Teeth discoloration may have been caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth.  In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns, or veneers may be the only choice.  However, because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is often worth a try.

Key Benefits

• Corrects brown, yellow, and mottled tooth staining
• Works on teens and adults.
• A near permanent solution for a "dull" smile, restoring brightness, and bringing a smile alive. 

How Is It Done?

An impression is taken to make a specialized "mouthguard" or "stent" to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about three to four hours for a week or two, after which significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology offers improvements in yellowing, aging, or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns, or veneers may be more appropriate.
