Your smile is one of the first things a person will notice when you meet. If you would like to improve your smile with a simple procedure, teeth whitening may be a great option for you, especially if you have stained, dull or discolored teeth. Our dental office provides teeth whitening services to new and existing patients.

Regardless of how well you care for your teeth, discoloration will occur over time. The main causes of stained teeth are genetics, antibiotics, tobacco, and certain foods. As we age, our teeth darken as well. While preventing tooth discoloration is nearly impossible, our experienced team can help reverse the effects of discoloration by helping to create a whiter and brighter smile.

Whether it’s an in-office treatment or at-home treatment, the principles of teeth whitening are the same. A special whitening agent is applied to the teeth in order to bleach stains and brighten your smile. Our expert Dentist will discuss your whitening needs and goals to determine which option is best for you.

In-office teeth whitening is the quickest method for a brighter, whiter smile. With the supervision of an experienced Dental Professional, a stronger bleaching solution can be used than with at-home kits. Optimal results are achieved much faster with professional whitening treatment, and in many ways the results are much better, given the nature of the bleaching agents used. On average, patients find they appear up to ten years younger just by restoring the bright, white smile of their youth.

During a professional teeth whitening treatment, we will first clean your teeth. We will then apply a whitening agent to your teeth, carefully avoiding your gums and soft tissue. Once applied, a laser light will be directed at the teeth to expedite the process. For maximum results, the process may be repeated more than once.

If a visit to our office for professional whitening isn’t an option, at-home treatment may provide the whitening you need. While you will find a wide variety of at-home teeth whitening products on the market, including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, trays, and more, we can fit you with custom-made whitening trays that will fit your teeth more accurately for a more even whitening result.

At-home teeth whitening results are less dramatic than those achieved at the dentist. While at-home teeth whitening is easy to use, it is not recommended if your teeth or gums are sensitive.
