Teeth Whitening for a Brighter Smile
Teeth that have been stained or darkened by food, tobacco use, age, medications or injury can be lightened and brightened by means of a non-invasive process known as teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening or bleaching simply refers to any process that will make the teeth appear whiter. While there are many over the counter options for teeth whitening, the most effective and safest teeth whitening systems are the professional strength ones available at the dentist’s office. A dental professional whitening system offers a higher concentration of whitening components and delivers them to the teeth in the most efficient manner to achieve optimal results.
At our office, we offer an exceptional take home system. Both of these are top-of the-line systems. Our professional strength take home system produces excellent results by way of a more gradual process.
Say Goodbye to Stains and Discoloration
Whitening vs. Bleaching – What’s the Difference?
- Bleaching uses agents like hydrogen peroxide to lighten teeth beyond their natural shade by targeting deep stains.
- Whitening, however, typically focuses on removing surface stains to restore teeth to their original color.
How the Whitening Process Works
Many people turn to over-the-counter whitening products, but these can be less effective and may carry risks. Professional whitening is safer and delivers superior, longer-lasting results.
At our office, we begin by protecting your gums and lips, then apply a professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and provides immediate brightening. We also offer custom trays for at-home touch-ups to help you maintain your results over time.
