Teeth can become discolored due to various reasons, such as smoking, the consumption of dark foods and beverages, and more. The stains can either be intrinsic (inside the teeth) or extrinsic (on the surface of the enamel). Teeth whitening treatments can help with most types of dental discoloration. When you visit us for your consultation, we will examine your teeth and learn about your goals before we recommend the best cosmetic option for you.
Teeth whitening services involve the use of a powerful bleaching formula, which can penetrate the dental enamel and break up unwanted pigment molecules. Often, the main ingredient in such formulas is a form of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
Here in our office, we offer two types of teeth whitening: in-office treatment and customized take-home kits. We will customize your service based on your needs, preferences, and the state of your teeth.
A take-home whitening kit is great for patients who want to brighten their smile in the comfort of their own home. A kit includes custom trays and enough whitening product for a two-week course of treatment. All you have to do is use the kit as instructed, and you will start to see results in a few days.
If you want to achieve results as quickly as possible, we may recommend that you undergo an in-office whitening treatment. Our team will apply a powerful bleaching formula to your teeth, and in approximately one hour, your teeth may be several shades brighter! This option could be ideal if you have an upcoming event, such as a job interview or wedding.
The results of your whitening treatment may last for years if you take steps to protect your brighter smile:
