Teeth Whitening

Do you love your smile but hate the color of your teeth? Have they naturally become yellowish and discolored as you’ve gotten older? Tooth discoloration isn’t unusual. Over time, certain foods, drinks, and habits can all lead to your teeth becoming discolored. For instance, things like wine and coffee have a staining effect on your pearly whites. Other things like tobacco can leave behind yellowish stains that are hard to get rid of with just brushing and flossing. If you are unhappy with the color of your teeth, you should consider teeth-whitening.

Our teeth-whitening process is simple. To begin, we will take a mold of your teeth. We will then use this mold to make a custom whitening tray which fits perfectly in your mouth and is used to hold the whitening gel against each tooth. The trays can be used over and over again every time you want to re-whiten. After we’ve crafted your customized tray, we will fill it with whitening gel and place it in your mouth.

The whitening gel acts as a bleaching agent and restores the white color of your teeth. This process is is completely safe and does not damage your enamel. Teeth-whitening is generally painless, although you may experience some sensitivity, especially after the first treatment.

Teeth-whitening is an easy way to refresh your smile and give it a bright, new look. A pearly white smile will never go out of style, so come see us about your whitening options today.
