Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a popular procedure to make teeth whiter and brighter, and therefore more attractive. Bleaching can be used to whiten stained and discolored teeth or simply to enhance a dull smile. Either way, tooth whitening is a safe and relatively painless procedure ideal for most patients. Our office offers two methods of whitening: in-office whitening and tray whitening.
In-office Whitening
In-office whitening is an ideal procedure for anyone wanting immediate results. Because the entire procedure takes place in our office in about an hour, it is the perfect choice for busy individuals. In this process, a protective gel is applied to your gums to protect the soft tissue. Our office uses the Boost Whitening system. A thin layer of Boost whitening gel will be applied to the surface of your teeth for 20 minutes. The bleach will be removed and reapplied for one or two more 20-minute sessions. We also take impressions of your teeth to create custom trays for at home touch-up and give you instructions for keeping your smile bright. The take-home trays can be made without doing the Boost system. The result is dramatically whiter teeth that will last for years.
