Tooth Whitening
Whiter, brighter teeth can make you look years younger. Tooth whitening has grown in popularity and there are several ways you can get the results you want.
The fastest way is an in-office whitening system called Zoom!, a system that is safe, effective and very fast. In just over an hour your teeth will be dramatically whiter. The procedure is simple and painless. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. A whitening gel is placed on your teeth, which is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter. A fluoride treatment completes the procedure. In addition, we give you trays and gel to take home for touch-ups. With proper care and an occasional touch-up, your whiter Zoom! smile will sparkle for years.
Another method used is a bleaching process that lightens the enamel and dentin using a mild bleaching solution placed in a custom-fitting tray. The tray is worn over your teeth for a period of time, depending on the results you want. The process is safe, the tooth structure is not changed; only the tooth color is made lighter.
Teeth whitening can sometimes make your teeth temporarily more sensitive. This usually goes away within a few days. If you use coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco, these substances can cause your teeth to darken more quickly. Touch-up applications will help eliminate this problem.
