An Introduction To Teeth Whitening

smileneutralHave you been feeling somewhat unhappy about your appearance because your smile is not as white as you would like? Changes in the shade of your smile, such as yellowing, a brownish tint, or darkening can change an otherwise beautiful smile into a feature you wish to hide. Rather than feeling the need to keep your smile to yourself, we encourage you to learn more about teeth whitening. By choosing this cosmetic treatment, you can say goodbye to discoloration and hello to a glittering grin.

Who Should Choose Teeth Whitening?

If you are a patient who wants a whiter smile, you are on the road toward becoming an excellent candidate for teeth whitening. You should consider this treatment if your staining is caused by factors like tobacco use, the natural aging process, or foods and beverages. You may also make a good candidate if you are looking for a way to brighten your natural teeth. However, we may need to suggest an alternative option if any of the following is true:

  • You are looking for a way to whiten prosthetics or porcelain veneers
  • Your teeth are severely stained, which may occur due to internal damage or medication side effects
  • You are in need of restorative care, which we may need to perform before offering cosmetic services

About Your Teeth Whitening Treatment

We offer take-home teeth whitening for our patients, which means you can enjoy the comfortable atmosphere of your own home while you brighten your grin. To begin, we will take impressions of your smile and craft custom-made bleaching trays for you. During your course of treatment, you will fill these trays with bleaching gel and wear them once a day for approximately 10 days to two weeks. The result? A much brighter, vibrant smile.
