Having a beautiful
smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve
the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple
“bleaching” procedure. |
What are the details?
Key Benefits
- Corrects brown, yellow and spotted
tooth staining
- Works on people of any age
- Is a near permanent solution for
a “dull” smile, restoring brightness and
brings a smile alive
It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive.
Just let us know at any appointment if you would like
to begin bleaching. You can lighten only your upper teeth
or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you
show when you talk and smile.
In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be
ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special
bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With
only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching
agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very
short time without altering tooth structure or existing
dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired
brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain
your new smile. We’ll want to take “after”
photos at your next appointment.
Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration.
Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical
damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology,
we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant”
smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns
or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the
low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly
always worth a solid try.
How is it done?
An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard”
or “stent” to hold the bleach against the
teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours
for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant
whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing
short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching
technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing,
aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth,
crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations
Over the counter bleaching agents are available for purchase
at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products
can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better
to use products that our practice recommends.
