Teeth Whitening
We can now whiten your teeth to improve their appearance . Whiter teeth can give a person a more youthful, friendly appearance and improve your confidence.
There are two basic types:
At home tray bleaching
We take impressions of your teeth and fabricate clear plastic trays for your teeth. You place a bleach solution in trays for about two hours a day for 8-10 days The teeth will need touching up every 6 months depending on the patients habits ie; smoking, coffee, tea.
In Office Laser Bleaching (Zoom)
We place a bleach solution on your teeth and place your teeth under what is called an arc light for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The results are immediate but will tone down without home follow up bleaching.
Bleaching works best for people with a yellowish discoloration.
It can cause some temporary gum and tooth sensitivity in some people. Tooth structure cannot be damaged by bleaching. Also note that any restoration can not be bleached ie; crowns and bonding.
