Tooth whitening may be the greatest single cosmetic improvement anyone can consider! We offer three types of professional whitening treatments, all of which are safe and effective.
Appliance Whitening
A technique in which we fabricate thin custom appliances into which you will place a special whitening gel. The appliance is then worn either overnight or in two 30 minute sessions during the day - the choice is yours. Treatment time is typically two to three weeks. Maintenance of your result is ensured by using the appliances for several nights at three to six month intervals. Show me some examples
BriteSmile
An in-office technique where you come into the office and we do the "work" for you in one visit. During your visit we will place a special protective barrier over your gums for protection. We then apply a special light-activated whitening gel to the teeth and use a patented BriteSmile lamp to enhance the whitening effect. Although the typical treatment time is approximately one hour, plan to be in the office for two hours. Maintenance of your result is ensured by using the BriteSmile-To-Go whitening pens to apply gel to the tooth surfaces for several nights at three to six month intervals. Show me some examples.
Deep Bleaching
Our most impressive results occur with this technique. Deep Bleaching can whiten even some of the darkest teeth and produces the most fade-resistant results. Don't worry! Your teeth will not look "too white"! They will, however, look white and very clean. This treatment requires a bit more time and effort from both you and us - but the results are worth it.
Special appliances are custom fabricated and are used to provide a 40 minute, in-office treatment. Immediately afterwards, you will use these same appliances with a whitening gel to wear overnight for two weeks. You then return to the office for a last in-office session of one hour. Maintenance of your result is ensured by using the appliances for several nights at three to six month intervals. Show me some examples.
