Services: Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can be used to correct discoloration of the teeth by removing the brown and yellow staining.  Before the patient embarks on the home teeth whitening regimen, we create a custom mouth tray for the patient. The custom tray is a critical component of the treatment. It ensures that the correct amount of whitening solution is used and that the patient's teeth are properly exposed to the whitening solution. Because our whitening trays are custom fit to each patient’s mouth they increase the margin of patient safety.  They provide a better fit and quicker overall results than the one-size-fits-all types of whitening trays which are typically found in most department stores.

The steps in the home teeth whitening regimen are fairly straightforward. Our office provides each patient with materials and instructions for proper whitening techniques.  We also answer any questions a patient may have.  We can be reached by phone for any questions a patient has while they are in the process of tooth whitening at home.

A home whitening session can last for one to three hours, during which time a patient will have the whitening tray and whitening solution in his mouth.  A typical whitening regimen usually lasts between seven to ten days.  The results can last for one or more years depending on a patient’s personal habits.  Whitening procedures are very effective in most cases and can provide noticeable differences in the overall brightness of a patient’s teeth.
