What are my whitening options?
In-Office Bleaching - This procedure is ideal if you want immediate results. The whole process takes about an hour, taking little time out of busy lives. A protective gel is applied to your gums to protect the soft tissue. Then a special light-activated gel is applied to your teeth and a laser light is used to enhance the action of the agent. Finally, the patient receives a take-home gel and instructions to keep the smile bright. The result is dramatically whiter teeth that will last for years.
Tray whitening - Tray whitening is a less-expensive and convenient at-home whitening treatment. The results are more gradual. A scan is taken at our office in order to create a customized clear tray. Trays are generally ready within a few days and instructions are given on how to apply the gel in the trays and how often to use it. Maximum whitening results and a dazzling smile are achieved at the end of the set treatment period. An occasional retreatment can be used to maintain the new smile.
Whitening Strips - There are plenty of over-the-counter options available, but our practice can provide competitive rates, plus knowledgeable suggestions. Certain ingredients in over-the-counter strips can lead to sensitivity. Let us help you choose the best convenient whitening option for you.
