Do you want a whiter, brighter smile?
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel. It is an easy and ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is an at home method that can whiten teeth dramatically. We offer personalized take-home teeth whitening kits with custom-made trays that can help you reach the fabulous results you desire.
Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate whether any old fillings or crowns will need to be replaced. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
Teeth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed every couple of years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine. The benefit of the at home method is that your custom trays will last for years, so you can easily touch-up whenever you feel the need.
Reasons for teeth whitening:
- Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
- Normal wear of outer tooth layer.
- Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
- Yellow, brown stained teeth.
