Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Tooth whitening is not permanent.  A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.

Reasons for tooth whitening:

• Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
• Normal wear of outer tooth layer.
• Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
• Yellow, brown stained teeth.

What does tooth whitening involve?

This type of tooth whitening  requires two visits.  At the first appointment, molds will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear plastic, trays. Approximately three days later, we will have you in for delivery. You will receive care instructions for your teeth and trays, and be encouraged to visit us  regularly to help maintain a beautiful, healthy, white smile.
