Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to restore the color of natural tooth enamel and is an 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 using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.

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?

The first type of tooth whitening is making a custom tray and requires two visits.  We are offering a special on the custom tray system, down from $325 to $150. At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear plastic, trays.  You will receive your new custom tray with applicators of whitening solution at your second appointment.  You will try in the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary.  The trays are worn with special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight.  You will repeat this process for a couple of weeks depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening.  It is not uncommon to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching.

The other option for whitening is a take home kit of Tres White whitening strips.  These are liners that are placed on the teeth and left for a short time to begin the process of whitening the teeth.  The whitening solution in this method of whitening is not as strong as that used in the custom trays, but is a very effective method of whitening.  We have two options for the TresWhite system now available.  We are offering the 15 minute TresWhite strips at $100 per box or the original TresWhite strips at $75 per box.  Buy two original boxes of TresWhite strips for $100.

Within a very short time you will experience dazzling white teeth at a very affordable price.  New patients are required to have a thorough dental examination and cleaning prior to whitening.
