In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth whitening is the fastest option that we offer. During your treatment, we’ll place a protective rubber barrier around your gums and apply a teeth whitening gel of 15 to 35 percent carbamide peroxide to your teeth. Depending on the method you choose, we may also use a special light to achieve more drastic results. After about an hour, you’ll be able to enjoy a noticeably brighter smile.

At home professional teeth whitening kit

At-Home Teeth Whitening

If you have a busier schedule or would prefer to complete the process in the comfort of your own home, we also offer professional at-home teeth whitening kits. For these, we’ll craft a customized bleaching tray to make sure that your results are even. The kit contains an at-home whitening gel with 10 percent carbamide peroxide. All you need to do is line your customized whitening trays with the gel and wear them for an hour each day. Within about two weeks, you’ll be able to notice dramatic results.

Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening

You can also purchase home use whiteners over the counter. While there are so many on the market, most of these products are not as effective as the bleaching methods available in our dental office. If you prefer to use a store-bought whitening system, ask us which product would work best for you. We want you to have a smile you will be proud of, so we’re happy to help. Use over-the-counter products as directed, and never use whiteners for more than the recommended time period.

Teeth Whitening Toothpastes

If your teeth are sensitive to bleaching, your dentists may recommend a dentifrice (whitening toothpaste). These contain chemical or polishing agents to gently remove stains from the surface of your teeth. While your teeth won’t be as white as if you used a bleaching system, whitening toothpaste is safe, easy to use, and can be purchased over the counter.
