In-Office Accelerated Whitening
You can have a whiter smile in about 90 minutes using our in-office whitening technique. We use a cool light-activated solution to achieve these quick results. For a high percentage of our patients, this whitening technique has been very successful. If you have a hectic schedule that makes wearing whitening trays every night for several weeks impossible, ask us about our in-office whitening technique.
Take-Home Whitening
The more traditional tray whitening takes a little longer to complete, but has great results for many people. Tray whitening is accomplished by wearing a form-fitted matrix containing a whitening or whitening agent at home for two to four weeks.
We will make a mold of your teeth and make the trays to fit snugly to your teeth to prevent the whitening gel from spilling. Usually you place these trays over your teeth before going to sleep and take them out in the morning. Our dental staff will discuss with you the most appropriate treatment.
With tray whitening most people will notice a change in the color of their teeth the first night they bleach. Tray whitening takes about seven to ten days to complete.
A smile darkened with the color of yellow, brown or orange responds better to whitening than brown or white spots caused by fluorosis, smoking or tetracycline (grayed teeth). If you have very sensitive teeth or teeth with worn enamel, we can use whitening materials that are designed specifically for sensitive teeth.
