Are you happy with your smile? What do you think of your teeth when you look in the mirror? I see a lot of patients in my practice who are not confident in the appearance of their teeth. You may think that extensive cosmetic work is necessary to regain a youthful smile, but often that is not the only solution. Tooth whitening can be an excellent beginning to a radiant, younger looking smile.

Just like we all have different hair and skin color, people also have different tooth color. Some teeth are more yellow than others, while others yellow with aging. Your natural tooth color can also be affected by many factors. The natural aging process, as well as surface staining from coffee, tea, cola, or tobacco can all contribute to the yellowing of teeth. Tooth bleaching works by applying a peroxide solution to the teeth which breaks stains apart.

There are many over the counter products available to whiten teeth, but an in-office treatment will provide the greatest results. Our office offers different intensities of bleaching, depending on your natural tooth shade and your intended goal. The most dramatic whitening results come from a procedure we are thrilled to provide called Deep Bleaching. This series of two office visits begins with the teeth being “conditioned” to bleaching. We provide take home trays for you to continue the whitening process on your own, and we finally seal the teeth after an intensive in-office whitening session.

I have seen many patients amazed with the results they have seen with this procedure. It is always a joy to see people beaming as they leave the office. Whether you are looking to impress at an upcoming special event, such as a wedding or reunion, or you want to boost your overall self esteem from having a beautiful smile, tooth whitening can provide dramatic results. If you have any questions about bleaching, or you are ready to schedule an appointment, give our office a call.
