Bleaching / Teeth Whitening

Our simple "bleaching" procedure is safe, quick and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to begin bleaching for your child. You can lighten only the child's upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much of each shows when your child talks and smiles.

In only a day or two, your custom bleach splints will be ready for your child. We provide your child with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear, nearly invisible splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of the enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When the teeth reach the brightness you want, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your child's new smile. We'll want to take "after" photos at your next appointment.

Dental bleaching can be used to correct many tooth discolorations. These discolorations may have been caused by staining or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, "brilliant" smile. Because of the low cost, bleaching is nearly always worth a try.

Key Benefits

• Corrects brown, yellow, and mottled tooth staining.
• Works on kids.
• Is a near permanent solution for a "dull" smile – restoring brightness and bringing a smile alive.

How Is It Done?

An impression is taken to make a specialized "mouthguard" or "stent" to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about three to four hours over a one-to-two-week period, after which significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology offers improvements in yellowing, or stained teeth.

Considerations

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available at drug stores and pharmacies; although economical, a satisfactory result can vary from patient to patient.
