Teeth-whitening is a cosmetic procedure that uses special agents to break up and remove surface stains from the enamel layer of your teeth. Before we recommend whitening, we will check that your teeth are healthy, and that your gums are in tip-tip condition. Then we can recommend one of our take-home whitening kit, to impressively brighten your smile in about two weeks.
If you’ve been tempted to try the drug store kits, we understand. They promise a lot, but frankly, they can’t deliver like the potent, professional strength kit provided by a caring dental office. Not only are the bleaching agents stronger, but you know that expert advice is as close as the phone. Our kits come with reusable trays, too, for later touch ups if needed.
Sometimes your teeth need a little more help then whitening alone can provide. At a cosmetic consultation, we can discuss what bothers you about your smile, and come up with a plan. Whether gentle reshaping of a chipped tooth would help, or if something more intense could improve your smile, we can offer our expertise. Whitening might be just one important step in moving towards your ideal smile.
