At Home Bleaching

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with our simple "bleaching" procedure. Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discolorations caused by many factors. Staining by foods, wine, smoking, aging, or chemical damage to teeth can be altered or removed using the latest in bleaching technology. We can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, "brilliant" smile.

The key to successful bleaching lies in understanding its outstanding benefits and its limitations.

Key benefits to bleaching include

• Correcting brown, yellow and mottled tooth staining
• Bleaching works on people of all ages.
• A near permanent solution for a "dull" smile, restoring brightness and vitality.

Limitations of bleaching include

• Ineffectiveness on tooth colored fillings
• Limitations based on inherent color of teeth
• Difficulty in affecting root canal treated teeth
• No single tooth bleaching
• Significant sensitivity on persons with significant gum recession

The Procedure:

A simple discussion at any regularly scheduled visit or consultation visit to review the at home bleaching technique is essential. This will allow you to understand the benefits and limitations of the bleaching technique. A Smile Analysis of the teeth to be bleached will provide information about anticipated color and shade changes as well as potential issues involving existing fillings present on these front teeth. We will caution about potential areas of sensitivity.

After preliminary molds of your teeth are made, custom bleach trays will be ready in two days for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent which is placed into the clear, almost invisible custom molded trays. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent agitates stains out of your enamel without altering tooth structure or existing dental work. When your teeth reach the brightness you want, only occasional “touch-up” re-treatment is needed to maintain your new vibrant smile.
