Tooth bleaching involves the placement of a bleaching solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth - much like a mouthpiece worn by a professional boxer.
Bleaching is a safe, effective and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.
Two bleaching methods are available: Power Bleaching with a Laser, done at
our office, and At-Home-Bleaching, which provides for home use.
The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent and the time it takes to get effective results. Power bleaching usually takes
about one hour, while home bleaching may take up to four weeks of regular use.
Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are bleached.
