Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting that treatments you find over the counter. As we age, our teeth darken over time. We can brighten your teeth several shades in a single session, but maintaining good oral hygiene and steering away from certain foods and beverages will help keep any future whitening services to a minimum. We may also prescribe some medication for you to use at home that helps the whitening process.
In-office Whitening
If you desire the whitest white smile, and you would prefer it now then this is your treatment of choice. In-office whitening allows us to safely monitor the whitening process while under the supervision of a dentist, while also using professional strength products not available over the counter. There are many ways to whiten teeth, but this is the fastest, whitest way to do it.

Application of gum protectant
Application of whitening agent
Whitening agent is light-activated

Take Home Whitening Custom Trays
If you are not as worried about having the whitest smile now, then home whitening is an alternative option. Home whitening still can increase your smile several shades whiter and if you use professional products, it will still happen sooner than products over the counter. Let us know if you are interested and we can help guide you regardless of what option you choose.
