You may notice that your teeth have become dull or discolored over time. This can occur due to a number of factors, including:

• The natural aging process
• Poor dental hygiene habits
• Use of tobacco products, including smoking and chewing tobacco
• Frequent consumption of foods and drinks that stain
• Certain medical conditions or illnesses
• The use of certain medications
• Fluorosis (excessive consumption of fluoride)

Fortunately, most discoloration and staining can be corrected and the appearance of your teeth improved with a professional teeth whitening treatment. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available today. It is a fast, efficient and cost-effective option for enhancing the appearance of your teeth and renewing your smile. At our practice, we provide both in-office and take-home whitening treatments to help you achieve your smile goals and make your treatment experience as convenient as possible.

Both in-office and take-home whitening treatments rely on the use of a powerful whitening gel which is applied to your teeth. This gel works to break up the stains and discoloration on your tooth enamel to leave you with a bright, beautiful smile. With in-office whitening, this gel is activated by a special light which speeds up the whitening process, allowing you to leave our office after a single treatment session with a noticeably whiter smile. Take-home whitening, on the other hand, involves placing this gel into custom-made trays, which you then place into your mouth and wear as directed by our dentists. You can wear the trays at any time, day or night, making it incredibly convenient for your schedule, and over a period of several weeks. Your teeth will gradually lighten in color until they reach your desired shade of white.

Our dentists will discuss your smile goals and your whitening options with you to find the type of whitening that is right for your needs. We welcome you to call our office today to find out more about teeth whitening and make your appointment!
