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 discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful "brilliant" smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.
It's safe, quick, and inexpensive. In-office whitening is a one-hour procedure using a strong bleaching gel and a special light to assist the bleaching agent to help lighten the teeth. In some cases you may notice your teeth may lighten up by 10 shades. At the Dental Specialty Group we offer a whitening for life program. Once you have done in-office whitening we will make you custom take home bleach trays. Your custom take home bleach trays will be fabricated specifically for you. When you come in for a cleaning and exam two times a year you will receive a free syringe of bleaching gel. With only a few hours of wear per day, the prescription strength bleaching agent continues to remove stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way when you use your take home trays. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.
Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to begin bleaching. We recommend an in office bleaching procedure followed by a take home bleaching regimen.
Over the counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends and are offered only through a dental professionals.
