Teeth are exposed to various chemicals in food and oral bacteria over the years which could cause them to lose their white and sparkly appearance. Teeth whitening is a simple, effective cosmetic dental treatment that we offer to make your teeth look noticeably whiter and brighter in as little as one treatment. Our professional teeth whitening treatments utilize a powerful yet safe whitening gel containing 15% to 43% peroxide, that is applied to the surface of your teeth. This peroxide gel works to lighten the appearance of stains, discoloration, and yellowing on the tooth enamel. Keeping the gel on longer will lead to better results but can dehydrate the tooth and increase tooth sensitivity, as a result in-office whitening under expert supervision helps obtain the best results while keeping your teeth safe. Additionally, in-office whitening uses heat, light, or a combination of the two to speed up and intensify the whitening process, guaranteeing the best results in the shortest time. Typically, in-office whitening procedures result in whitening that is three to eight shades brighter than at-home whitening kits.
