We provide Free lifetime in-home teeth whitening for all of our patients. This includes the custom fabrication of dental whitening trays. An impression of your teeth is required. These trays allow the whitening gel to contact your teeth and stay away from your gum tissue. Any necessary dental treatment should be completed before proceeding with whitening to ensure the health and safety of your teeth. At each six-month cleaning appointment, we will provide more whitening gel to ensure your smile stays bright.
Our dentists can whiten teeth dramatically using various forms of hydrogen peroxide. One form, carbamide peroxide, is most often used in the form of a gel, and placed into a special tray that is custom-fitted to your teeth. The tray is worn in the mouth for one to four hours per treatment. When in contact with the teeth, the carbamide peroxide releases oxygen that releases the stain on your teeth. This process is safe and effective with only a few temporary side effects. This treatment can be applied at home under periodic supervision by your dentist.
Laser/Light Activated Teeth Whitening:
In addition to the professional at home whitening we now offer a state-of-the art in-office bleaching system that noticeably brightens teeth. Bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and a blue light is used to activate the bleach crystals. The teeth absorb the energy from the light and bleach, lightening the teeth. In less than an hour, patients walk out of the office with an improved smile.
The great advantage to this system is that it is fast and effective. One visit of 45 minutes is usually all that is needed to get a brighter smile.

Laser Teeth Whitening can be performed on anyone. Of course, children should wait until they have all their adult teeth.
