There are a couple of excellent ways to
whiten your teeth.
You can use the
dentist-supervised tooth whitening technique,
with the custom-made tray, where we provide you with the materials and you perform the treatment
yourself at home.
If you want faster
results, you can use the power
whitening technique in the office. We will do most of the work for
you, and you will leave the office with teeth that are several shades
lighter.
We use the Zoom tooth whitening system from Discus Dental. In one
appointment, your teeth can be dramatically whiter. It's a simple process.
Here are some pictures to show you how it works:
Step 1:
We place a retractor to hold your lips away from your teeth, and
we'll place a napkin to cover your lips.
Step 2:
We place a coating over your gums to protect them, and then the Zoom
whitening gel is placed on your teeth.
Step 3: You sit under the Zoom light
for a few minutes.
Then
you're done and ready to enjoy your beautiful white smile!
We will then give you a set of
custom made clear trays to continue the whitening process at home.
Otherwise, the brightness will fade away. Wear the trays with the
bleaching gel for a certain period of time each day, and your teeth
will be permanently lighter.
While bleaching is a permanent
treatment, your teeth do tend to continue to pick up stains from
food and drink throughout your life. Save your trays and your
left-over gel, and about once a year use them to touch up your teeth
to maintain that beautiful white appearance.
