Teeth Bleaching Options
-
In Office
“In-office” bleaching gives you immediate results and saves you two to three weeks of at-home bleaching by using a high concentrated bleaching agent in a controlled setting. “In office” bleaching takes approximately two hours in the dental office. You also receive custom-made trays to use at home for monthly maintenance bleaching.
-
home bleaching
Custom made trays will be fabricated for your at home bleaching. In two to three weeks of initial bleaching (once daily for 30 minutes) you whiten your teeth to your desired results. Because certain foods or drinks can affect the shade, monthly maintenance bleaching is recommended to keep your beautiful smile.

ready to use trays
This method is the easiest and the most convenient to use. Ready-made trays release whitening ingredients for a brighter smile in two weeks. The package typically contains 10 upper and 10 lower trays, giving you 10 applications. These economical trays are great for getting a bright smile for a special occasion.
Whitening strips are prepackaged bleach-containing strips that you apply to the front of your teeth. They are economical and show results in certain situations.
Tooth-colored fillings
Tooth-colored composite fillings are natural looking and in certain situations, are a long lasting alternative to silver fillings. Silver fillings tend to darken and give teeth a grayish tint. A composite resin restoration (tooth-colored filling) is a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles which will more easily match your natural tooth color. Enjoy a brighter and more confident smile with tooth-colored fillings.
Cosmetic Bonding
Bonding procedures use composite resin materials to change the shape or shade of your teeth. We can reshape one tooth or several, close spaces or cover blemishes to give you a fabulous smile.
Porcelain Veneer
Another alternative to change the shape or shade of your teeth is an all ceramic fingernail-like covering for the front of your tooth. If your tooth is not heavily restored, a porcelain veneer can save good tooth structure. Porcelain is the most natural looking dental material used today.
All Porcelain Crown
If a tooth needs to be completely covered with a crown, consider an all-ceramic crown. This crown does not have a typical metal liner. This allows light to be reflected in a way similar to natural tooth enamel. With the many different types and shades of porcelain available, we can match your existing teeth or change your look altogether. Your dental professional will discuss all the options with you and help you with a treatment plan to achieve the smile you desire.
