WHITENING
Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting than treatments you find over the counter. As we age, our teeth darken over time. We can brighten your teeth up to five times in a single session, but maintaining good oral hygiene and steering away from certain foods and beverages will help keep any future whitening services to a minimum.
In-office Whitening
We offer light activated in office whitening that is able to bleach your teeth by up to five shades in one twenty minute session.

Some patients find that whitening causes sensitivity. This can be kept to a minimum through the use of a prescription strength fluoride gel or paste. If you find that your teeth are sensitive following whitening, have no fear. The sensitivity will resolve in 5-10 days.
​
Post-procedure Care
We also offer custom whitening trays for home use following your in office whitening session. These trays are fabricated from an exact model of your teeth and will fit like a glove! They hold prescription strength whitening gel against the enamel of your teeth. You can wear them at any time during the day or night from the comfort of your own home.
