Custom Take Home Teeth Whitening
Whiten your teeth at home, at your convenience and within the
supervision of your dentist with a professionally formulated
bleaching system. It has been proven safe in clinical studies over a
period of many years. The primary ingredient is carbamide peroxide,
which has safely brightened the smiles of millions of people
worldwide.
Teeth naturally darken as we age. Over time, staining may be
caused by coffee, tea, soda, tobacco and certain foods.
Discoloration can also occur because of certain childhood illnesses,
medication or physical trauma. Teeth whitening will remove
discolorations with a gentle sustained release action that will
bleach stains within your teeth.
Impressions of your teeth will be taken to ensure proper fit of
custom made bleaching trays. Whitening gel is placed in these
comfortable trays and fitted over your teeth. As you whiten,
carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and
dentin. This bleaches out the discolored areas. The structure of the
tooth is not changed. The color of the tooth is simply made lighter.
Follow up visits are scheduled to monitor the whitening process and
answer any questions you may have.
Most patients wear their custom whitening trays while they sleep.
Most patients will need to bleach for only three to ten nights. With
proper oral health care and occasional bleaching touch-ups at home
will help maintain your new bright smile.
Take a step to feeling good, looking great and maximizing your
smile. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please

*The degree of whiteness will vary from person to person
depending on the condition and structure of the teeth
