Enhance Your Smile with Professional Whitening
Bright, white teeth enhance your smile’s appeal. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options that are simple, effective, and deliver dramatic results.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Hydrogen peroxide penetrates tooth enamel to dissolve stains and can gradually reach the dentin layer beneath. Over time, it whitens teeth, restoring their natural color.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
A bright smile enhances your confidence in social situations. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry notes that 48% of people remember a smile when meeting someone new. However, habits like drinking coffee, red wine, and eating berries can stain your teeth over time. Our in-office and at-home whitening treatments can restore your smile’s brightness and appeal.
What to Expect?
Before your teeth whitening session, we’ll conduct a consultation to discuss your goals and assess your oral health. We will also perform a quick cleaning to ensure the best results from the whitening process.
The whitening process takes about an hour, involving multiple 15-minute sessions with a bleaching agent applied to your teeth. While you relax in our office, you can enjoy music or watch TV. After the procedure, we’ll provide tips on maintaining your bright, new smile.
