One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to transform your smile is through teeth whitening. Depending on the amount of dental work you’ve had, your mouth’s sensitivity and the color of your teeth, your dentist can suggest one of a variety of appropriate whitening methods:

• Whitening toothpastes: Including mild abrasives and other agents, these can remove minor surface stains to subtly whiten the color of your teeth.
• Professional bleaching: Usually done in one visit, the dentist applies a bleaching agent to the teeth while shielding the gums to reduce possible irritation. Sometimes special lights are used to enhance the process. Natural teeth can be immediately whitened multiple shades.
• Home bleaching: This process typically involves a mouthguard containing a peroxide-based whitener which is applied to teeth over several days. This method is prescribed through our office and can be a lower cost than in-office treatments.
