Whitening

Tooth whitening is one of the quickest and easiest methods for improving your smile.

Years of drinking coffee and tea or smoking may have caused your teeth to discolour. Sometimes tooth discoloration is caused by illness, medication, trauma or injury.

Once you have decided that you would like to improve the whiteness of your teeth, we will determine if you are a good candidate for tooth whitening. Before we go ahead we will check the strength and condition of your teeth.

Tooth whitening is actually a bleaching process and this can be accomplished by one of two methods. We will recommend the best one for you based upon the amount of discoloration you are experiencing and the strength of your teeth. Our whitening programs, whether passive or active, are far more effective than over-the-counter products or whitening toothpastes.

Passive Tooth Whitening:
This procedure is performed at home with periodic visits to our office to ensure the treatment is professionally supervised and your teeth and gums remain healthy. A customized bleaching tray is made for you, which holds the whitening solution. Depending upon the degree of discoloration, you will undergo a prescribed treatment plan of a few days to a few weeks.
