teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most basic and popular cosmetic dental procedures. As we age, the tooth enamel—the visible, semitranslucent surface of our teeth—and the underlying dentin naturally tend to darken. Teeth can also accumulate stains from smoking and the consumption of beverages such as coffee and red wine.

There are two fundamental approaches to professional teeth whitening. In the first, you are provided with a small plastic tray containing a concentrated bleaching agent. This device is worn at home for a brief period on a daily basis. Depending on the condition of one’s gums, however, it is sometimes preferable to perform the procedure entirely in-office utilizing the second approach, commonly known as laser, or power, bleaching. This procedure also involves a topical bleaching agent, the effect of which is accelerated by the energy from a focused light source. The process generally takes about an hour.

We offer the very latest in laser bleaching—the Sapphire Whitening System. The safest such technology available, the Sapphire light emits no UV rays and the system is specially designed to guard against tooth sensitivity. You’ll be amazed at how much brighter your smile will look after just a single visit.
