Teeth Whitening: Get The Beautiful White Smile You've Always Wanted!
Teeth Whitening
Whitening will help achieve that dazzling, youthful and confident smile.
It is highly effective for patients who have stained or yellowed teeth due to aging and drinking coffee or tea, and smoking.
The whitening will last from 1 to 5 years depending upon personal habits.
We offer two types of Bleaching:
Home Bleaching
- Clear trays are fabricated to fit exactly over the teeth.
- The patient is instructed how to apply the whitening gel into the tray and how to wear it.
- The active ingredient of the whitening gel is carbamide peroxide.
Power Bleaching
- The active ingredient is 40% hydrogen peroxide gel.
- An ultraviolet light activates the gel and the teeth are whitened in 20 to 30 minutes.
