These days, there are a variety of products and techniques available for patients who want to try teeth whitening! The best way to begin any teeth whitening treatment is to request a consultation and talk to your dentist about what choice is best for you depending on your needs. We offer at-home teeth whitening.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
We offer new, convenient and quick teeth whitening technique: Opalescense Go. You wear the pre-made trays for 20 to 30 minutes, once a day, for 3 to 7 days to see the whiteness you like. It is less expensive. A box of 10 sets for ten days, costs only around $70-$100.
NO impression and no time waiting for customized trays to be made. Please call if you are interested.
One major down side about whitening your teeth is sensitivity from mild to severe depends on how your teeth and your pain tolerance is.
You can try the lowest to highest (10%, 15%, 20%) concentration of Hydrogen peroxide in the whitening gel.
You can not whiten your teeth if you have already had veneers, crowns and large fillings in front teeth because they will not change the color after whitening your natural teeth. You can not whiten your teeth if you have holes and many cavities. You can not whiten your teeth if you have moderate to severe gum recession because these cause extreme pain.
