Teeth Whitening can give you the confidence boost you deserve! We know teeth come in a spectrum of colors. Even when brushed to shine, there might still be a persistent yellow tint. Don’t let that hold your self-image back. Let’s give you a smile to smile about.
We offer professional, in-office teeth whitening. We use a system called Opalescence because it has proven to be the best for our clients.
Overall, we find Opalescence to be safe, effective, and comfortable for our clients… But, enough about us.
A clinical assistant will thoroughly clean your teeth. We don't want any plaque to interfere with your perfect smile. We might also photograph your teeth to record the initial shade. We want to blow you away with the before and after pics.
While Opalescence is great for sensitive teeth, it can still irritate our gums. So, we apply a protective barrier to shield your gums.
We mix our whitening gel and carefully apply it to your teeth. This gel is left on for around 20 minutes so it can work its magic. Then we remove it.
Depending on how many shades you want, we can reapply the gel, repeating the cycle a few times. Don’t worry; between applications, we will check on you to make sure you’re comfortable.
After all that, you rinse your mouth, and we take post-treatment photographs to show you your progress.
Overall, our in-office teeth whitening procedure takes an average of 40 minutes, sometimes an hour.
We personally recommend relaxing. But professionally, we urge you to stay away from certain staining foods for 48 to 72 hours afterward. You can gradually reintroduce these foods after the first few days. It’s best to continue avoiding pigmented foods for at least a week for optimal results.
We enjoy these foods as much as the next person. Eating them after your teeth whitening treatment can reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.
There are plenty of meats, grains, starches, fruits, and vegetables you can eat afterward.
The best thing you can do is maintain good oral habits. Regular brushing and flossing— all the stuff you’re used to dentists saying. We might also recommend limiting the amount of staining foods you eat, like coffee and red wine. But brushing and flossing will do the most for your longevity.
Smoking cigarettes also seriously discolor your teeth, so avoid smoking if you don’t already have a reason to do so.
A one-hour appointment once a year is a pretty minimal time commitment for confidence-boosting teeth.
What’s holding you back from your ideal smile? Sensitive teeth? Too little time? Or just a love for red wine? Schedule a consultation so we can help you achieve your perfect smile.
