Whitening

WHAT DOES TEETH WHITENING ACCOMPLISH?

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your smile with teeth whitening gel. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.

Tooth-whitening procedures offer patients with stained, discolored, or dull teeth an opportunity to have a whiter, brighter smile. 

Whitening significantly reduces external surface stains affected by food and beverage. We provide an at-home whitening system, which is comfortable and affordable, in conjunction with in-office appointments to monitor progress. We take impressions of your mouth to prepare your custom-fitted trays and specifically select a whitening program for you. The process is then completed in the comfort of your own home.

Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening 

  • Corrects brown, yellow, and spotted tooth staining
  • Works on people of any age
  • It is a near-permanent solution for a “dull” smile, restoring brightness and bringing a smile alive

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about a week or two, and significant whitening will occur at the end of this time. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging, or stained teeth.

COLGATE® IN-OFFICE WHITENING

We whiten both rows of teeth simultaneously with a short, in-office treatment. Just put in a specialized mouthguard that we fill with Colgate® Optic White® Professional teeth whitening gel. After about half an hour, your smile will be noticeably brighter!

OPALESCENCE CUSTOM TRAY WHITENING

These custom trays apply the whitening gel to your teeth. For optimal results, patients should whiten at home as instructed by Dr. Lund for one to two weeks. After that, trays should be worn one to two nights per month to maintain ideal brightness!
