Tray Bleaching
If you want white teeth but don’t want to pay for the quick fix that BriteSmile offers, you can still have dazzling white teeth at a very low cost. We offer tray bleaching for our patients at an extremely reduced price. We take impressions of your teeth. In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear, almost invisible splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short amount of time without altering the structure of the teeth or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the brightness you want, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We'll want to take "after" photos at your next appointment.
Dental Bleaching can be used to correct many tooth discolorations. These discolorations may have been caused by staining, aging or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful "Brilliant" smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, bleaching may not be the answer and crowns, or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.
Key Benefits
- Corrects brown, yellow and mottled tooth staining
- Works on people of any age
- Is a near permanent solution for a "dull" smile, restoring brightness and brings a smile alive
How is it done?
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 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. 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. For very severely stained teeth, grey teeth, or teeth affected by tetracycline, crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations
Over the counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. These products are generally not as effective as the prescription bleaching products dispensed by our office.
