TOOTH  WHITENING

Most of us would like to have a whiter smile.  Today there are may bleaching (whitening) options.  Choices range from high concentration in office bleaching, lower concentration at-home bleaching, and over the counter (OTC) products.  While bleaching is the quickest and most cost-effective way of obtaining a whiter smile, it can be confusing to choose the best method with so many options available. 

The most important and first step in any procedure is to seek the advice of your Dentist for a thorough examination, assessment and recommendation.  This visit will result in the whitest smile possible by making sure that your mouth and teeth are healthy, and any oral heal problems are addressed prior to beginning the bleaching process.   The recommendation your Dentist makes for bleaching will depend on your personal needs such as time, cost, and the type of fillings or dental work you presently have, including tooth colored fillings or crowns.  Only natural teeth respond to bleaching agents. 

Bleaching will continue to provide an excellent, safe and cost-effective way to improve your smile.  Your Dentist will determine which of your teeth will whiten, and the best product for your individual needs.
