The Treatment Plan
You have two alternatives for treatment.
1- you can either make one to two appointments with our office for your whitening treatment. The dentist will then apply the treatment to remove any stains or discolorations, giving you a brighter, whiter smile.
2- or you can purchase the popular take home whitening kit which only requires 15 minutes of the dentists time! The complete transformation will be noticed in 7-10 days.
The in-office process is simple. First your teeth are polished to remove surface debris. A plastic "retractor" is put in your mouth to hold your cheeks and tongue out of the way and a rubber coating is applied to your gums to protect them. Then, the solution containing the whitening substance is painted on your teeth. A light activation system is then used to accelerate the whitening process. The solution is then removed and the process is repeated.
If you want a more pronounced effect you can use a combination of both treatments. Please ask our office for more information on both procedures. |
