What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a simple yet effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. We are pleased to offer professional teeth whitening to brighten smiles that have become dulled, discolored, or yellowed. Our teeth whitening treatment uses a powerful yet safe whitening gel, which is applied to the surface of the teeth. This gel lightens the appearance of discoloration, yellowing, and staining on the teeth.
While your results will depend on your individual situation and how your teeth respond to the treatment, most patients see noticeable results after just one or two treatments. The results from our professional whitening treatment usually last at least a few months. You can prolong the effects of your whitening treatment by avoiding staining foods such as wine, coffee, and tea. If you desire, you can always touch-up your smile with another whitening treatment.
Do I need teeth whitening?
