Teeth Whitening

The most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure performed today is teeth whitening. It is a fast, economical, and conservative way to improve your smile dramatically. In-office procedures can lighten your teeth several shades in a single visit. At-home whitening works a bit more gradually, with full results developing in about two weeks.

Teeth whitening, as we know it today, actually began as a periodontal treatment. A peroxide formula was used to clear up infection in the gums, around the teeth. A periodontist happily discovered that it was also whitening the teeth. Many styles of teeth whitening have come and gone, and there are many common truths and myths regarding teeth whitening. We'll try to explain a few of the most common.

One popular misconception is that ZOOM® is the best whitening system. Actually, it has been scientifically proven that the light accomplishes very little. The results are achieved by the chemicals, not the light, so it makes no difference whether the light is used or not. How well whitening works depends on what chemical is used, and how it is applied.

There are some minor processes available at drug stores and supermarkets, with strips that you put on your teeth. Over time, they will work – if you feel like you're going to live that long. If you want results that you can enjoy in just a couple of weeks, or even a single appointment, we offer several levels of professional whitening.

• Whitening Forever is a method of maintaining brilliant teeth, with whitening provided at your regular checkup.
• We offer an economical pre-formed tray whitening system.
• Custom tray whitening, which you are probably familiar with, is available.
• KöR whitening is considered the elite method of all the options available. It is the most expensive method, and the best.  It can only be provided by licensed offices.

Your dentist will explain the various options in greater detail, and help you choose the one that is right for you.
