Teeth Whitening:

Custom-made whitening trays and peroxide-based gel are used and worn over your natural teeth which can effectively lighten the shade of enamel and dentin of natural teeth. There are cases where treatment may not be effective and we will determine if you are a suitable candidate during your free consultation. Tooth whitening is ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth and most effective on mildly discolored teeth. Darker stains may take longer or may not respond to whitening treatments. Also, the degree of whiteness will vary from person to person. The most common causes of tooth discoloration are due to aging and staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco and red wine. Tooth whitening will not whiten dentures, crown and bridge, composite restorations or natural darkened by trauma, tetracycline or nerve degeneration.
