Bleaching
Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with our simple "bleaching" procedure.
It's safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to begin bleaching. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much of each shows when you talk and smile.
Dental bleaching can be used to correct many tooth discolorations. These discolorations may have been caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, "brilliant" smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice. But because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.
We offer Home Bleaching products as well as In-Office ZOOM! and BriteSmile Bleaching. Come in for a consultation and find out which system is best for you.

ZOOM! Bleaching
The Zoom! Whitening procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. Then we apply the Zoom Whitening Gel, which is activated by a specially designed light. The gel is placed and activated with the light for three 20 minute sessions. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You'll be amazed with the results. At the end of the appointment you will be given custom trays to take home for future touch ups. It is ideal for anyone who wants to immediate results.
BriteSmile Bleaching
BriteSmile Bleaching system is very similar to the ZOOM Bleaching but uses a
different gel and light. The BriteSmile Whitening treatment
consists of a gentle hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel activated by a special,
patented light operating in the gentle "blue spectrum." The patented BriteSmile
light is not UV, heat or laser-activated. It is a gentle, blue light that is
wavelength matched to our whitening gel to effectively whiten and brighten your
teeth in just about an hour. The gel and light were both developed
by BriteSmile, Inc. and are available exclusively at the offices of BriteSmile
Associated Dentists. All you have to do is sit back and relax while we do the
rest.
An impression is taken to make a specialized "mouthguard" or "stent" to hold
the bleach against the teeth. In only a day or two your custom
bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special
bleaching agent that you put into the clear, almost invisible stent. With only a
few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out
of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing
dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the brightness you want, only
occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We'll want to take
"after" photos at your next appointment. Over-the-counter
bleaching agents are available at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since
these products can harm the gums and teeth, itís better to use products that our
practice recommends.
