A bright, beautiful smile portrays health and youthfulness, and a white smile is a confident smile. Some of the things you enjoy like good coffee, red wine, eating flavorful tomato sauces can dull your smile and stain your teeth. Instead of smiling brightly, you want to hide your teeth and cover your smile. The good news is you don’t have to give up the food and drinks you enjoy, our cosmetic teeth whitening services will brighten your smile without putting you on a diet.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry Teeth Whitening?

The only goal of cosmetic teeth whitening, or bleaching, is to brighten your teeth. Rather than changing the color of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry teeth whitening actually breaks stains into smaller pieces, which makes their color less concentrated, so it’s harder to see and your teeth appear brighter.

When you visit our office for a cosmetic teeth whitening appointment, we’ll examine your teeth and discuss your teeth whitening goals. Once we understand what you’re looking for, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and create custom bleaching trays that allow you to apply a special dental bleaching gel.

How to Care for Teeth After Professional Whitening

Once you’ve accomplished your teeth whitening goals, you want to do everything you can to maintain that bright, white finish.

What’s the Cost of Cosmetic Tooth Whitening?
