Now you can brighten your smile with our powerful whitening treatments that lighten discolorations caused by coffee, tea, wine, cigarettes, medication, or aging. You’ll notice the difference immediately…and so will everyone else. The natural color of teeth is not white. They are typically a shade of either yellow or gray and tooth color varies from person to person. The procedure to whiten teeth is fairly simple but there are some rules that need to be followed to achieve and maintain good results.

– Tray Bleaching
Zoom! — In-Office One hour Whitening

With our Tray Bleaching tooth whitening procedure, you are given take-home custom trays and a bleaching gel. You are in control of your whitening process, and in just 7-10 days you will see an average whitening of 6 shades whiter that will last up to 2 years. Dr. Shulkin highly recommends this method if you have experienced tooth sensitivity in the past.

• Studies show that people with white teeth make a better first impression!

How long will Whitening Last?

Since the results vary from patient to patient there is no firm answer. We do know that teeth tend to darker as time passes so touch up treatments are occasionally needed to get the teeth to lighten. Your eating, drinking, smoking and home care habits definitely have an effect on how long the treatment lasts. Remember that the base share of teeth is yellow or white and that we cannot whiten this base color. However, most patients are very satisfied with the results or whitening treatment.

What are the side effects?

Some patients report a temporary increase in sensitivity. Tender gums are also a known side effect especially if you are whitening at home and use too much of the whitening solution. Remember that if a little is good that a lot will not make your teeth any whiter.

Is everyone a candidate for whitening?

*NO! There is no whitening solution for most dental work such as fillings, crowns, veneers, and partial or full dentures. If the color of your teeth matches the color of your dental work before whitening, the color of your teeth will most likely be a different color after whitening than the color of the dental work after whitening. You are making a commitment to replacing those restorations if you whiten your teeth. We typically wait a few weeks after any whitening treatment to replace these restorations since we want to match the new color and we want the color to stabilize before choosing a color for the new restorations. Your gums must also be healthy and any decay must be treated since both of these can be a cause of sensitivity during whitening treatments.

Teeth whitening is not recommended for children whose teeth are still developing or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
