Teeth Whitening
Bringing Out Your Very Best Smile
If you'd like to smile more confidently, knowing your teeth are their whitest and brightest, you might want to consider dentist-supervised tooth whitening. Teeth whitening is a safe, effective, and lasting way to lighten most people's smiles, available in a wide variety of methods and concentrations for various kinds of teeth. Simply talk with Dr. Gage regarding the criteria for best results, how whitening could impact your particular situation, and which procedure will best suit your needs. Whitening treatments are most successful in removing yellow, brownish or orange tinges resulting from age, coffee, tea, or smoking. However, dark gray tones from fluorosis, smoking or tetracycline use, often will not whiten as dramatically; artificial materials such as silicants or porcelains do not whiten at all. Finally, sensitive teeth, teeth with periodontal disease, and teeth with worn enamel typically do not respond well to whitening.
We offer two methods of whitening: supervised at-home teeth whitening and "power" in-office teeth whitening. Typically, we'll start with our supervised at-home method, requiring just a couple of appointments for taking an impression, fitting your customized whitening appliance, and providing detailed instructions; it produces results via daily sessions over one or more weeks of wear, and can result in about a 2 shade improvement as seen on our shade scale. If this doesn't produce the results you desire, we can often enhance the lightness with our 90-minute in-office technique, which can improve color by up to 8 shades. In any case, you can best preserve your new, brighter smile by limiting habits such as smoking, drinking coffee, and drinking tea.
