Teeth Whitening Brick Township

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “whitening” procedure.

What are the details of teeth whitening?

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. Whitening can be done by a professional, in-office, in less than 2 hours, or the convenience of at-home whitening is an option!

With a simple in-office scan, using the iTero scanner, your custom at home whitening trays will be ready for you to pick up within a week. We provide you with a safe, special whitening agent that you put into the clear trays. With only a few hours of wear per day, stains are removed 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 desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. 

Dental whitening can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in whitening 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 whitening treatments, teeth whitening is nearly always worth a solid try.

If you are interested in a quicker, brighter smile with less work at home, we offer in-office whitening. Typically appointments are about an hour and a half, and you leave the office with an immediate, brighter smile! In-office whitening is a great way to kick start the whitening process. Typical results are one to two shades lighter. If your looking for an even lighter smile, you are welcome to get take home trays for an enhanced look or to use for future touch ups! Combination treatment will have your bright smile lasting longer.

How is at home teeth whitening done?

An impression free, iTero scan is taken to make a specialized “tray” to hold the bleach against the teeth. Hydrogen peroxide gel is used each night for about 1-2 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, whitening technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. The benefit in having custom trays, is that touch ups can be done at any time! When you are in for your regular scheduled appointments, just ask the front desk about purchasing extra whitening gel. 

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.
