What is tooth whitening:

Most dental patients are interested in having the whitest, brightest smiles possible. At one time, crowns (caps) were the only alternative to restoring badly discolored or decayed teeth. More recently, porcelain veneers and composite bonding have become available. Now there is another alternative to make natural teeth look their brightest. This process reverses the discoloration of tooth enamel to create a whiter, more esthetic appearance. The advantages of this procedure are that no natural tooth structure is lost and no anesthetic is required!

Teeth become discolored by age, tobacco use, certain medications, and staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine. In most cases, our office can whiten teeth that have become stained. Using the latest technology, we can now perform a compete whitening procedure in a single office visit. Tooth Whitening is a bleaching process that reverses discolorations of enamel (the outside layer of tooth structure) to create a whiter, brighter appearance. Using the Luma Whitening System, the entire whitening process takes less than 1 hour. Your new smile can help you look younger, healthier, and more vibrant! Clinical whitening is proven to be safe and effective and carry the American Dental Association Seal of approval.
