Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening, or bleaching, is a simple, non-invasive treatment designed to improve the color of natural tooth enamel. Our office uses BriteSmile system to lighten which takes about 2 hours of your time to get as light as possible. About 20% of the time people are sensitive for a maximum of 12 hours after the procedure.
Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, or the like.
Tooth whitening is definitely not permanent. A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.
