Teeth Whitening

Your teeth will darken over time. Changes in the color of your teeth can be caused by such factors as the food and beverages consumed (like coffee, tea and soda). Other known factors for discoloration may include childhood medications or illnesses, tobacco use or improper oral hygiene.

At-Home Bleaching

At-home bleaching involves low-concentration whitening trays sent home from your dentist or over-the-counter whitening products such as gels, strips and rinses. This type of bleaching requires a longer period of treatment – from a week to two weeks – using the product for a certain number of hours each day.

Please remember that not all stains will respond to bleaching. In addition, bleaching will not work on tooth-colored fillings or dental bonding. We recommend not bleaching your teeth if you have infected gums or tooth decay.
