Whitening your teeth at home often involves using a custom fitted mouth guard into which a whitening solution is placed. These fitted mouth guards will help protect your gums from irritation that often occurs while using ill-fitted, over-the-counter whitening mouth pieces. After the solution is placed in the mouth guard, it is placed over the teeth and left on for a few hours or overnight depending on the type of whitening solution. Ask us if home whitening is right for you.

One of the most requested procedures asked of a dental office is teeth whitening. This is a procedure that will assist in removing stains and discoloration from teeth while lightening them.

Whitening can only be completed once cavities are treated in order to prevent the whitening solution from reaching the inner tooth and causing sensitivity. Please keep in mind that teeth whitening is unable to lighten exposed tooth roots or tooth replacements, such as crowns and veneers.
