Teeth Whitening
The Smile You've Always Wanted
It's a fact: a brighter smile encourages self-confidence! And with today's technology and materials, whitening is one of the simplest, fastest, least expensive ways to bring that about. Used appropriately, the required products are safe, the results long-lasting, and the impact amazing.
Check It Out
Dr. Pearsall will be happy to discuss how whitening could impact your particular situation, as well as which procedure will best suit your needs. Of course, some people are better candidates than others for a successful whitening treatment. For example, if your teeth are darkened to a yellow, brownish or orange tinge due to age, coffee, tea or smoking, chances are very good that you’ll be very satisfied with the results of your whitening. However, if your teeth have been affected by smoking, fluorosis, or tetracycline, you may be less pleased with the results. Also note that whitening does not lighten resins, silicants or porcelains. Finally, teeth that are sensitive, that have periodontal disease or that have worn enamel typically do not respond well to whitening.
Go Ahead
Our inexpensive, at-home process includes: taking an impression of your teeth, creating light-weight, customized whitening trays, and giving you careful instructions as to proper frequency and duration of wearing sessions. At home, you'll wear the thin, comfortable trays for two to four treatment hours per day, over a period of three to six weeks; or less if you add night-time wear as well.
Get Smiling!
Most of the time, we see a two-shade improvement in our patients' teeth, as indicated on Dr. Pearsall’s shade guide. After your treatment, you'll want to preserve your new, brighter smile by cutting back on or eliminating smoking, drinking coffee, and drinking tea. And, should you notice that your teeth are less bright in one to five years, you can have a touch-up—often for less cost than the first, by reusing the whitening trays. Second treatments generally require less treatment time, as well.
