• Shine a Little Brighter on Your Big Day

    Shine a Little Brighter on Your Big Day

    Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you.  On your wedding day (or any other special occasion for that matter) you’ll be showing off your smile from sun up to sun down!

    If you want your smile to shine a little brighter, you might consider an at-home whitening system.

    All it takes is a few minutes in our office to make impressions, or molds of your teeth.  We will then determine your starting shade and your desired ending shade.  Usually within 24 hours your custom bleach trays are available and ready to use.

    At-home bleach trays are convenient and can be worn at any time during the day.  You should wear your bleach trays for 1-2 hours each day for up to 14 days or until you reach your desired ending shade.

    All teeth will bleach, however some teeth bleach more than others (just like some peoples’ skin will tan more/less in the sun).  Once you have achieved the whiteness you desire, using the bleaching trays once every six months will maintain the color.  If you have habits that stain teeth quickly (drinking coffee/tea/red wine) you may wish to bleach once every 2-3 months to hold your shade.

    A small number of bleach users report sensitivity to cold while using the bleaching material.  If you are one, simply take a break.  You can lessen the amount of time you bleach each day or try bleaching every other day instead.  Keep in mind, it may take you longer to reach your desired shade.  The good news is the sensation is transient and will subside once you stop using the bleach.
