Your Smile Will Shine With Professional Results

You may have tried a whitening product you bought at the drugstore. But those products just don’t work as well as professional teeth whitening. Our office treatments using respected brand KoR:

  • Lighten teeth up to 16 shades or more
  • Won’t irritate your gums or teeth
  • Give you a bright smile that lasts
  • Allow you to sit back and relax while we work, watching TV or listening to music to make the time pass more quickly
  • Whiten deep and remove stubborn stains like those from tetracycline

Using our professional teeth whitening gel at home offers advantages, too:

  • You can whiten whenever you like.
  • You’ll get better results since it’s made with a higher concentration of active ingredients than drugstore products.
  • You won’t have any trouble completely covering your teeth because we’ll make custom whitening trays for you to use.
  • If you have any questions, we’re just a phone call away.

Some of our patients start with an office treatment and then maintain their bright smiles with regular home treatments.

Complement Your White Smile With Other Cosmetic Treatments

Once your smile is white, you may want to make other cosmetic improvements. You can straighten your smile with Six Month Smiles®, unobtrusive braces that require an average treatment time of just six months for adults. If your teeth are chipped, worn, or have other slight flaws, we can use dental veneers, tooth bonding, or tooth contouring to beautify them.

If you aren’t happy with your gums, we can fix those too! If you have a “gummy” smile, Dr. Fox can remove excess tissue to give you an attractive balance of teeth and gums. If your gums are receding, she can restore them with a Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique procedure.

Common Questions About Teeth Whitening

Can teeth whitening be permanent?

No, teeth whitening isn’t permanent. A whitening treatment typically keeps your teeth bright for anywhere from a few months to a year or so. This depends on the treatment, the condition of your teeth, and your lifestyle, among other factors. For instance, if you consume lots of foods and beverages that stain, your teeth won’t stay as white as someone who avoids those substances.

What teeth whitening treatment is best?

In order to stay stable on the shelf, products sold over the counter at drugstores have a lower concentration of active whitening ingredients like hydrogen peroxide. This means they simply aren’t as effective as professional-strength products. In addition, professional whitening is easier to use than many drugstore products, which often involve messy strips.

Will teeth whitening whiten fillings/crowns/veneers?

Teeth whitening does not work on crowns or on other dental restorations like veneers or fillings. To ensure your smile will look uniformly bright, we suggest whitening your teeth before you receive any restorations. We can then match the color so your restoration blends in with your other teeth.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Professional treatments that you get from a dentist are the safest. We only use products that we know provide great results without causing negative effects. Not only that, but our team is ready to help if you experience any issues. Only a few over-the-counter products have earned the ADA’s seal of approval.
