Smile Enhancement

Over time our teeth tend to become discolored or stained. Whether this is from smoking, coffee, or any other foods, a beautiful smile could be closer than you think. We offer a safe, inexpensive solution to an unsightly smile. Whitening your teeth is a very simple procedure that can be completed in relatively short period of time.

Whitening/Bleaching Procedure

The first step in the whitening process is impressions. We will take full impressions of your upper and lower teeth. These impressions will be made into custom bleaching trays. The trays will fit onto your teeth perfectly so there is a small possibility of gum damage from the bleaching solution.

The second step is to place the bleaching solution in the trays and wear them for a few hours a day. Within 7-10 days, you will see a significant improvement in the color of your teeth. Your smile will look brighter and younger. We will take before and after photos so that you will be able to compare the amazing transformation.

Bleaching only works on natural teeth and may not be effective in all cases. We will inform you as to the potential whitening for your specific situation.

ZOOM! Procedure

Our office offers the Zoom! chairside whitening procedure as seen on the television show Extreme Makeover. The procedure for Zoom! whitening is quick and painless. The first step is to isolate the teeth to protect your gums and lips. When this has been accomplished, the whitening gel is placed on each tooth. The gel is activated by a specially designed light that is directed at your teeth. The entire procedure takes just over an hour. The results are usually between 6 and 10 shades whiter.

Whitening your teeth may also be done gradually at home by wearing trays with bleaching solutions. Impressions will be taken of your upper and lower teeth. The impressions will be made into custom bleaching trays which will be worn for several hours a day to gradually whiten your teeth. The trays will fit over your teeth perfectly to avoid the possibility of damaging your gums from the bleaching solution.

Dr. Williams and his staff will demonstrate placing the bleaching solution in the trays and instruct you to wear the trays for a few hours a day. Within 7 to 10 days, you will see a significant improvement in the color of your teeth.
