Teeth Whitening
Bleaching
Your dentist can whiten teeth dramatically using
various forms of hydrogen peroxide. One form, carbamide
peroxide, is most often used in the form of a gel, and
placed into a special tray that is custom-fitted to your
teeth. The tray is worn in the mouth ranging from a half
to one full hour per treatment. When in contact with the
teeth, the carbamide peroxide releases oxygen that
releases the stain on your teeth. This process is safe
and effective with only a few temporary side effects.
This treatment can be applied at home under periodic
supervision by your dentist. Ask your Dr. Earl or Dr.
Gary to evaluate your smile and decide which treatment
is best for you!
