Diet, cigarettes, coffee and tea all leave stains that
penetrate the tooth surface, creating an older, tired smile. Teeth
also darken naturally with age.
In-Office Whitening
This is the fastest and most effective way to whiten teeth in
the dental chair. In most cases it takes just over an hour to
perform. Fees range from $900 to $1200 and produce excellent
results with less sensitivity than take home systems.
A whitening gel (hydrogen peroxide) is applied to the teeth,
after gums are covered by a protective barrier material. The gel is
then activated using cool blue LED light. The resulting
photochemical reaction lifts stains from within the tooth.
Zoom and BriteSmile are the two in-office treatments offered at
City Dental at Quay Park.
Take Home Tray Whitening
This is a popular and effective way to whiten teeth. A dentist
makes some thin clear trays from molds of your teeth. They fit
snugly in place and are worn at night in your sleep. A gel is
applied inside the tray and, over a period of 10-14 days, the teeth
will whiten several shades. It ranges in price from $450 to $650
and involves 2 visits to the dentist.
Staying White and Bright
Home maintenance is an important part of any whitening
treatment. Whitening does fade over time, and teeth will darken
faster with a diet heavy in coffee, tea, red wine and
cigarettes.
