In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you would like to reveal your results as quickly as possible, and if you have a little more to spend on teeth whitening, an in-office treatment may be the best option for you. We use the Venus whitening treatment. This option works in just about an hour (with three or four 15-minute applications). And because it’s activated by hydrogen peroxide, there is no uncomfortable light for you to sit under while it whitens. 

Venus teeth whitening can remove even the toughest stains. The formula also contains potassium nitrate to protect your tooth enamel and prevent the sensitivity that is often associated with professional teeth whitening. Brushing with an anti-sensitivity toothpaste in the weeks leading up to your treatment can help, too.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

People who wish to reveal their results gradually or who do not want to spend as much on teeth whitening may prefer an at-home treatment. Our office prefers the Venus whitening gel, which does the best job at breaking through stains above and below the surface of the tooth.

We will create plastic trays for your unique dentition. These trays should fit perfectly, so you won’t have to worry about saliva mixing with and weakening the strength of the gel. Your soft oral tissues are also protected from the powerful solution with trays that fit correctly.

You will be instructed to wear the trays filled with the whitening solution every evening for about 20-30 minutes. After two weeks, the treatment is complete -- and you are smiling brighter than ever! The results from at-home teeth whitening can last for months or even years.
