Most over-the-counter whitening treatments are not ADA-approved and can damage your teeth or gums.
Dr. Barton will examine your teeth to determine if teeth whitening is the best option for you. You must be in good oral health before proceeding.
If you are receiving take-home trays, these will be created using our intraoral scanner. They will be created in-house by the team you know and trust! You will pick these up when they are ready within a few weeks.
Because we apply the whitening gel directly to your teeth during an in-office treatment, we keep your mouth open with a cheek retractor and apply a protective gel to your gums so the whitening agent doesn’t come into contact with your soft tissue.
Once you receive your whitening trays and gel, you will follow the written instructions on how to apply the gel to your trays and wear them for the specified amount of time.
This is a 90 minute appointment that takes place in the dental chair. We recommend this for fast results or special events like weddings or where formal photos are going to be taken. This treatment can produce drastic results, lightening your teeth by up to 10 shades.
For severe staining, you could need multiple sessions. The whitening gel is applied directly to your teeth and rinsed out. We take precautions to protect the soft tissue in your mouth. You may experience tooth sensitivity following the procedure, which will subside within 48 hours.
Don’t want to make the trip to the dentist's office? Try take-home whitening! We just need you to come in for a very quick appointment to take a scan of your teeth. Once they’re ready, you can pick them up and begin whitening your teeth from home.
You will receive custom-made trays that fit over your teeth and form a protective seal. This prevents the whitening gel from irritating or damaging your gums. Along with your trays, you will receive the whitening agent which is applied to the inside of your trays.
Then, you pop them in your mouth for the specified amount of time. This treatment produces equally effective, but gradual results compared to in-office whitening. You can expect to wear your trays each day for 1-2 weeks.
Drugstore whitening trays can irritate your gums because they are one-size-fits-all and the whitening gel can come into contact with your gums.
