This is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to change your smile. Don't waste your time on store bought or mail order products—they don't work. For those who would like to have whiter teeth, we have several options.

1) ZOOM (as seen on ABC's Extreme Makeover) This is our in-office treatment and it will get your teeth their absolute whitest in the shortest amount of time. It usually takes about 1-1 1/2 hours in the office. For best long-term results we recommend you have custom trays made to follow up with at home.

2) CUSTOM TRAYS We take dental impressions of your teeth and make custom fitting trays. You apply whitening gel to the trays at your own rate and can continue to whiten until you reach the desired whiteness. We recommend wearing the trays just 1-2 hours a day. Most of the potency of the gel is used up in the first hour and leaving them in longer will just increase the sensitivity. We have both NITE-WHITE and OPALESENCE at varying percents of concentration. If tooth sensitivity is a problem, prescription fluoride can really help.

3) WHITENING STRIPS This treatment is a lot easier as no impressions are required. You just peel the strip off and place it across the front teeth. The strips are packaged in a 10-pack. There are a couple of different flavors to choose from. We use TRES WHITE from Ultradent.
