Tooth Whitening Dentistry To Fix Discolored, Dark Or Stained Teeth
At Gunbarrel Dental Center
Tooth
bleaching involves the placement of a bleaching solution on the teeth to
eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a
custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth - much like a
mouthpiece worn by a professional boxer.
Bleaching is usually a safe, effective
and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.
Two bleaching methods are available at
Gunbarrel Dental Center: Power Bleaching, done at our office, and
At-Home-Bleaching, which provides for home use (not to be confused with
over-the-counter bleaching products available in local Boulder area drug
stores).
The difference between the two is the
strength of the whitening agent and the time it takes to get effective
results. Power bleaching takes one visit of one and a half hours, while
home bleaching may take up to four weeks of regular use.
Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by
cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are bleached,
Please don't hesitate to call Gunbarrel Dental Center at (303) 530-4145 with any questions you may
have about the benefits of tooth whitening or tooth bleaching for a
whiter smile.
