Your face has 15 muscles that work together to make a
smile. Like some people, though, you may avoid using these
muscles because you are embarrassed by your discolored
teeth. A simple procedure called bleaching may whiten
your teeth and allow the real you to shine through!
Keep your teeth white and you can smile with confidence!

Bleach at Home--Easy and Convenient
Bleaching can be done at home at your convenience. A custom fitted tray is fabricated to fit your top and/or bottom teeth. A bleaching gel is prescribed and used as directed for up to 2 weeks, after which we ask that you return to be checked. The trays are then kept by you so that they can be reused again in the future should "touch up" be necessary.

1. Bleaching Instructions
   Bleaching should be done at home for ONE HOUR PER DAY, while you are doing a quiet activity - not during any strenuous activity such as jogging.
2. DO NOT bleach your teeth while you are asleep.
3. FIRST, brush and floss your teeth - your teeth need to be cleaned in order for the bleaching gel to work.
4. SECOND, fill the upper and lower trays with the gel (use only a sesame seed-sized drop of gel for each tooth) and place the trays in your mouth. DO NOT OVER FILL!
5. THIRD, check the trays in your bathroom mirror to be sure the tray is not overfilled with gel. If the gel overflows onto your gums, wipe it off with your fingers or a toothbrush.
6. FOURTH, remove the trays after 1 hour and brush your teeth and the trays. Please store the trays in the case provided.
   

Insurance and Fees
Bleaching is not covered by dental insurance. The fee for the bleaching procedure varies with the methods and materials needed for your treatment and is due at the time of the initial appointment for the bleaching treatment. Bleaching refill kits are available for use with your custom bleaching trays.
