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!

Easy and Convenient
Bleaching is done at home at the patient's convenience.  An impression is made of your teeth, and a custom fitted tray is fabricated to fit your teeth.  A bleaching gel is prescribed and used as directed for 2 weeks, after which the patient must return to be checked.  The trays are then kept by the patient, so that they can be reused again in the future.

Bleaching Instructions
1.  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.

Insurance and Fees
Bleaching is not covered by dental insurance.  The fee for the bleaching procedure is $375.00, and is due at the time of the initial appointment for the bleaching treatment.  Bleaching refill kits are available for $25.00.
