Our brilliant doctors and skilled, intelligent team of practitioners offer a magnificent teeth whitening treatment. When you walk into our office, we will talk with you and listen to your personal goals, what kind of look you want for your teeth, and then walk you through our procedures. We are passionate about helping our patients meet their goals, and we love to see our guests walk out of our building with giant smiles stretched across their faces.

Wonderful Treatment

We offer both in-house and take-home whitening treatments. For our office treatment, we will bring you in, have you sit in one of our comfortable chairs, and apply Zoom! whitening. This high-peroxide gel will rest on your teeth for about an hour, and we will use a special low-heat light to activate the chemicals and speed up the process.

If you are unable to stay in the office for an appointment, we can provide a take-home kit. The kits are simple and easy to use. You will apply a gel on a set of dental trays and insert them around your teeth. Our dentists will tell you how long to leave the trays in your mouth, how many times to conduct this process, etc.

Not all electric brushes are created equal.

How many times have you walked into the toothpaste and toothbrush isle at Target or Walmart and just stared at the wall of endless options? It can be so overwhelming as you try to make the best decision. Many of our patients ask about purchasing an electric brush because they have heard great things about them. While an electric brush MAY greatly increase your quality of oral hygiene, not all brushes are created equal. And while each persons needs are individualized, there is one brush we stand behind at our office. We gladly promote the use of the Sonicare electric brush and even sell them at our office for a great price!

Why Sonicare you may ask? Well, it is proven to remove as much as 5 to 7X the amount of plaque that a manual brush removes. It is extremely gentle on your gums and root surfaces that often show in areas of recession. It can aid in keeping stain away if you are prone to getting it, and it also has a 2 minute timer to help you complete the recommended amount of brushing time (no cheating!). It has a rechargeable battery and removable brush heads. This means that multiple family members can use the same unit. Just be sure to change the brush head for each person. They have handy color coated rings so you can tell which is yours.

Ask your Dental Hygienist for brush recommendations at your next visit to see if a Sonicare may be a good brush for you. And if you do purchase one, just remember that brush heads wear out and collect bacteria. They should be replaced about every 3 months.
