Teeth Whitening
Professonal Teeth Whitening Brookhaven, GA.
Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “bleaching” procedure.
What are the details of teeth whitening?
It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile. In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.
How is teeth whitening done?
An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or porcelain veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations for Teeth Whitening
Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.

Why Should You Choose Professional Whitening?
There are many over the counter whitening systems, from toothpaste, mouthwash, and whitening strips. However, they will not produce the desired whitening that you may be looking for, in most to all cases. The reasons for this is because of the following:
- There is no dentist there to make sure that you’re a candidate for whitening
- There is no dentist there to make sure that you are using the proper product or using the product correctly in general. A dentist is able to tweak the dosage if necessary to get better results.
- Overuse of a product can cause damage to your teeth
- Over the counter, products may not be the right size for your smile so there is a possibility that some teeth won’t become as white as others.
