Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening makes your smile sparkle! And it can be yours!

Teeth can become dark due to various factors:

• The effects of aging
• Certain foods and drinks, such as coffee & wine, stain teeth
• Smoking
• Medications

Temporary Whitening

Whitening (Bleaching) can be accomplished through two different means:

• In-office whitening (at Dr. Macias's office). A powerful whitening gel is placed in contact with the teeth under a special light for about an hour.
• At home (Dentist Supervised). The patient wears a custom-fitted mouth tray containing a whitening gel for a few hours each day or night over the course of a few weeks.

Whitening results through these procedures are temporary and vary for each individual. Regular touch-ups are required to maintain the teeth at their brighter color shade.

Permanent Whitening

The best way to have permanent white teeth is with Porcelain Veneers.

• Veneers are thin, custom-made pieces of porcelain that cover the front of an unsightly tooth.
• With this method, you can have bright, beautiful white teeth, no matter how dark or yellow your teeth are now.
