If you've been a coffee drinker, a tea drinker or a smoker for years, you know the pain of looking in the mirror and seeing stained, discolored teeth when you smile. In most cases, you can get rid of those stains and get your beautiful shiny white teeth back. It's not painful, and it's really not expensive.
We offer two whitening treatments. The first is done entirely in our office and takes about an hour. Come in with dingy teeth — leave with pearly whites.
The second procedure is a home treatment. We create trays that fit over your upper and lower teeth, much like a mouthpiece used in sports. Just before you go to bed, you put a few drops of whitening solution in each tray, and insert the trays into your mouth.
Within a few days, you will see your teeth begin to grow whiter and whiter. Continue the treatment, until your smile is back to where it should be.
The two photos on this page show the dramatic improvement a Westwood Dental Center patient enjoyed after less than two weeks using the home whitening treatement. For reference, note the one tooth in the top photo that is noticeably whiter than the others. That tooth is actually a crown, made from material that resists staining. In the photo below, the crown is still the same as before, but the surrounding teeth are much whiter. In fact, the crown is now slightly darker and more yellow than the other teeth.
