PROCEDURE
Effective Solutions for a Whiter Smile
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to remove stains and enhance the brightness of your smile. There are two primary whitening methods: Chairside Bleaching, performed in the dental office, and In-Home Bleaching, a custom system for at-home use.
Chairside Bleaching is a one-hour treatment where a whitening agent is applied to the teeth and activated by a special light. To protect the gums and lips, a gel-like barrier and rubber shield are used. A take-home touch-up kit is included to maintain results throughout the year.
For those who prefer an at-home option, In-Home Bleaching involves custom-fitted trays filled with a whitening solution. Worn for a set time each day or overnight, this treatment gradually whitens teeth over two weeks. Dr. Green oversees both methods to ensure safe and effective results tailored to each patient’s needs.
