Don't end looking like Ross in Friends....

Do you remember the Friends episode that Ross got his teeth bleached and they were glowing in the dark? Nobody wants that! We were in the mall the other day and saw a kiosk for tooth whitening/bleaching. I'll buy alot of things at the mall; but dental care isn't one of them. I didn't really see anyone getting the service done;but I'm sure that some have. I don't know about you, but I'm not letting a non dental professional do a one hour bleach on my teeth!

Some things are best left to the professionals. There are limitations to bleaching and your dentist is aware of them. Bleaching doesn't work on crowns, bridges, and veneers. We offer in office and take home bleach options. We prefer the take home method because it offers the best and longer results. The in office method is good for events like weddings, proms, etc .

Some people complain of sensitivity while and after bleaching. This can be remedied by using fluoride rinse in the trays for a day or two instead of the bleach. If the sensitivity continues, there are other products that we can provide to help you enjoy your bleach system.

Here is a link to a company that we buy our bleach kits from. It has a lot of great info...
