Tooth Whitening
Which whitening method is best for you?
More people than ever are choosing to
whiten their smile. With so many products on the market, many of our
patients ask what we recommend. Dr. Doray is happy to be able to offer
our patients several whitening options depending on their individual
situation.
Deep Bleaching
Dr. Doray is now
excited to offer
Deep Bleaching to her
patients interested in getting the most dramatic results possible.
Deep Bleaching uses
a combination of 2-3 in-office treatments with take-home treatments.
Unlike other whitening techniques
Deep Bleaching
offers significant lightening even for patients with very dark teeth or
tetracycline staining. Deep
Bleaching can actually whiten teeth to a level
previously unattainable. Because your teeth will get considerably whiter
with
Deep Bleaching,
the effect will also last much longer than more conventional
teeth-whitening methods.
Deep Bleaching
works by restoring your teeth's ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen
from the
Deep Bleaching
gel is absorbed deeply into the tooth, dissolving stain molecules.
 
 
Laser
Whitening
The fastest most convenient
whitening method, this in-office whitening treatment is comfortable and
generally completed in about one hour.
Dr. Doray uses the LaserSmile, the
only diode laser approved for tooth whitening. This advanced whitening
technology is based on Target Chromophore In-phase
Accelerated-activation (TCIA).
Our in-office procedure is
comfortable and generally completed in about an hour. First we place a
protective coating on your gum tissue; then we apply the TCIA gel that
is specially formulated to accelerate whitening on exposure to our
specific laser wavelength. The gel is laser activated for 24 minutes,
and the whitening procedure is complete. You are able to show off your
new whiter smile immediately!

teeth
and his chipped front tooth. After laser whitening
treatment and some minor cosmetic bonding on the chipped tooth,
his smile now looks
healthy and vibrant.” |
Take-home
Whitening
More effective than drug-store
whitening options and less expensive than in-office whitening
procedures, take-home whitening is a great choice for the more budget
conscious patient.
This safe and simple treatment is a
great way to help you restore your gleaming smile. Take-home trays are
a convenient way to achieve a brighter smile over time, or to touch up a
after a previous whitening treatment.
First we take impressions of your
teeth to craft your custom whitening trays — one for your upper teeth
and one for your lower teeth. After making sure your bleaching trays
fit properly, we'll show you how to apply the hydrogen peroxide
tooth-whitening gel and discuss the amount of time your bleaching trays
should be worn each day to achieve your desired results.
