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!

“This young man was unhappy with both the yellow color of his
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.
