Ready to boost your sense of confidence with a teeth whitening treatment that will have you smiling again?
Teeth whitening can offer a quick and economical “smile makeover” that can transform your overall appearance, especially for patients with yellowing, stained or discolored teeth. As we age the teeth naturally darken, and certain lifestyle habits and medications can also lead to tooth staining and discoloration.
Gouverneur, NY cosmetic dentist Dr. Gardner offers his dental patients the options of in office professional teeth whitening, a take home kit or a combination of both for maximum results. Professional teeth whitening, including the customized take home “DIY” kit, offers results that are superior to over the counter kits that are widely available.
The in office treatment can be completed in our family dental office in approximately one hour, and patients can return immediately to their daily routine. Dr. Gardner uses Opalescence- high quality, professional grade products that are applied using custom fit bleaching trays for an even application that reduces gum irritation. Patients typically see results that are up to 8 shades lighter after treatment!
The take home kit includes the same professional quality products as well as a set of customized bleaching trays that are to be used for a specified period of time for excellent results that are a bit more gradual than an in office treatment. For maximum results, patients can receive an in office treatment and follow up at home with a take home kit.
Teeth whitening can last for up to a year with good oral hygiene, including regular preventive care cleanings and exams with Dr. Gardner. The occasional touch up treatment can also prolong your fresh, white smile. For optimal results it is also important to avoid tobacco use and the frequent consumption of dark foods and beverages- especially coffee and teas.
