Would you like whiter teeth? A recent study showed that 80% of Americans aged 18 to 49 would love to have a brighter smile, and professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures available. A brighter smile will make you look younger and may dramatically improve your self-esteem.

Dr. Curtis and our team offer two teeth-whitening systems: in-office whitening and take-home bleaching. Both are safe, gentle, and effective against stains and discolorations caused by food, beverages, tobacco, medications, and aging. Dr. Curtis will examine your smile to determine the teeth whitening method that’s right for you.

Take-Home Whitening
You can choose to whiten your teeth at home in as little as 30 minutes per day. Custom whitening trays and safe, professional-strength gels are easier and far more effective than weak solutions and strips you might buy at the store. And they fit comfortably and snugly against your teeth. Simply place the professional whitening solution in the trays, apply them for the prescribed time, and watch your smile brighten. Many patients see results after a few applications, but it’s best to figure 10 days to two weeks. You can skip days between treatments without compromising results. (more…)
