Your teeth will darken over time. Changes in the color of your teeth can be caused by such factors as the food and beverages consumed (like coffee, tea and soda). Other known factors for discoloration may include childhood medications or illnesses, tobacco use or improper oral hygiene.
Sapphire Bleaching system is done in our office. During the first appointment, impressions are taken. Our lab will fabricate you a set of custom fitting bleaching trays. During the second appointment, we will deliver the custom bleaching trays and provide you instructions on using the Sapphire Bleaching system. After a couple of weeks, you will return for a final evaluation.

Whitening is very safe while under the supervision of a trained dentist. It is one of the safest procedures in cosmetic dentistry. However, we do not recommend this procedure for pregnant women or children under age 13.
You will be given some post-whitening care instructions after your procedure. It is important to maintain a good oral hygiene regimen post-whitening to preserve your bright, white smile. We also recommend occasional touch-ups. Your smile will always be brighter than it was before the procedure, but by following these simple instructions, you can retain your results for a long time!
