A white, bright smile can help create a youthful appearance. There are several whitening options available to help you achieve the whitest smile possible. Live Life Smiling Family Dentistry offers several options for whitening:

  • In-Office Whitening: If you are a candidate for whitening, your dentist may suggest a procedure that can be done in the office. This procedure is called chair-side or in-office whitening, and may be completed in as little as one visit. During an in-office whitening procedure, the dentist will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber shield to protect the oral soft tissues. A whitening agent is then applied to your teeth, and a special light may be used to enhance the action of the agent.
  • Custom Whitening Trays: Custom take-home whitening products typically come in a gel which is dispensed into a tray or mouth guard. These trays can be made by your dentist to fit your teeth precisely. Usage may vary depending on the product. Some products are used twice a day for approximately 2 weeks, and others are intended for overnight use for 1-2 weeks.
  • Opalescence Go Whitening: Opalescence Go is the professional alternative to over-the-counter whitening options. It’s a simple, fast and great-tasting way to start a whitening treatment or for whitening touch-ups. With prefilled, disposable trays, no impressions or custom trays are necessary. Opalescence Go is ready to use right out of the package!

​​We recommend that you consult with your dentist to determine which option is best for you. Your dentist may need to perform an exam to determine if your teeth are healthy enough for whitening.
