WHITENING IS THE HALLMARK OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY BECAUSE IT QUICKLY MAKES ALMOST EVERYONE'S SMILE LOOK BETTER....
Whitening is a conservative, predictable process of removing age-related discoloration and environmental darkening from teeth. Whitening is often incorporated into a treatment plan along with other cosmetic procedures. Whitening can also be a great gift idea since it's recommended for people of all ages- teens to senior citizens!
Whitening usually lasts several years before needing to be touched up, depending on habits such as smoking and drinking coffee, tea, soda, and/or red wine. At Smile Design Center we are whitening experts. Dr. Edwards has followed the field closely in his 28 years of practicing dentistry, and is aware of the latest, greatest techniques and products to achieve the best, most predictable and quickest results for the patient.
In a few cases, whitening may not be as effective in naturally occurring, dark stained teeth - like tetracycline stains- or on brown and white spots in teeth called Fluorosis. Even in extreme cases, whitening is typically utilized in these situations before advancing to additional cosmetic procedures.
At Smile Design Center we have a few different whitening options available to our patients. We offer a do-it-yourself; take home kit with custom whitening trays. For a faster result, we offer Zoom!®, an in-office whitener where the patient only has to come for one visit. With Zoom!®, which is best known for its use in the ABC Network program Extreme Makeover, the patient also receives custom whitening trays to maintain his or her radiant smile.
