Discolored, dark or stained teeth fixed with tooth whitening dentistry
 

Tooth bleaching involves the placement of a bleaching solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth - much like a mouthpiece worn by a professional boxer.

Bleaching is a safe, effective and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.

Two bleaching methods are available at Newton Dental Group: Power Bleaching with a high intensity light in office, or at home bleaching (not to be confused with over-the-counter bleaching products available in local Newton area drug stores).

The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent and the time it takes to get effective results.  Power bleaching usually takes one to two visits, while home bleaching may take up to two weeks of regular use.

Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are bleached.

Please don't hesitate to call Newton Dental Group at (617) 332-3100 with any questions you may have about the benefits of tooth whitening or tooth bleaching for a whiter smile.
