Teeth Whitening


 
We have several options for tooth whitening, depending on your personal situation. We always require that teeth be cleaned of all tartar and plaque so we are not whitening the tartar, but rather the teeth. If you decide you would like to go beyond your normal day to day routine to make your smile look brighter, you should investigate your options for whitening teeth.

The two most common approaches to whiten your smile are in-office (chair-side) and at-home tooth whitening. The main advantage of having Dr. Blass supervise your teeth whitening procedure is that he can help determine if tooth whitening should be performed and if it will be effective for you. Patients with decayed teeth, infected gums, white spots on their teeth, and multiple tooth colored fillings or crowns (caps) on the front teeth may not be good candidates for tooth whitening.
