Teeth whitening may be necessary as your teeth become stained over time. Certain foods, drinks, smoking, medications, and dental trauma can cause your teeth to become dull and yellowed. When this occurs, you may lose confidence in your smile. Our expert team at Coastal Smiles Dental Care will get you the bright white smile you desire. We do professional teeth whitening chair side and offer take home kits as well.

Professional teeth whitening involves hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide releases oxygen ions that enter the enamel of your teeth and break down the staining. This treatment is often less than one hour and you will notice the results immediately.

Our team at Coastal Smiles Dental Care will take an impression of your mouth to make a tray that will fit snuggly onto your teeth. The teeth whitening gel is put into  the tray and the tray is worn for a specified amount of time. The amount of time depends on the strength of the gel and extent of the staining.

Whitening products contain higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. This is a reason why whitening at our office is much more effective than over-the-counter products.
