What Makes Professional Treatment Different than Over-the-Counter Options?
You have likely noticed the numerous dental products available at the pharmacy and grocery store, many of which promise to lighten your teeth. Unfortunately, it can be overwhelming for many consumers trying to determine which of these products will actually be able to help them achieve their desired results, and more importantly which can do so safely and efficiently.

In some cases, this can actually cause damage to the teeth’s enamel, as prolonged exposure to whitening agents can lead to wear of the teeth’s enamel.

This is a procedure that can quickly lighten teeth by a noticeable eight shades or more! Best of all, the whitening can be completed safely, and with minimal sensitivity to your soft gum tissue.
