Want Whiter Teeth?
Would you like to erase years of stain and discolor from your teeth? Would you like to revitalize your smile, look younger and feel better? At Dentistry with TLC we are committed to offering you the very best whitening systems. Most dentists only offer one whitening system. We offer four different systems to help you reach the results you desire. Let’s start with the best and work our way down.
- Lumineers – Lumineers are a permanent whitening solution. Lumineers are the best type of porcelain veneer. These very thin pieces of porcelain are cemented over the top of your existing teeth. They can be as white as you want and require no shots and no shaving down of your teeth. They are proven to last over 20 years and they do not age and change color like natural teeth. Best of all, Lumineers not only change the color of your teeth, they can also change the shape, size and alignment of your teeth. Once you have Lumineers you will never have to whiten again. Lumineers are the only way to guarantee achieving a specific whiteness.
- Deep Bleaching – No other whitening system can get your natural teeth whiter. This is the very best whitening system for changing the color of your natural teeth. At your first visit we will make plastic molds that fit over your teeth and hold bleaching agent close to your teeth. These are called bleaching trays. You will wear these trays while we activate the agent with a special light. This process takes about 2 hours in our office and causes absolutely no pain. You can watch a movie of your choice while you’re bleaching so you don’t get bored. Then you will take the trays home, place beaching agent in them and wear them each night for 2 weeks. After the 2 week period then you will have one more bleaching session in our office with the special light. The results from this system can be astounding.
- Zoom 2 – This whitening system has become very popular by makeover shows like Extreme Makeover. It was developed by Dr. Dorfman in Beverly Hills. It takes only a couple of hours in our office. You can watch a movie of your choice while we place bleaching agent on your teeth and shine a light on your teeth. Results vary with this system. Some patients have great results and some patients see very little results. If your teeth tend to be sensitive to cold drinks or foods it seems that Zoom 2 can aggravate that response. Many people with sensitive teeth report some discomfort after the procedure. If you are expecting dramatic results this is not the best system for your investment. If you want to brighten your smile and not spend much time on the process then Zoom 2 may be what you’re looking for.
- Whitening for Life – This is a program we offer to all of our patients. We want Dentistry with TLC patients to have bright, beautiful teeth forever. You represent us and we want you to look your best. Therefore, after you complete your recommended cleaning/gum treatments we will make you bleaching trays. When you come to each of your 6 month cleaning appointments we will give you a tube of bleaching gel absolutely free. You can get free bleaching gel for the rest of your life! This system was created to help patients keep their teeth from staining and looking old. It is not meant to give dramatic results. It is meant to work about as well if not better than anything you can buy at the drugstore to whiten your teeth.
