With teeth whitening, Dr. Olson can help you remove stains from your teeth and brighten your smile. We understand that a beautiful smile can lead to a strong first impression and increased confidence. Getting a smile makeover doesn’t mean you have to spend tons of time and money on your teeth. Teeth whitening is a simple, effective cosmetic dental treatment that we offer to noticeably enhance your smile. Our professional teeth whitening treatments utilize a powerful yet safe whitening gel that is applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel works to lighten the appearance of stains, discoloration, and yellowing on the tooth enamel. Our office offers a take-home system that gives you optimal results with minimal time commitment. Professional teeth whitening can give you a noticeably whiter smile that will boost your self-esteem and help you smile with pride.

If you have ever wished that your smile were whiter and brighter, teeth whitening might be right for you. Through professional teeth whitening, we can lighten staining and discoloration caused by various factors, such as:

• The natural aging process
• Poor dental hygiene habits
• Consumption of certain drinks and foods, including tea, wine, coffee, and soda
• Smoking and other forms of tobacco use
• Illness
• Certain medications
• Fluorosis

We offer 2 different whitening two options for our patients- custom trays and prefabricated trays. Both options will give great results. Custom trays are custom to your teeth and do require impressions. These trays are used at home with prescription strength whitening gel. You simply place a small amount of whitening gel in the trays and wear them for as little as 30 minutes a day, whenever is most convenient for you. Custom trays can be reused for touch up treatments for years.

The prefabricated trays are disposable, once time use. No impressions are needed for this option. You simply place the tray on your teeth and wear for the recommended time. The whitening gel is prefilled into the tray.

Professional Vs. Over the Counter Options

Why consider professional teeth whitening when there are so many options at your local store? There are plenty of reason why we think professional is the way to go! Professional teeth whitening uses stronger bleaching agents then the over the counter options. This will mean better results with less use! The strips you get at the store are not custom fit to your teeth. One size fits all, doesn’t always work so well. They will likely not cover as many teeth or get those hard to reach areas where your teeth touch. Another benefit is your treatment will be supervised by our team to ensure the safety and health of your gums.
