natural ways to whiten your teeth

Professional teeth whitening by Dr. Scarsellone is your best choice when you need immediate whitening results.

This procedure is called chairside bleaching and may require more than one office visit.

Each visit may take from 60 to 90 minutes.

During chairside bleaching, Dr. Scarsellone will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber shield to protect the oral soft tissues.

A bleaching agent is then applied to the teeth and a special light may be used to enhance the action of the agent.

There are several types of products available for use at home, which can either be dispensed by Dr. Scarsellone or purchased over the counter.

They are generally teeth whitening trays (mouthguards), strips, or paint-on products. These products contain peroxide(s) which actually bleach the tooth enamel.
