Many people are interested in making their teeth whiter. There are many bleaching agents on the market, but they are not as concentrated as the ones you get in a dental office and they can be messy, touching the gums. You certainly don’t want to bleach the gums because they can be damaged by the bleaching agent.
Most fillings don’t change color after bleaching, so you would want to hold off doing new fillings that show, until after the bleaching. If you have a front crown that currently matches the other natural teeth you should redo that crown afterwards or not do the bleaching.
Bleaching should only be done after a hygiene appointment to make sure hard deposits are not on the teeth. Our procedure for bleaching involves making impressions of your upper and lower teeth. From the impressions the dental lab will fabricate custom fitting trays. We will provide you the bleaching agent syringes that go along with the trays. Not everyone is a candidate for bleaching, but we can analyze this in the initial consultation.
