How can I make my smile brighter?

We offer in-office teeth whitening and custom-made take-home trays with professional whitening gel. The in-office system produces almost instant results, so many patients prefer the convenience of this option. Home whitening yields excellent results, as well – up to eight shades or better! Two weeks of use produces optimal results, but if your teeth reach the desired shade before then, simply discontinue treatment. We often recommend touching up an in-office treatment with a take-home kit, as needed. For more information, email Dr. Bis.
