Take-home whitening
In-office whitening
If you’re self-conscious about your smile because your teeth have been stained by tobacco use, drinking coffee and tea, or just natural aging and wear & tear, teeth whitening is right for you. Choosing teeth whitening at Oakbrook Dental has a variety of great benefits.
With teeth whitening from Oakbrook Dental, you won’t have to feel self-conscious about your smile or your teeth ever again. You can reverse years of stains, discoloration, and yellowing in as little as one appointment with Dr. Patel or Dr. Major.
Teeth whitening is relatively inexpensive compared to other cosmetic treatments like veneers, but it can still completely transform your smile, making it a great option if you want to get cosmetic dental treatment on a budget.
Teeth whitening doesn’t involve any kind of drilling needles, or surgery of any kind. It’s totally non-invasive and will not cause you any pain or discomfort. For that reason, it’s a great option for patients who are just beginning to explore the possibilities of cosmetic dentistry, or for people who may have dental anxiety.
In-office teeth whitening is done by Dr. Patel or Dr. Major at our office in West Bend, and offers fast results that can completely transform your smile in just one appointment. This makes it great for anyone who wants fast results for a special occasion like a wedding, a photo shoot, or a business conference.
The process is simple. Dr. Patel or Dr. Major will clean your mouth, then apply a special compound to your gums to protect them from the whitener. Your cheeks and lips will also be retracted away from your teeth. Then, they will apply a powerful whitener to your teeth and activate it with a UV light.
After a few minutes, you’ll rinse away the whitener. Then, Dr. Major or Dr. Patel will check your results, and the process may be repeated several times until you reach your desired level of tooth brightness. Then, you’ll be sent home to enjoy your picture-perfect new smile.
Take-home teeth whitening is an excellent choice for patients who may wish to avoid spending too much time in the dentist’s chair. In this method of whitening, you’ll use a set of custom whitening trays and professional-grade whitening products from Dr. Patel and Dr. Major to whiten your teeth.
To get started, you’ll come into our office, and you’ll be fitted for a set of custom, reusable whitening trays. These will be built by a dental lab, and sent to our office in a few weeks. Then, you’ll come to pick up your trays and whitening products.
After that, you’ll just follow the instructions provided to you by Dr. Major or Dr. Patel to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home using your trays and whitening products. Typically, the treatment will take about 2-3 weeks.
