Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening, or tooth bleaching, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure designed to remove stains and discoloration, as well as lighten pigmentation within the teeth. Discoloration can be the result of genetics, accidents, medication, poor oral hygiene, aging, smoking, certain foods or a combination of these factors. Stains can be either on the surface of the teeth or within the tooth structure. Dr. Patel can change all this and give you a "Hollywood" smile within one hour.

We are proud to offer one the finest and most trusted "Rembrandt one hour smile whitening program" at our office.

Our office is equipped with a special Plasma Arc Light that accelerates the Whitening process significantly, the whitening time is 20-30 minutes and you will be walking out of our office with a bright smile in 1 hour.

Teeth that are discolored from tetracycline or excessive fluoride are not good candidates for bleaching. Whitening techniques can work for tetracycline staining only if the discoloration is mild. If there are banded or layered types of staining, the best that can be expected is simply an overall lightening of the bands of color. Veneers are the best solution for these cases. Once you reach our office, Dr. Patel will let you know what the best solution for you is.
