Whitening

There is no one-visit 'fast' bleaching technique today that makes teeth the very whitest they can be. The Deep Bleaching is regarded as the most effective teeth whitening technique known today; better than plasma arc lights (Zoom, BriteSmile, Rembrandt) and even better than laser whitening. Deep Bleaching gets teeth significantly whiter than ever before possible. Patients who previously were unable to bleach as white as they would have liked (because of 'beaching resistat teeth' or sensitivity) can now bleach significantly whiter. Deep Bleaching™ is the only recognized whitening technique that is so effective that it will even whiten tetracycline-stained teeth in a short time.

The difference with Deep Bleaching™ is the results. Follow Dr. DeFinnis' Deep Bleaching™ guidelines, and your teeth will whiten beyond any other bleaching technique. Deep Bleaching requires two appointments following the consultation. The first session starts with a bleaching in our office. This will condition you teeth to absorb oxygen more readily from the bleaching get in you at-home bleaching trays. Don't expect a tremendous color change from this first 'conditioning' visit. Immediately following the 'conditioning' visit, at-home trays are worn for 14 consecutive nights. After the 14th night of at-home bleaching, the final Deep Bleaching will be performed in our office, and will provide significant additional whitening over what will have already been accomplished The result will surprise you.

A. No, natural teeth rarely look too white. Sometimes very white crowns can look artificial because they are made of porcelain.
