Causes of Discolored Teeth
In about one hour, an in office whitening treatment can whiten and brighten your smile. Dr. Silverman always recommends that you begin your treatment with a clean and healthy smile
for the best possible results.
The process begins with choosing the appropriate shade for an aesthetically pleasing result. The Opalescence professional bleaching gel is applied to the surface of your teeth and you can relax as it gently penetrates the enamel layer for a result that addresses the source of your tooth discoloration.
You will leave after an hour with a bright, white smile.
