Whitening is perhaps, the most requested procedure within the field of cosmetic dentistry. Many individuals desire a whiter, brighter smile.
Aside from the natural process of aging, a number of other factors can contribute to the staining and discoloring of teeth, including tobacco use, consumption of certain types of foods and drinks, and the use of specific antibiotics.
Prior to any whitening procedure, whether done at home, or in the dental office, a thorough examination by a dentist should be done.
A number of kits have been developed as “Do-It-Yourself,” where you can apply a specific bleaching product at home, usually in the form of a bleaching pen, strips, or generic trays that fit on the bottom and upper teeth. These kits are usually low concentration, and are not very effective.

Whitening teeth is a rewarding process when done right, however, many people are unaware that simple kits purchased in pharmacies or other providers will not whiten previous dental work. In our office, Dr. Kamel will ensure that you achieve a uniform, brilliant smile, and will offer you solutions to achieve that white smile, even if you have previous dental work.
Teeth whitening, done within the dental office, is far more effective, and safe. Dr. Kamel will identify the whitening system that is best for your situation, determining the exact concentration, and length of treatment required to achieve the white smile that you have always wanted. At times, this may include custom trays or solutions that are administered in the office, and continued at home.
