Preventive Teeth Whitening in Denver, PA
Teeth whitening removes stains caused by food, drinks, and daily habits, revealing a brighter, more confident smile. Many people opt for over-the-counter products to whiten their teeth at home, often due to budget constraints or insurance coverage. However, this practice is strongly discouraged, as teeth whitening is a delicate procedure that should be performed by a professional.
One of the main advantages of professional teeth whitening is its ability to deliver more dramatic and longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter options. The professional-grade bleaching agents used in dental offices are stronger and more effective, enabling them to penetrate deep into the tooth enamel and eliminate stubborn stains that may have accumulated over the years. Our treatments utilize a safe hydrogen peroxide gel, which can be activated in-office or provided as a take-home kit. The process is quick, easy, and safe.
01.
Process of Teeth Whitening
- During the procedure, a tooth whitening gel containing 20-45% hydrogen peroxide is applied.
- A special heating lamp is directed at the teeth in 20-minute intervals, with the gel being reapplied every 20 minutes. Your dentist may also use a laser to enhance the whitening effect.
- To protect your lips, tongue, and gums from the gel, a protective barrier is applied, ensuring that the gel only contacts your teeth.
- For optimal results, your dentist will provide custom whitening trays for follow-up treatments at home, ensuring effective application of the bleaching solution.

Dental Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are a durable, custom-fit solution for restoring teeth with moderate decay or damage. If a standard filling isn’t enough, but a crown isn’t yet necessary, this treatment is the ideal middle ground. Inlays fit within the grooves of your tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps. Both options strengthen the tooth, prevent further damage, and blend naturally with your smile.
