Teeth Whitening

You want a dazzling smile!  If stains are making your smile dull, Dr. Galvan can brighten it back up again. The professional whitening treatments available at Galvan Dental Care can whiten your teeth many shades whiter and in much less time than in-home whitening kits. The in-home treatments can take days or even weeks, and the results are less than satisfying.  

The disappointing results of the over-the-counter treatments are due to the strength of the whitening agent. Hydrogen peroxide is the activating agent in all whitening agents, but store-bought kits do not contain enough hydrogen peroxide to provide the level of whitening needed.   

The strength of a professional whitening gel is not available from a store, because it requires professional supervision to avoid damage to tooth enamel. The weaker store-bought kits and whitening toothpaste cannot be left on the teeth long enough to make any considerable color change. If a whitening toothpaste says it does not contain hydrogen peroxide, then it only contains chemicals and polishing agents to scrub stains from the enamel. The best whitening result you could obtain from polishing is approximately one shade lighter, and this is not the preferred result for patients.  

Call Dr. Galvan to get your teeth up to 10 shades whiter in a shorter amount of time.
