A Sometimes it's hard to get a clear picture of what's going on in your mouth just from the dentist's descriptions. Ever wished you could see the problem for yourself? An intra-oral camera shows you exactly what we've found on your teeth and gums through high-resolution images on a conveniently placed monitor. Whenever we need to talk about worrisome symptoms or the type of treatment you might need, we can show you exactly what we're talking about so that you can make well-informed oral healthcare decisions.

A Teeth whitening machines are indeed effective in brightening teeth and can produce noticeable results. They work by using a combination of a whitening gel that contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide and LED (light-emitting diode) technology to accelerate the whitening process.

A Did you know that you could have your smile brightened about 5-10 shades in as little as 20 minutes? Not only that, but professional teeth whitening procedures are also needle-free and don’t require the use of a dental drill. Instead, the process is as simple as placing the whitening agent, applying an LED light, and letting it sit. Sound too good to be true? Well, this is one rare instance where that is not the case. Modern technology has actually made it possible to have a whiter and brighter smile quickly and easily. And, yes, the light does indeed play a role in the accelerated whitening process. However, simply smiling at an LED light will not whiten your teeth. To understand how LED lights play a role in the whitening process, you must first understand the basics of how teeth whitening works.
