Many people are satisfied with the sparkle they get from brushing twice daily with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, cleaning between their teeth once a day, and the regular cleanings at your dentist's office. If you decide you would like to go beyond this to make your smile look brighter, you should investigate all of your options.
Dr. Janet Gonzalez offers in-office whitening and at-home whitening. In-office whitening involves an appointment in which, the teeth are isolated with a special material and a boosted concentration of whitening gel is applied through multiple applications. Patients leave with an immediate, brighter smile. For at-home whitening, special custom trays and a lower concentration of whitening gel is delivered to the patient for wearing at home. For those with cold-sensitive teeth, this is usually the better option, because the patient can gradually whiten, thus reducing sensitivity. Though there are many great products that can be purchased over-the-counter, the whitening products that Dr. Gonzalez delivers have a higher concentration of whitening agent, and will get you to a brighter smile with less time and less hassle.
