Teeth Whitening

Do you love how your teeth look when you part your lips? If you aren’t exactly ecstatic with the look of your smile, you should know you are not alone. Most people are self-conscious about their smile due to stained, discolored or darkened teeth. Lohring Miller DMD in Eugene, Oregon is here to help beautify your teeth with teeth whitening. Instead of attempting to whiten your teeth on your own at home with DIY kits, let our dentist do the work the right way for you. We protect the gums, tongue and other parts of the mouth to prevent the teeth whitening solution from causing damage.

Alternatively, if you were to attempt to whiten your teeth on your own at home, you would run the risk of the bleaching agent moving to other parts of your mouth. Let our dentist do the work and you will rest easy knowing it is done safely and in a timely manner. Our dentist will even document your teeth shade prior to the whitening process so you can see the before-and-after difference.

The teeth are polished with pumice, rinsed and subsequently suctioned. Cheek retractors are also used to ensure the cheeks and lips are not exposed to the whitening solution. The dentist dries the teeth and adds a whitening gel to the front of the teeth that can be seen when smiling. This is accomplished using a diminutive brush. The whitening gel is activated to whiten your teeth to your chosen shade. All in all, teeth whitening typically takes between 45 minutes and an hour and a half.
