Teeth Whitening in Raleigh, NC

Tooth discoloration can lessen a person’s confidence just as much as a missing tooth. It can be a result of drinking too much coffee, tea, soda, or red wine; or excessive smoking. Whatever the case may be, there is a cosmetic procedure that can help bring back the whiteness of your teeth, and it’s called teeth whitening treatment.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening lightens any discoloration of the enamel and dentin, the two top layers of a tooth. 

There are several teeth whitening treatments available to help whiten your teeth. Some require an in-office procedure while others give you whitening trays to take home. However, they all need an initial consultation with your dentist before it happens.

How Teeth Whitening Treatment Works

Opalescence whitening gels contain a powerful whitening ingredient—either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide; each are bleaching agents that brighten teeth quickly and effectively. Six Forks Family Dentistry offers Custom Trays to use with Opalescence teeth whitening gels, a Ready to Wear option or a Chairside option in Raleigh NC.
