What to expect when you decide to whiten your teeth

When you visit Interstate Dental Clinic in Portland, Dr. Edward Ward will start by looking at your teeth and assessing the health of your gums. He will then decide the best solution in your unique case. Any other dental problems such as gum disease or cavities must be treated before he will be able to offer you a bleaching treatment.

If you opt for the in-office treatment then you should expect this to take between one and three hours, however the results will be instantly noticeable.

If you use the in-home methods then Dr. Ward will take molds of your teeth to create customized trays which hold the solution in your mouth.

Dr. Ward will also spend some time discussing how you should use these at-home methods of bleaching. It is important that you pay attention to these instructions.

Once the treatment has been completed Dr. Ward will then check the results.

All that's left is for you to smile and enjoy life to the full!
