Welcome to Marion Smile Center. Our team is led by Dr. Mark Marion, who brings with him a wealth of expertise in the art of teeth whitening. Teeth whitening, a popular cosmetic dental procedure, is designed to enhance the natural color of teeth without removing any of the tooth’s surfaces. While it cannot deliver a complete color transformation, it will effectively lighten your existing shade. Over time, various factors such as consuming staining foods and beverages (like coffee, tea, and red wine), smoking, age, dental trauma, tartar build-up, and certain medications can cause tooth discoloration.
At Marion Smile Center, we offer a variety of professional teeth whitening methods to help you achieve your desired brighter smile. These services include:
Professional Bleaching
Laser Whitening
Internal Bleaching
Professional Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening procedure is designed to brighten and revitalize the natural shade of your teeth. This method utilizes high concentration bleaching agents to achieve effective and rapid results.
Before commencing treatment, our experts will conduct a thorough initial consultation to assess your oral health, the extent of discoloration, and your desired results. This step ensures that professional teeth whitening is suitable for you and identifies any prerequisite treatments, this can include but is not limited to tartar removal.
To shield the gums and prevent any potential irritation from the whitening agents, we employ protective measures like a rubber dam or a special protective gel on the gums. A whitening gel, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is meticulously applied to the surface of your teeth.
The concentration of our whitening gel is significantly higher than over-the-counter products, guaranteeing superior results with our expert application. After application, the whitening agent remains on the teeth for a specified duration of time, this can be anywhere from 30 – 60 minutes, depending on your desired level of whitening and the specific products used.
Custom-Fit At-Home Whitening Trays
Achieve a Whiter Smile in the Comfort of Your Home
For those who prefer to whiten their teeth at home, our Custom-Fit At-Home Whitening Trays offer a convenient and effective solution. At Marion Smile Center, we understand that your smile is unique, and that's why we provide custom-fit upper and lower trays tailored precisely to your mouth.
How it Works
Custom-Fit Trays: We begin by taking impressions of your mouth to create custom-fit trays that fit snugly and comfortably onto the teeth. These trays are designed to ensure even and thorough coverage of your teeth.
Whitening Gel: We use the highest concentration of carbamide peroxide (35%), a professional-grade whitening agent available exclusively through dental offices. This potent gel is placed into the custom-fitted trays.
Daily Application: Simply wear the trays for 30 minutes each day, allowing the peroxide in the gel to work its magic. As the gel breaks down, hydroxyl radicals penetrate and whiten the inside of stained teeth.
Results
While individual results may vary, many of our patients start noticing a brighter smile in as little as 3-5 days. Typically, the full whitening process takes 10-14 days, resulting in a noticeably whiter and more radiant smile.
One significant advantage of custom-fit trays is that they whiten all your natural teeth, unlike whitening strips that may only cover parts of your teeth. Experience the convenience and effectiveness of Custom-Fit At-Home Whitening Trays from Marion Smile Center. Get started on your journey to a dazzling smile today.
