WHITENING

At Damon R. Johnson DDS, you can dramatically whiten your teeth. Dull, grey, yellow or stained teeth can ruin a first impression. Whether for business or personal reasons, tooth whitening is one of the most popular dental treatments available currently.

Teeth are easily discolored by coffee, cigarettes, wine and even medications. Discolored teeth can make a person hide their smile or make them appear older than their actual years. Teeth can be rapidly and effectively lightened using non-toxic composites and laser tooth whitening technology.

Dr. Damon Johnson uses various contemporary whitening technologies. This gel process uses hydrogen peroxide and an activator together to significantly whiten teeth. Often, an in-office procedure is preferred as both the upper and lower teeth are whitened in a few hours.

After treating the lips and gums to avoid the bleaching compound, it takes about 15 minutes for the activator and light to do its work. A special bleaching lamp is used to activate the whitening gel and speed up the teeth whitening process. Depending on the staining on the teeth, the process is repeated usually two more times during your visit.

A cleaning is often done beforehand to remove plaque, the film of bacteria and mucus, from the surface of your teeth. If need be, also a soothing wash is applied which will neutralize the area and to avoid sensitivity to hot and cold drinks and food afterwards.

A long-lasting, safe, fast, effective, brighter smile is yours!
