teeth whitening treatment from your Vernon Hills

One of the most well known cosmetic dental procedures is teeth whitening. Dr. Kumar and the team at SmileMoreToday love helping our patients revitalize their facial aesthetic with their chosen teeth whitening treatment because we know that the side effect of a brighter smile is improved confidence.

SmileMoreToday serves men and women from areas including  Vernon Hills, the Chicago suburbs, and neighboring communities.  We offer choices because we understand that no two people are exactly alike. What may meet the needs of one of our patients will not be ideal for another. For this reason, our patients may choose from in-office or home whitening treatments. 

Whichever method of whitening is chosen, you can expect a thorough consultation with Dr. Kumar. Through discussion of need and a dental exam comes the perfect plan for your rejuvenated smile. 

In-Office Whitening

There is one major reason for the popularity of in-office whitening and that is fast results. For the busy individual, letting us do all the work is the most convenient and efficient choice. Teeth whitening in our office is completed in about an hour. During the visit, we apply protective sheeting around the lips and gums and apply whitening gel to the teeth. A special light is directed at the teeth, activating the whitening solution for faster results. Depending on the degree of discoloration, this process may be completed a few times in the same office visit.

Home Whitening

The home whitening method is where the whitening craze first began. Today, this remains an excellent solution to discoloration. When this method is chosen, impressions are taken. From this model, whitening trays are made. These trays will fit around teeth and will keep whitening gel where it belongs, preventing irritation to gum tissue while maximizing the power of the professional grade bleach. Home whitening may take a few weeks to achieve dramatic results, but the outcome is no less stunning than what can be achieved with in-office care. 

SmileMoreToday, with offices in Vernon Hills, provides excellent solutions to your smile concerns. We love to see what happens when imperfections, discoloration, and damage disappear. To receive care tailored to your needs, contact us for your visit today.
