Teeth Whitening Chapel Hill, NC

Teeth Whitening An Overview

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for enhancing the appearance of your smile and giving you a more youthful look. Tarheel Family Dentistry can help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile with a customized take-home teeth whitening kit.

Our take-home kits can offer results that are safer, longer lasting and more consistent than over the counter options using custom fit bleaching trays. You will need to visit us to have dental impressions taken that will be used to create bleaching trays that will fit over your teeth and minimize irritation of the gums while delivering a consistent amount of bleaching product to all tooth surfaces.

Alternatives to Teeth Whitening

If your tooth stains are considered resistant to professional bleaching products or you would like to consider a permanent smile makeover with whiter teeth, Dr. Hewgley offers cosmetic dental treatments that can meet your needs:

  • Tooth bonding
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Dental crowns

Teeth Whitening What to Expect

Dr. Hewgley will meet with you to evaluate the cause of your tooth stains or discoloration to be sure that a professional take-home kit will meet your needs and cosmetic goals. There are certain types of tooth stains, often from medications, that can be resistant to bleaching.

It is also important to start with a clean, healthy smile. If you are in need of a dental cleaning or gum disease is present, we will schedule a cleaning and appropriate treatment to restore and stabilize your oral health before you whiten your teeth. This will ensure the safest and optimal result from your take-home kit.
