Schedule a Teeth Whitening Consultation

Serving Patients in Vancouver WA

If your teeth are stained or discolored, a simple teeth whitening procedure can greatly improve your smile. Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry provides multiple teeth whitening options from which you can choose the one that suits you best.

To determine the best option for you, schedule a consultation with us! Although we have several options to choose from, your own unique situation and dental health will determine the best course of action. Here are just some of the teeth whitening services we offer.

Teeth Whitening Trays

At-home whitening trays will provide minor results within a few days, but the full effect will take 2-3 weeks to emerge. You can purchase this teeth whitening option over the counter, but we always recommend getting it from a dentist’s office. OTC options are less effective, and it will take longer to see results. If you choose trays from Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry, we can create a customized tray to maximize your results. This tray that will hold the whitening gel contains carbamide peroxide as the primary whitening ingredient.

Teeth Whitening Strips

While the process and time invested is similar to whitening trays, results from whitening strips are typically a bit faster. These are plastic strips that are directly applied to the teeth, with specialized strips for the top teeth and bottom teeth. For best results, you can apply twice a day for approximately 30 minutes each time. After two weeks of diligent application, your desired results should be achieved. These strips can cause some gum irritation or tooth sensitivity.

Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

For whitening toothpaste, several weeks to several months of use are required to see results, depending on the quality and frequency of use. Often times, these types of toothpaste are harsh on the teeth and can damage your gums too. Success is not guaranteed, but these pastes are effective for some. We recommend asking your dentist if a whitening toothpaste is safe, as some OTC toothpaste can damage tooth enamel.
