Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting than treatments you find over the counter. As we age, our teeth darken over time. We can brighten your teeth by five to ten shades in a single session, but maintaining good oral hygiene and steering away from certain foods and beverages will help keep any future whitening services to a minimum.
In-office Whitening
At Yorkville Dental, we use the latest in whitening technology for our patients that reduces the risk of sensitivity both during and after the procedure. GLO Science is an in-office teeth whitening treatment that combines GLO warming heat and light with professional strength whitening gel that can only be applied by a dental professional. On average we see our patients’ smiles lift anywhere from 5 to 10 shades of stain in just one session of 45 minutes. We can attest to the clinically proven nature of the technology that white smiles are achieved with zero sensitivity.
