Whitening

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to make your smile whiter and brighter. Dr. Gilfillan offers in-office whitening sessions or an at-home whitening system designed with your goals in mind. The at-home whitening process begins with making you a set of clear, custom-fitting trays that you wear over your teeth each day or night for 4-6 hours. The active ingredient in the gel is an FDA approved form of hydrogen peroxide. The whitening gel is placed inside the trays and the trays are worn as instructed by our office. Results usually occur in about 1-14 days.

The in-office whitening process takes about an hour while you can enjoy listening to music if you like. You will spend about sixty minutes wearing a booster gel that has been carefully placed on your teeth. The process accelerates the whitening reaction and gets the teeth about three-quarters of the way there. Then you will wear the custom trays for 4-6 hours for several more days until the desired result is achieved.
