Teeth Whitening
Many people come to Ley Dentistry of Indianapolis looking for a whiter, brighter smile through a process called dental whitening. Dental whitening is a non-invasive way to lighten the color of your tooth enamel, making your grin look healthier and helping you feel more confident.
You may be interested in teeth whitening for one or more of the following reasons:
- Yellow or brownish-stained teeth caused from coffee, red wine, or even smoking
- Teeth stained as a result of medications
- A worn outer tooth layer
Our Indianapolis-based dentists can help you decide whether dental whitening is the best option for you to achieve a brighter smile, so take advantage of one of our free cosmetic dentistry consultations.
Here at our Indianapolis dentist office, we offer two easy and economical ways for you to achieve dental whitening.
In-Office Dental Whitening
The laser teeth whitening procedure, also sometimes referred to as Zoom whitening, typically involves one fast and painless visit to our Indy office. During this appointment, our staff will place a dental whitening gel on your teeth off and on for 15- to 20-minute intervals and shine a laser light on the teeth to activate the teeth whitening gel.
After undergoing laser dental whitening, you should walk out of our Indianapolis office with a noticeably brighter, whiter smile. You will also be provided with a take-home whitening system for any “touch-ups” in the future. However, note that severely stained teeth may take more than one laser teeth whitening session or supplemental take-home dental whitening treatments to achieve optimal whiteness.
Take-Home Dental Whitening
Our take-home teeth whitening system is a popular option for many of our patients. The take-home option is a safe and easy way to get whiter teeth in the comfort of your own home. The take-home dental whitening process generally takes two appointments at our convenient Indy office.
During the first visit, our staff will take a custom mold of your teeth that will be used to create personalized teeth whitening trays you can take home. When you return to our Indianapolis office for your second appointment, our cosmetic dentistry staff will make sure your custom dental whitening trays fit properly and instruct you on how to use the take-home dental whitening system.
Be sure to discuss both dental whitening options with our Indy dentists to make sure you get the level of bleaching you desire. No matter how you decide to whiten your teeth, we are confident that you will be happy with the results provided by Ley Dentistry of Indianapolis. Please contact our Indianapolis or Carmel office to schedule a consultation. Our offices conveniently serve the Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Westfield areas.
