Teeth Whitening – In-office and Take Home

Over time, your teeth can become stained, darker or discolored. Teeth whitening can lighten the shade of your teeth and transform a dull, tired smile into a beautiful, dazzling smile that enhances your confidence and self-esteem.
Teeth whitening systems are a safe, easy and effective way to remove or bleach external stains on your teeth and brighten the appearance of your smile. Dr. Nguyen offers both an in-office and take-home option. The Sapphire In-Office Teeth Whitening System uses a powerful light along with a professional grade teeth whitening gel to bleach the teeth. Sapphire is a one-visit office treatment that gently yet dramatically whitens and brightens dull, discolored teeth in less than an hour.
For an at-home solution, Contrast P.M.® Teeth Whitening Gel is a safe, effective and easy to use tooth whitening system. Custom-fit whitening trays surround the teeth so that the gel coats the surface of the teeth. The gel has a mild, spearmint flavor and noticeably whitens teeth in only 7-10 days, not 2 -3 weeks like other at-home teeth whitening solutions.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can beautify your smile by improving the color, shape and spacing of your teeth. Veneers are thin artificial coverings that are applied over the front of your natural teeth. You might be a candidate for veneers if you need to correct the appearance of chipped, cracked, or gapped teeth or whiten stained teeth. Veneers can also correct misaligned or misshapen teeth, strengthen your natural teeth and preserve the natural structure of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers are long-lasting, natural-looking, resistant to stains and chips and will not discolor over time. If your teeth are chipped or beginning to look worn with age, veneers can restore their youthful appearance and protect them from further damage. By bonding a thin porcelain shell on the front of your teeth, Dr. Nguyen can create that dazzling, natural-looking smile you have always dreamed of.
