Downers Grove Teeth Whitening

Wouldn’t you love to have a brilliant white smile? It’s easy with teeth whitening. And Dr. Karen Blair, of Downers Grove, Illinois, is an expert in this procedure.

There are two ways Dr. Blair uses to whiten your teeth. The fastest is with Zoom whitening. You come in to our office for two appointments that involve sitting under the high-tech whitening light with the Zoom gel on your teeth. After the first appointment, your teeth are considerably brighter. After the second appointment they are brighter still. Then you wear some custom-made clear plastic trays after each appointment.

Or, if you prefer, you can do the entire procedure at home. We take impressions of your teeth and make you a set of clear plastic trays that you wear for a period of time each day. We give you a gel to put in the tray. You control the amount of whitening you want by how long you wear the trays. You can wear them for an hour or two each day, or you can wear them overnight. If you keep this up for two weeks, ordinarily your teeth will be dramatically whiter. For more stubborn stains, it may require longer.

Tetracycline stains do not respond well to tooth whitening treatments. For tetracycline stains we recommend porcelain veneers.
