Teeth Whitening
Why Do Teeth Get Stained?
Teeth lose their natural whiteness day in and day out because of medicines and other agents like coffee, tea, wines, and cigarette smoke. Aging, genetics, and medications in the meanwhile tend to make them yellow or dull. Fortunately, the simple art of teeth whitening can brighten everything.
What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Unlike over-the-counter kits, professional whitening at Summit Village Dental uses dental-grade ingredients to break down deep stains on enamel and dentin. The result? A visibly whiter smile in a fraction of the time—and with minimal sensitivity.
We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options depending on your preference and goals.
