Teeth Whitening
Illuminate your smile with teeth whitening, revealing the brilliance within!
A cosmetic dental procedure that helps lighten the shade of your teeth removing stains and discoloration to enhance the brightness of your smile.
Our office uses custom tray fabrication with a 15% Carbamide Peroxide gel.
We do not offer “Instant” whitening procedures due to the increased tooth sensitivity associated with these procedures. Our custom tray whitening method consists of having upper and lower alginate impressions taken and having stone models poured from those impressions.
A retainer is made that conforms tightly to the teeth and will be conservatively loaded with the bleaching gel from a syringe and worn 1 – 2 times per day for approximately one hour each time. The custom bleaching tray can also be worn for maintenance every few months once the desired level of bleaching has been achieved.
Teeth whitening can help with self-esteem and confidence building. When considering these benefits, we are here to help, please give us a call.
Sedation Dentistry
For your convenience, we offer these three types of comfort and sedation dentistry:
Nitrous Oxide
This “laughing gas,” as most people know it, is used for simple fillings or routine cleaning treatments and is the most common form of sedation. Thanks to this simple form of sedation, your entire dental treatment can be a relaxing experience.
Sedation By IV
During IV Sedation, the patient’s vital signs are monitored throughout the entirety of the procedure, as the sedation is administered via IV. The patient will have been sleeping during the entire process, in this case, and will awaken only after the procedure.
Suppose a patient must return to school or work after completing the procedure. In that case, it will be especially beneficial for them to understand their need for sufficient recovery time before they leave.
Conscience Oral Sedation
We currently offer oral sedation for our patients who wish to remain conscience and yet come to us with gagging problems or a higher than average amount of fear and anxiety. Throughout the entire procedure, we closely monitor their vital signs once giving a combination of oral medications.
Once taking the oral medication we provide, the patient becomes highly relaxed and drowsy, and after their appointment, most patients remember nothing of the fear or anxiety they may have thought to experience without.
You will not be put to sleep with oral sedation, and during the entire procedure, you will be able to respond to Dr. Melancon and his team.
