"We shall never know
all the good that a
simple smile can do."
- Mother Teresa
"I am a self proclaimed whitening junkie with extremely sensitive teeth. I have been begging Dr. Lou and Laura to make my teeth whiter but everything we have tried so far gives me excruciating pain (ok, well maybe not excruciating, but definitely pain). I have my very own custom-made trays which fit perfectly over my unwhitened teeth but every time I add any type of bleaching agent and place that tray in my mouth it is just a matter of time before the old tingling starts and turns into real pain real soon. I have not even been able to tolerate normal every-day whitening toothpastes without experiencing the same old discomfort.
But then, glory of glories, Barb Trovato recommended that I try something called MI paste in my trays for a half hour every other day - alternating with the bleaching agent also for a half hour. I actually sat there with my first application of bleaching agent literally waiting for the pain to start --- it did not. I have been using this procedure for several weeks now and have honestly not had a problem. I feel like a new woman. My teeth are slowly getting whiter, and I couldn't be happier.
If your teeth are as sensitive as mine and you want them to be whiter, try this regimen - you're going to love it - I do! "

We offer three tooth-whitening systems at Meetinghouse Dental Care. If you are
uncertain which to try, ask!
Zoom2 and customized trays are ideal for those who need to lighten more than 4
shades quickly or for those who wish to minimize at-home tray wear. Whitening
involves one 90-minute on-site session and three consecutive nights of tray wear
with Turbo White brightening gel.
If you don't mind tray wear, we recommend the Colgate customized tray whitening
system to lighten several shades. Whitening protocol includes ½ hour for
impressions in our office and then ½ hour per day of at-home tray wear for as
few as 3 days or for as many days as it takes to achieve the results you desire.
You choose your shade!
Deep BleachingTM is the only system proven to whiten tetracycline-stained teeth,
and it is ideal for those seeking a youthful Hollywood brightness and
translucency. The procedure involves a 60 minute in-office conditioning visit,
two weeks of nighttime tray wear, and a 60 minute final on-site whitening
session. The trays are specially fabricated to provide a gum-line seal against
saliva contamination. Provided you do your part, you can reach the lightest
shades of white on the bleaching scale.
If you have veneers, crowns, or bonded teeth that show when you smile, no
whitening system will change the original color of the porcelain or bonding
(although whitening will remove stains accumulated on the surfaces). After your
whitening session, bleached teeth will stand out as noticeably brighter. Plan to
wait a week after the final bleaching session for the new color to settle before
beginning replacement dentistry.
Your teeth should be professionally cleaned before you begin to whiten. If you
have plaque/tartar on your teeth, it will block the whitening action.
Regardless of which system you choose, the time it takes to reach your ideal
shade will vary according to factors such as body chemistry, bleaching history,
age, and enamel composition. Compliance with recommended tray wear will be key.
Today's professional world rate smiles THE number one factor in favorable first
impressions. Make your smile radiant!

"I want to tell you how happy I am using the bleach whitening kit; it makes my teeth the whitest! It's so easy and time convenient. It only takes a half-hour - I just apply to trays and watch TV or pack a suitcase. (I usually whiten when I look forward to meeting someone out of town.) Sometimes people wonder if I was just born with white teeth (because they know I drink a lot of coffee) or eat healthy food (not!). Anyway, I use the bleach whitening kit whenever I'm ready for whiter teeth, especially for last-minute get-togethers.
Thank you Meetinghouse Dental Care. You're the best! I enjoy visits! You're very friendly and caring. You always explain how you will care for my teeth. I'm very happy, and that is why I smile a lot! Thank you!"
