Teeth Whitening
Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they have been dreaming of with our simple “bleaching” procedure.
What are the details of Teeth Whitening?
It is safe, quick, and inexpensive. At any appointment, just let us know if you would like to begin the bleaching process. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.
In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be ready for you. We provide a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel without altering tooth structure or existing dental work. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We will want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.
Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, brilliant smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice. But because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a try.
Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening:
- Corrects brown, yellow, and mottled teeth stains.
- Improve the aesthetics of your smile, regardless of age.
- It is a solution for a “dull” smile, restoring brightness and brings a smile alive
How is teeth whitening done?
An impression is taken to make a specialized mouth guard mouthguard or stent to hold the bleaching solution against the teeth. The material is used each night for about three to four hours for a week or two. By the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, this bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging, or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations for Teeth Whitening
Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it is better to use products that our practice recommends.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial
Dr. Over repaired my two 26-year old implants and now they are like my own teeth. He was able to use the existing implants and make new individual teeth for them. They never were as good as they are now. I would highly recommend him to anyone with implants or problems with their existing implants. He will be installing another tooth on a new implant I am having installed on October 23 of this year. It is well worth the trip to Eugene for excellent, highly professional treatment. The office staff is wonderful and puts me at ease on each visit.

From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted by a cheerful and helpful person at the front desk. From then on, each person I came in contact with was equally accommodating and a pleasure to be around. The entire office feeling is Professional yet they are able to make you feel comfortable and make you feel like they truly care and want to help you. I can’t say enough about Dr. Over, immediately upon meeting him I felt comfortable and cared about. I have no doubt that my continued experience with Dr. Over and his very professional and knowledgeable staff will be a good one and given all that I need done, I’m very happy that my confidence level is very high and stress/fear level is very low.
