It's normal for some to experience minor tooth sensitivity for up to three days after their treatment. If you experience any severe or prolonged sensitivity, please contact our office. All whitening procedures eventually wear off, and teeth gradually return to a darker shade. So, you may want to touch up your teeth occasionally. We can help you determine what maintenance program you should follow, if any. Of course, one of the best ways to preserve your new, brighter smile is to keep up with regularly scheduled professional cleanings!

I needed a repair on my dentures and I dropped them off. Not only did they do the repair, but they tightened up the entire frame. They fit like brand new. They went above and beyond my expectations to solve my problem. One of the best Dentist I’ve ever had.

Everyone was so nice and made me feel very comfortable even though I was totally embarrassed about the way my teeth looked. The front desk lady patiently explained to me cost and payment options she answered all my questions. I can’t wait to get started on my new smile.
