Get Your Teeth Whitened

We all know that a whiter smile builds confidence and makes you want to smile more. You can whiten your teeth at home, or in our office.

In-Office Teeth Whitening: In office dental whitening, or internal whitening is required for teeth that underwent root canal and have darkened with time. We use safe and effective in office tooth bleaching products without over-doing them.

Home Whitening and Teeth Bleaching:We'll prepare trays that are specifically for your bite along with a hydrogen peroxide solution. You apply the whitening solution to the front teeth and wear the mouthguard tray for several minutes. The whitening treatment may take several applications to receive the desired level of whitening.

Whitening Toothpaste and Other Over The Counter Products: Whitening toothpaste does not contain bleach. It can, over time, remove coffee and wine stains, but it will not change the color of your teeth. Over the counter teeth whitening products or kits can be mildly abrasive and even painful to sensitive teeth. Whitening strips and whitening gels at the drugstore contain bleaching agents that can have side effects like destroying tooth enamel.

Get Fitted For a Mouthguard

Mouthguards are dental appliances worn over teeth to protect athletes from concussion and teeth from injury during sports. There are three types of mouthguards:

Stock mouth protectors
Boil and bite mouth protectors
Custom fitted mouth protectors

Dr. Lapierre only makes custom mouthguards. They can be used by anyone; especially those who play contact sports such as boxing, ice hockey, basketball, and field hockey.

A custom mouthguard works best because they are individually designed; according to your dentist’s guidelines and instructions. Custom-fitted mouth protectors are made from an impression made of your teeth, providing greater comfort and protection as well as easy breathing and speaking.
