Your smile is one of the first things people see, so its natural to want your teeth to look their best. A bright, white smile looks both healthy and attractive, but for some of us it can be difficult to achieve. With the help of a professional teeth whitening treatment from Dr. John Ruland or Dr. Michael Ruland of Ruland Family Dentistry in Annapolis, MD, you can have that picture perfect grin in as little as an hour.

Our cosmetic dentistry options for teeth whitening include both in-office and take home versions, so you are sure to find a solution that works for you!

In-office professional teeth whitening:

At our Annapolis, MD, office, we can give you quick and impressive results in as few as a single treatment. With a higher concentration and percentage of hydrogen peroxide than you would find in a drugstore kit, our in-office treatment offers powerful whitening. To ensure your comfort, we will place a protective barrier over your gums and the roots of your teeth and place a thin plastic retractor in your mouth to keep your cheeks and lips from coming in contact with our hydrogen peroxide whitening solution. We will apply the gel directly to your teeth, using an even and thorough coat, and let it work its whitening magic. You should see the results of this cosmetic dentistry treatment within an hour.

Take home whitening:

Our Annapolis, MD, office we can also offer you a take home version of our teeth whitening treatment. You likely won't see results as quickly with this option, but you will be able to do the treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own home, on your own time.

We will take a mold of your teeth at our Annapolis, MD, office and use it to make thin, flexible plastic trays to fit over your top and bottom teeth. You will fill the trays directly with the whitening gel we provide, and leave the trays on for about an hour per treatment.

Maintaining your white teeth:

To maintain the results of your cosmetic dentistry procedure, you will want to abstain from smoking, minimize staining foods and beverages, and make sure to brush and floss regularly.
