The doctors at Loftus Family Dental want you to live your life with a confident, beautiful smile!  If you are ashamed of your teeth and hesitant to grin because of stains, you may want to consider bleaching your teeth.  Pesky, difficult to remove stains from tobacco use and darkly colored beverages can vanish with the help of power bleaching!

Loftus Family Dental uses the Sapphire power bleaching system because it is the most effective teeth whitening technique available.  This system is a process and does include more than one step, but it can create a whiter smile in just one short visit.  The average Sapphire user completes the system with teeth up to 8 shades whiter than when they started! But keep in mind that individual results will vary.

The Process
If you decide power bleaching is for you, your first session will start in our office.  We will apply desensitizer gel to lower your sensitivity to the bleach and then whiten your teeth with a high powered laser system.  This appointment can take up to 2 hours.

During this appointment, you will receive custom made bleaching trays.  You will use them to bleach your teeth at home for the following 5 to 7 days.  You will whiten once a day for a range of 3 to 30 minutes, depending on your comfort level.  Most people find these trays to be very comfortable and easy to wear.

This treatment automatically enrolls you in our "Loyal Patient Whitening Program".This means with every 6 month hygiene appointment, you will receive a free refill of the at-home whitening bleach so you can maintain your bright smile! 

You may have heard that certain types of over-the-counter bleaching gels have acid in them, which may damage fillings, crowns, bonding, and even the roots of teeth. Sapphire whitening gel has absolutely no acid and will not damage teeth or restorations.  It is completely safe.
