Teeth Whitening
What are the details of teeth whitening?
It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. 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 to pick up. We provide you with 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 in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.
Dental whitening can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in whitening 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 whitening treatments, teeth whitening is nearly always worth a solid try.
A Whiter Smile Is Just a Visit Away
Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “whitening” procedure. We offer In-office and take-home teeth whitening options.
Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening
Corrects brown, yellow and spotted tooth staining
Works on people of any age
Is a near-permanent 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 “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or dental veneers may be more appropriate.
What are teeth veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.
Placing custom teeth veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely, and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient’s smile.

Fotona Laser Dentistry: Precision, Comfort & Transformative Results
We are proud to offer state-of-the-art Fotona laser technology, revolutionizing many cosmetic and general dental procedures. The Fotona laser allows us to perform treatments with unparalleled precision, often leading to less discomfort, faster healing times, and truly exceptional outcomes. Experience the future of gentle dentistry!
Experience Needle-Free, Pain-Free Dentistry: For many common procedures, our Fotona laser significantly reduces or even eliminates the need for traditional injections and local anesthesia. This means a more relaxed, comfortable experience for patients who have dental anxiety or simply prefer to avoid needles and the lingering numbness. Imagine having a cavity filled or gum treatment with minimal discomfort and no “fat lip” feeling afterward!
Our Laser-Enhanced Cosmetic & Therapeutic Services Include:
ComfortLase™: Advanced Pain Relief & Healing Support
ComfortLase™ is a powerful application of our Fotona laser designed to provide gentle, non-invasive relief for a variety of conditions, including TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) pain. This innovative laser therapy works by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level, reducing inflammation, accelerating tissue regeneration, and alleviating discomfort. If you suffer from jaw pain, clicking, or limited movement, ComfortLase™ can offer significant relief without medication or invasive procedures.
LipLase™: Naturally Fuller Lips Without Injections
Achieve a naturally fuller, smoother, and more youthful pout with LipLase™. This non-invasive laser treatment stimulates collagen production within your lips, subtly enhancing their volume, improving texture, and defining the cupid’s bow. It’s a gentle, no-downtime way to rejuvenate your smile’s frame, all without the need for needles or fillers.
SleepLase™: A Non-Surgical Path to Better Sleep
While primarily focused on sleep improvement, SnoozeLase™ can indirectly contribute to your overall well-being and confidence by addressing factors related to sleep-disordered breathing. This gentle laser treatment tightens tissues in the soft palate and throat, which can reduce snoring and improve airway patency, leading to better rest and often a more refreshed appearance. (Note: SnoozeLase is often considered therapeutic, but improved sleep can have a positive cosmetic impact.)
Gum Reshaping (Gingivectomy/Gum Contouring): Perfecting Your Smile Line
Do you feel your smile is too “gummy”? Or perhaps your gum line is uneven? Our Fotona laser allows for precise and gentle gum reshaping. This procedure, also known as a gingivectomy or gum contouring, can:
Balance your gum line: Creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing frame for your teeth.
Reveal more tooth structure: Making short or stubby teeth appear longer and more proportionate.
Reduce a “gummy smile”: Enhancing the overall harmony between your teeth and gums. The laser provides a virtually bloodless procedure with minimal discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods.
At Wisteria Dental Care, our commitment to minimally invasive techniques and your overall well-being means we choose technologies like the Fotona laser to ensure your cosmetic and therapeutic dental experience is as comfortable, effective, and transformative as possible. Let us help you achieve the radiant smile you’ve always dreamed of, with gentle care that prioritizes your health.
