A white, bright smile can help create a youthful appearance. We offer a number of different whitening options, depending upon your needs. We invite you to consult with us to determine which option is best for you. Our dentist may need to perform an exam to determine if your teeth are healthy enough for whitening.
If you are a candidate for whitening, we may suggest a procedure called chair side or in-office whitening, and it may be completed in as little as one visit. During an in-office whitening procedure, we will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber shield to protect your oral soft tissues. A whitening agent is then applied to your teeth, and a special light may be used to enhance the action of the agent.
Custom take-home whitening products typically come in a gel which is dispensed into a tray or mouth guard. These trays are made by your dentist to fit your teeth precisely. Usage may vary depending on the product. Some products are used twice a day for approximately 2 weeks, while others are intended for overnight use for 1-2 weeks.
We offer a professional alternative to common over-the-counter whitening options. It’s a simple and fast whitening treatment that can also be used for whitening touch-ups. It uses prefilled, disposable trays that don’t require impressions or custom trays.
When my dentist retired I was worried about finding a new one. I had my dentist for years and he knew me well. I have had TMJ surgery in the past and it’s not easy for me to get stuff done, even cleanings. However Dr Breen and his staff at Elgin Dental were GREAT! They were friendly and made me feel very welcome. Tammy was so caring about how I was doing while she cleaned my teeth. I needed to see a specialist as well and even then, the specialist needed some X-rays from Dr Breen and it was sent immediately. I was very pleased with everyone! They even explained all my costs after insurance. I highly recommend Dr Breen. It’s nice to know I found another great dentist after mine retired. Oh and Sheryl was so helpful and caring from the moment I walked in there.
I’ve had a cleaning, exam, crown and filling. Everything was done perfectly. I highly recommend Dr Breen and his staff.
My experience has been the best. The professionalism and friendliness is amazing. I got the results I was looking for and all my questions were answered. I recommend this place 10/10
