Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth.

The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco.

Food particles are naturally attracted to a tooth's enamel by a certain protein. Products like coffee and tea, berries and soy sauce are notorious for staining teeth. Over time, teeth actually become more absorbent and vulnerable to staining from food and other substances.

One type of stain-caused by traumatic injuries, medications and fluorosis-actually begins inside the tooth; brushing and flossing don't help. Another type of stain-one that can be more easily attacked by brushing, flossing and rinsing-is caused by external factors such as foods.

More and more people today are choosing tooth-whitening procedures to reverse the effects of aging and abuse from food and tobacco stains.

Some commercially available "whitening toothpastes" can be somewhat effective at removing stains and making teeth a few shades brighter. However, many of these products have abrasive substances that can actually wear away your tooth's enamel.

Whitening agents actually change the color of your teeth, but only are effective on certain types of stains. For example, bleaching agents have a difficult time removing brownish or grayish stains. These products also are not as effective on pitted or badly discolored teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding and tooth-colored fillings (porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be more appropriate in this case).

Professional whitening performed by our office is considered to be the most effective and safest method; done properly, tooth whitening can last as long as five years. Over-the-counter whitening systems are somewhat effective as long as they are monitored and directions followed closely.

Crowns Now has whitened thousands of patients.  We offer everything from Zoom in office Whitening, and Venus brand tray Whitening, to professional strips.

After years of Whitening Experience we have learned that everyone whitens at different rates, and have different degrees of temporary sensitivity.

Did you know that the darker your complexion, eyes, and hair the more likely your teeth will whiten quickly with less sensitivity, while red heads with light colored eyes have to be more patient and usually experience more sensitivity?

Did you know  that in most cases the less time taken to initially whiten teeth, the more maintenance is needed to keep them their whitest?

(Zoom teeth whitening, 1-2 hours of in office treatment will require more maintenance than 2 weeks of gradual Venus custom tray whitening)

At Crowns Now we are always aware of COST EFFECTIVE EXCELLENCE, and we want our patients to have the best treatment at the lowest possible fee. In office Whitening is expensive (up to $400) and requires more maintenance, but is great for someone who needs to get white in a hurry, for a wedding, photo shoot, or Job interview. Venus custom Tray Whitening ($199, check our web site for specials) is Crowns Now most popular and effective way to whiten, it takes more time, but most of our patients are very happy with the results. Venus Preformed trays ($55) are the most economical and we have seen very good results with less complicated cases.

Crowns Now has not had any reported cases of damage or permanent sensitivity of teeth from our whitening products. Crowns, Veneers, and porcelain fillings, will not whiten so always consider this before whitening, or before having a crown placed if you are planning to Whiten in the future.  

Crowns now can find the right product for you.
