Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening, or bleaching, is a safe and very popular way to give you a whiter, more confident smile fast.

Dr. Finlay & Associates offers teeth whitening to give their patients in the Baltimore and Annapolis area whiter smiles every day. There are a variety of techniques that we have available at our office near Baltimore, Maryland.

At-home whitening systems can be bought in stores, but they cannot compare to the predictability and results of professionally provided whitening systems. One option that we offer is an in-home bleaching system.

With the Opalescence Tooth Whitening Systems available in several concentrations, the patient utilizes an intraoral appliance that is custom fabricated by our team. The patient then injects into this appliance the professionally supplied whitening gel and the mouthpiece is then comfortably worn at night while sleeping, or at another period during the day. Within just a few applications, your teeth will be noticeably whiter and the process is typically complete in 10 days.

ZOOM™ professional tooth whitening is the hottest technique available to dental professionals. It is the same technique that is seen on ABC’s Extreme Makeover. At our office near Baltimore, Maryland we will first isolate the teeth we plan to whiten and then apply 4 x 15 minute applications of the ZOOM™ whitening gel that is then accelerated by the ZOOM™ light.

You can relax with headphones and an iPod or watch TV on a 32” LCD screen while your teeth are whitening in just 1 hour! You are also provided with whitening trays that you can then apply additional whitening gel to maintain your bright new smile!

The results with both these whitening systems is permanent; however, everyone’s teeth will get darker over the years (whether or not they have ever whitened their teeth). Provided you take care of your appliances, and only minor changes are done to your teeth over the years, you can simply purchase a professional touch up kit for less than what it costs for a good haircut to help keep your smile beautiful and white!

Announcing our “Forever White Smile Program”

We feel that our patients should have the best and the brightest smiles in Annapolis. Because of this we are announcing a new additional benefit to our whitening programs. Currently we offer two Professional Whitening Systems: Tray Whitening & Accelerated ZOOM. There are also touch up kits that available to spruce up your smile if you have already have had custom trays fabricated. After your initial professional whitening procedure or purchase of a touch up kit, as long as you are an active patient of record in good standing and have consecutively maintained your recommended recare visits, you will receive a complimentary single dose touch up syringe of whitening solution at your second recare visit each year. Fabrication of new appliances, if required, will be an additional fee. This will help you insure that your smile will be the best it can be “forever”.

This program is retro active if you have maintained consecutive dental prophylaxis twice a year since your initial investment in professional whitening or a touch up kit.
