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.

First time visitor and had a very good experience. Dr. May is a very good doctor and was able to help me in a short amount of time.
I’ve been going to Dr. Barrett for almost 30 years, and he’s always made me feel at ease, to the point where I enjoy going to the dentist. Now Dr. Barrett is at the point in his career where he’s decided to bring in a new dentist to allow himself to take more time off. I was a little hesitant in the idea of having a new dentist work on my teeth, but as it turns out Dr Barrett hired an excellent choice in dentist to help with the patient load. Dr. May did an excellent job with my recent visit. He made the entire experience as comfortable as I could expect. I highly recommend both Dr. Barrett and Dr. May.
