If you’ve noticed your teeth losing their luster due to coffee, tea, or natural aging, professional intervention can make a world of difference. For over 20 years, Philip K Clark, PA, has been the trusted destination for teeth whitening in Fleming Island, FL, and the surrounding Clay County communities.
Unlike over-the-counter kits that provide inconsistent results, our professional-grade whitening systems are designed to be safe, fast, and remarkably effective for our neighbors in Fleming Island and Orange Park.
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment that changes the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern for most patients, there are several ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is using a home teeth-whitening system that dramatically whitens teeth.
Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate the need to replace any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching, so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
This type of teeth whitening usually requires two visits. At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear, plastic trays.
At your second appointment, you will try on the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary. The trays are worn with a special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks, depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening. It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity while whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you stop bleaching.
You will receive care instructions for your teeth and trays, and be encouraged to visit your dentist regularly to help maintain a beautiful, healthy, white smile.
While "whitening strips" are available at every drugstore, they often lack the strength to tackle deep-set stains. Professional teeth whitening offers:
Stronger Formulas: Medical-grade bleaching agents provide results in a fraction of the time.
Safe Supervision: Dr. Clark monitors the health of your enamel to prevent sensitivity.
We believe cosmetic dentistry should be a personalized experience, not a one-size-fits-all procedure.
Advanced Diagnostics: We evaluate your dental health first to ensure whitening is the right solution for your specific tooth structure.
University of Florida Expertise: As a graduate of the UF College of Dentistry, Dr. Philip K. Clark applies over three decades of clinical innovation to every smile makeover.
A Private Practice Approach: We aren't a corporate dental chain. When you visit us, you receive one-on-one attention from the same established team you've trusted for decades.
Choosing a dentist for cosmetic procedures requires trusting their expertise:
