Teeth Whitening

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “bleaching” procedure.

What are the details of teeth whitening?

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.

In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.

Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.

How is teeth whitening done?

Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening

  • Corrects brown, yellow and spotted tooth staining
  • Works on people of any age
  • Is a near-permanent solution for a “dull” smile, restoring brightness and brings a smile alive

An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or porcelain veneers may be more appropriate.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.

I enjoy going to Dr. Bocanegra's office, the staff and the doctor make it a comforting place to be. They make me feel like I can always ask questions and bring my dental concerns to them. If you want to go to a practice where you're treated like family and the clinicians are willing to go above and beyond to help you achieve optimal dental health as well as esthetics, go to Dr. Bocanegra's office.

Patient Review By Barry N

I'm writing this review for my husband Barry Nathan He came home this morning from his first visit to Porto Fino Dental. He was so happily impressed with the cheeriness and friendly atmosphere of the office staff. Dr Bocanegra was personable and friendly he made Barry feel at ease and confident in the work to be done. Sometimes after relocating to a different state it's difficult to form new relationships with medical and dental professionals. Barry felt so relieved today and assured that he was in good hands. Sincerely, Barry & Marsha Nathan Sent from my iPhone

Patient Review By Sherry D

I have been living in Fort Myers for 5 years. It took me three and a half years to decide on a dentist here in the Fort Myers area. I was going back to Miami for my dental care. I found your practice on Angie's List and my only regret is that I did find you guys sooner. Thanks for the great work that all of you do.

Patient Review By Gene I

Dr. Bocanegra is very polite and courteous toward his patients. He takes the time to explain the procedures in advance, as well as alternatives so you know what to expect. During the procedure Dr. Bocanegra and his staff continue to maintain their professional and courteous relationship with their patient throughout the process making sure they are doing fine and have no issue. Regardless of what service was provided, upon completion Dr. Bocanegra makes every effort to speak with each patient and make sure they were well taken care of prior to their departure. Thank you to Dr. Bocanegra and all his Staff!

Patient Review

Today I visited Dr. Bocanegra and his friendly staff for the first time. I have had persistent pain in one tooth for about 6 years. My old dentist and an endodontist couldn't find anything wrong. However, Dr. Bocanegra figured out the problem quickly and performed a simple procedure to correct the bite. Later, while at dinner I realized the pain was easing. Now it is almost completely gone. Words cannot express my gratitude. Yes, I would absolutely, positively recommend him and his staff 100%.

Patient Review By Bob C

after splitting a tooth the evening before I walked into your office early the next morning--not as a patient --after some jugging by you and your staff--you took the time out of your very busy schedule to see me--after x-rays showed the tooth had to come out--once again you took the time to pull it--which really helped--I just wanted to thank you and your staff for taking the time to take care of me--both you and your staff are a credit to your profession--the next time I walk into your office it will as a regular patient--thank you--Bob C (PS--I would recommend you and your staff to anyone)
