Teeth Whitening
Whiter and brighter smiles at Floss Dental Collective
Teeth naturally darken with age and their appearance can be affected by the accumulation of surface and intrinsic stains from coffee, tea, wine, cigarettes, supplements, medications, and the everyday foods we consume. There are a few ways we can brighten your smile!
You Choose How You Whiten at Floss
The treatments and their effectiveness vary depending on the type of whitening system. A thorough examination and cleaning from a dental professional is recommended before using whitening products. At Floss Dental Collective, we offer two systems for whitening, including custom trays and in-office 1 hour ZOOM treatment.

Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants. Crowns are used most commonly to entirely cover a damaged tooth or an implant. if you’re missing one or more teeth, bridges can be a good option to replace (bridge) the missing ones.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Medication is used in sedation dentistry to assist patients unwind while having dental work done. It is particularly beneficial for people who have poor pain thresholds, sensitive teeth, or dental anxiety. The purpose of sedation is to help you feel relaxed and comfortable while the dentist works, not necessarily to put you to sleep.
How a Root Canal can help?
A root canal removes the infected nerve and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed to prevent re-infection. This treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth.
