Whitening for Life Program
How would you like to have a program that helps you maintain that beautiful, white smile that you worked so hard to achieve? Creating Smiles has developed a Whitening for Life program that helps you do just that!
You’ll receive:
- Custom-fitted whitening trays for your teeth with a full whitening kit
- At every 6 month cleaning and checkup, you’ll receive a FREE refill tube of whitening solution
You’ll be able to touch-up those pearly whites with your at-home kit and it’s easy to use syringes of whitening solution. Our staff will go over how to use the product in your custom trays (remember – you cannot whiten existing crowns, bridges, or fillings) to get the best results possible in between your regular dental visits.
Ask us about Whitening For Life during your next dental appointment!
- Impressions will be taken to create your custom whitening trays
- The entire whitening system is delivered within 1-2 weeks
- A maximum of one whitening solution refill will be provided at each continuing care appointment, not more than twice annually.
- Lost or destroyed applicator trays will be replaced at no cost when models have been stored and provided by the patient.
The fine print….
- Patients must be at least 16 years of age
- Patients must have already completed a new patient exam, x-rays, and one hygiene appointment
- Patients must set up further appointments for their regular continuing dental care, and keep their scheduled appointments.
- All accounts must be kept current with no outstanding balances.
- Patients must value the practice’s philosophy of preventive dentistry.
- A $15 fee will be charged for reinstatement to the program if these guidelines are not followed.
