At Capstone Dental we provide the best teeth whitening treatments available at an affordable price. It is important to be aware that all teeth whitening procedures can cause some level of sensitivity to hot and cold. The level of sensitivity is strongly correlated to the concentration and type of the teeth whitening system used. At Capstone Dental, we offer the latest cosmetic dental teeth whitening system. This whitening procedure is 100% Australian made and causes minimal sensitivity when used correctly. This treatment is effective in providing a whitening effect without greatly increasing the sensitivity of your teeth.
