Why People Love Universal Dental

Called universal dental because my tooth was bothering me. They got me right in and not only took care of the problem tooth, they went over dental implants for me. The staff were friendly and helpful, since I am handicapped. Looking forward to getting all my dental needs taken care of by them.

I have been going to this location for a very long time. The staff upfront was very friendly. Today I had my teeth cleaned. I felt the hygienist did a very thorough job. The doctor came to look at my teeth and the x-rays. He was very pleasant as well.

The staff at the front desk are friendly and accommodating. The hygienist I had was friendly and explained what she was doing. The dentist was very experienced and also friendly while still professional. I intend to continue with this practice because they meet and exceed my expectations.

I have been going to Universal Dental for several years after a friend referred me to them. They are awesome. Very friendly, attentive and informative. The doctor doesn’t push products and services and is fair in the treatment plan. The dental hygienist is awesome too!

I love Universal Dental. It's a friendly staff. The Dentist is awesome. Can't feel anything. Not even the needles to administer numbing medication. They have changed my experience of going to the dentist for the better.

I called with an issue of a cracked tooth. The team took me in the same day and took care of me. I am so grateful and appreciative of them helping me regardless of the inconvenience of it being last minute. I know they had so much to do but they really made me feel cared for and they were so funny and amazing. Front office staff, dental staff, everyone I talked to were professional and very nice. Thank you guys again!

This place is amazing. The staff is very personable and friendly. The Dr is great. The atmosphere is better than any other dentist I have ever been to. I finally found a dentist I will stay with until I don't have teeth anymore.

Very friendly and patient. Got fillings done and I’m not good with shots. They numbed the area before doing shots so I couldn't feel it and accommodated my nervousness. Did a cleaning too and it was good service :).

Brighten Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening

Do you want to enhance the appearance of your smile with a brighter and whiter set of teeth? At Universal Dental, we offer two professional teeth whitening options - KoR and Opalescence - to help you achieve the bright and dazzling smile you desire.

Universal Dental Dental Home for All, Dental Implants

KoR Teeth Whitening

KoR is a revolutionary teeth whitening system that offers deep bleaching to remove even the most stubborn and resistant stains. This system uses a combination of in-office and take-home treatments to deliver exceptional results. In-office treatments take just one hour, and take-home treatments can be done in the comfort of your own home.

Opalescence Teeth Whitening

Opalescence is a professional teeth whitening system that offers a wide range of options to suit your individual needs and preferences. Whether you prefer a take-home treatment or an in-office treatment, Opalescence has you covered. The take-home treatments use custom-fit trays that are worn for a specified amount of time each day. In-office treatments take just one hour and deliver immediate results.

Universal Dental Dental Home for All, Emergency

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

The longevity of professional teeth whitening depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle. On average, professional teeth whitening can last up to 1-2 years with proper care and maintenance. To prolong the results of your teeth whitening treatment, it's recommended to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the teeth whitening treatment take?



The length of the teeth whitening treatment depends on the type of treatment you choose. In-office treatments typically take just one hour, while take-home treatments can take up to two weeks. Our team will discuss the details of your treatment and help you find the best solution for your needs and schedule.

‍

How much does teeth whitening cost?



The cost of teeth whitening varies depending on the type of treatment and the extent of staining. Our team will provide you with an estimate of the cost and discuss your options to help you find the best solution that fits your budget.

‍

Can anyone get teeth whitening?



No, not everyone is a good candidate for teeth whitening. It depends on the health of your teeth and the extent of restorative dental work you have, as crowns and bridges do not respond to teeth bleaching treatment. Our team will assess your oral health and determine if teeth whitening is right for you.

‍

Does teeth whitening hurt?



No, teeth whitening should not be painful. Some people may experience slight sensitivity during and after the treatment, but this is usually temporary and goes away within a few days.

‍

Is teeth whitening safe?



Yes, teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic dental treatment that has been used for many years. Our team of dental professionals will ensure that the treatment is done safely and with the highest quality of care.
