Learn about the benefits of professional teeth whitening at California Dental Group

What to Expect from Professional Teeth WhiteningDo you wish you had a whiter, more youthful, healthier-looking smile? Professional teeth whitening may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Here’s what you can expect from professional teeth whitening at California Dental Group:

Results: Professional teeth whitening in your dentist’s office is simply the best way to see significant improvements in the color of your teeth. Why? Because we are able to use stronger, more effective products than can be purchased over the counter, in combination with special activating lights that make the bleaching action even more powerful.

Comfort: Trying to use at-home whitening products such as strips and trays can be very uncomfortable. Trays typically don’t fit right, strips can come loose, and whitening products can irritate your gums. By contrast, professional teeth whitening is very comfortable. It’s almost like a spa treatment for your teeth. All you have to do is sit back and relax while a trained dental professional applies the whitening agent to each individual tooth for you.

Safety: Because professional whitening is always done under the supervision of a dental professional, it is very safe. There is no risk of over-bleaching your teeth like could happen if you overuse at-home whitening kits. Plus, we make sure your gums are protected from any contact with the whitening agent.

Tips for Getting the Most from Your Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment

Always Get Whitening from a Dentist: Occasionally you see offers for professional teeth whitening in other venues besides the dentist’s office—like on a cruise ship. If you value your smile, don’t trust your whitening to anyone but a dental professional.

Start with a Cleaning: A lot of the discoloration on your teeth may be caused by yellowish plaque buildup. By getting a professional dental cleaning before your whitening treatment, you can remove plaque and make sure the whitening agents are acting directly on the enamel for better results.

Avoid Staining Agents: After your whitening treatment, try to avoid staining agents like coffee, dark tea, dark soda, red wine, and smoking to keep your smile bright.

Use Whitening Products at Home: To keep your teeth looking white as long as possible, it is a good idea to use a whitening toothpaste. If you want more whitening power, ask your dentist for a take-home whitening kit.

Correct Serious Stains with Cosmetic Dental Work: Some stains are simply too dark or too deep into the tooth structure to be improved with whitening. Fortunately, you can cover these stains with veneers or crowns.
