At Oceanside Dental Excellence, we know that a beautiful smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional teeth whitening can dramatically improve your overall appearance and boost your self-confidence.
Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink continually such as colored sodas, coffee and red wine worsen the staining.
Most individuals are aware that smoking is not only bad for our lungs, but can also discolor our teeth. There are even some medications that can influence tooth color.
If you are considering having your teeth whitened, you must first pick which method to use. At-home whitening treatments usually consist of trays filled with whitening solution. It generally takes 7-14 days to achieve 3-6 shades lighter. Brush-on teeth gels and whitening strips take up to 30 days to realize results. Whitening toothpaste may lighten superficial stains but often provides no change in the appearance of teeth.
Professional teeth whitening services performed by a dental professional achieve dramatic results that can last longer than other treatments.
All of the whitening methods may cause tooth pain or sensitivity, but this usually goes away in a few days. If you have crowns, porcelain veneers, or dental bonding, it is vital to talk with your dentist before choosing a whitening method.
At Oceanside Dental Excellence, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our patients. Call our offices to schedule a consultation to talk about teeth whitening or any other dental procedure.
