Teeth Whitening Treatment in Tarzana

Do you want a whiter smile? Teeth whitening is a popular treatment for discolored teeth. When it comes to teeth whitening, you have two options: In-office treatments and home treatments. Teeth whitening should be done right to avoid discomfort and sensitivity.

Both in-office and home treatments use peroxide-based bleaching agents. You should consult your dentist before starting any teeth whitening treatments.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening done by your dentist can get your teeth brighter more quickly. Dentists use stronger bleaching solutions carefully administered while considering the amount of time the solution is left on your teeth.

You can expect your teeth to change from three to eight shades. In-office sessions usually take approximately an hour over several appointments. Most people are conscious of the cost. We will create a treatment plan that suits your budget.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

There are many choices when it comes to home treatments, but we recommend that you get the advice of your dentist before trying out any of them.

• Tooth whitening strips and gels: These are applied directly to the teeth using a toothbrush on a daily basis. You may notice results between 4 and 6 months of usage.
• Tray-based tooth bleaching systems: This involves wearing a device that looks like a guard which contains the whitening product. You wear the tray for a few hours daily for approximately 4 weeks.
• Tooth whitening toothpaste: Normal toothpaste helps to remove minor stains on your teeth. There are special kinds of toothpaste designed with higher abrasion to drastically whiten your teeth. Most whitening toothpastes brighten your teeth by one shade.
