Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment to improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Smiling with white teeth is a confidence booster, and creates a lasting first impression. For people with sensitive teeth, the procedure can be uncomfortable and painful due to the effect of peroxide on teeth. You will feel uncomfortable when you expose your teeth to hot or cold stimulus. The good news is that there are procedures meant for sensitive teeth.
 
Dentist’s Chairside Bleaching
 
The dentist uses a bleaching agent that has only 10 percent hydrogen peroxide. The low peroxide content is enough to whiten your teeth without making them sensitive. This procedure takes any time between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
 
In-Office Bleaching
 
Here, our Beverly Hills tooth whitening expert makes a mouthpiece tray after taking your teeth impressions. This mouth guard is customized to fit over your teeth. A gel containing carbamide peroxide is put into the tray. You are supposed to wear the tray several hours a day.
 
These methods will bring back the sparkle that you lost from your teeth due to discoloration.
