If you have stained teeth due to smoking, coffee, tea, wine, soft drinks or other substances, you may be a candidate for tooth bleaching. Our cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles offers several tooth bleaching options that can give you the smile that you want.
Tooth bleaching uses hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to remove superficial stains and stains that have penetrated deeper into the dentin, or inner layer of the tooth. Professional bleaching agents use powerful concentrations of peroxide to lighten teeth and bleach away stains. Take-home treatments use custom mouthpieces and professional-strength bleaching gel. Our dentist will provide you with specific instructions for using the gel, and you should start seeing results within a few days.
In-office tooth bleaching may be another option. Chair-side whitening procedures use a special light-activated bleaching gel to penetrate the teeth and eliminate most types of stains in just one hour. This is the fastest, most effective way to whiten teeth, but it may not be appropriate for all patients.
Finding the right whitening solution for your needs can help you get the smile of your dreams. Contact our office today to learn more or to schedule your consultation with our expert in tooth bleaching in Los Angeles.
