Teeth Whitening In Calabasas

A great smile is one of the first things people notice about you. However, if you've ever worried about having dull, gray, or yellowed teeth, you're not alone. Many everyday things like coffee, tea, and wine use can significantly dull the color of your teeth. Some foods, such as berries and chocolate, can stain teeth. Additionally, the dulling effects of both aging and smoking are easy to see.

Fortunately, new advances in teeth whitening enable your dentist to significantly brighten your smile in a short time.

Your Options:

A "shade" is a color-matching key used by dentists to determine the brightness of teeth. An 8-shade shift in whiteness is excellent and can be achieved with our special in-office whitening treatment.

Modern tooth-whitening systems are highly effective and have dramatic results. Many celebrities consistently whiten their teeth to improve their appearance.

Occasionally, patients may experience some gum or tooth sensitivity when using their trays. These symptoms subside when whitening has been discontinued for several days.

Plastic whitening trays will be made from models of your teeth. You will then place a special whitening gel in each tray, and wear the trays in your mouth for several hours per day. (Many patients wear their trays after dinner and before bed.) A significant change in tooth color is usually seen in just four to six weeks.

Accelerated whitening is another option for some patients. This process can result in whiter, brighter teeth in just one office visit. Please consult with the doctor to see if this procedure may work for you.

Occasionally, teeth may be stained in a way that limits the effectiveness of tooth whitening. In those instances, porcelain veneers or crowns are an excellent alternative.
