What Is Teeth Whitening?
Also known as teeth bleaching, teeth whitening is the professional treatment of stained teeth to lighten their color without removing any tooth surface. The professional strength gel eliminates discoloration by lifting the stains from the teeth and revealing the enamel's natural shade. Teeth whitening can lighten your smile significantly, even up to eight shades, depending on your cause and level of staining.
When to Get Your Teeth Whitened
Like everyone else, you probably appreciate aesthetically appealing teeth. If you feel your teeth lack the natural white shine, you can go for a professional teeth whitening service. Teeth whitening works on surface stains developed over the years from causes such as:
- Beverages like tea, coffee, soda, or red wine
- Persistent food stains developed over years
- Smoking and tobacco products
- Poorly maintained oral hygiene
If the cause of discoloration is more intrinsic, such as age, dental trauma, certain medications, or illness, teeth whitening may not be effective. In such cases, an alternative treatment like veneers or crowns can help you achieve the stunning white smile you're looking for.
Our Teeth Whitening Services in San Francisco
At our office, we offer Philips Zoom in-office teeth whitening solutions and take-home kits. The ideal method for attaining a brighter smile will vary from one person to another. Our dentist will discuss your various options and help you decide based on your level of staining, timeline, lifestyle, and schedule. Whichever method you choose, you can expect professional service that will deliver noticeable and lasting results.
Zoom In-Office Bleaching
Our most potent teeth whitening solution is our in-office treatment, which can whiten by several shades and takes as little as one hour. Here is what you can expect during the treatment:
- After determining you are an ideal candidate for teeth whitening, our dentist will proceed to take a record of your teeth's shade.
- The next step is to clean and polish your teeth to remove any plaque and food stains.
- The dentist will then place a protective cover over your gums and eyes.
- A whitening gel will then be placed on your teeth, and the dentist will point the zoom LED light at your teeth, and the bleaching will start.
- The process is done three times to ensure that your teeth reach their best shade.
- At the end of the session, we'll compare your resulting shade with the original so you can see the clear results of your treatment.
After the procedure, we will give you a take-home kit with custom whitening trays that you can use at home to enhance your smile further. Our dentist will guide you on how to use the trays for maximum efficiency.
Take-Home Zoom Teeth Whitening Kits
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace, you can choose our take-home teeth whitening kits. The custom trays allow you to achieve even and dynamic results from the comfort of your home. You can whiten over an extended period for potent whitening or use the kit to touch up your smile before an important event.
To ensure your take-home trays fit perfectly, our dentist will take a dental impression of your teeth and use it to design your trays. Once your trays are ready, you can pick up your kit and the bleaching gel to start whitening at your convenience.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening Services
While teeth whitening is often done to remove discoloration, it also offers several other benefits, from boosting self-esteem to improving oral health and hygiene. Some of the reasons you might consider teeth whitening are:
It boosts confidence and self-esteem: Your smile is the first thing other people will notice about you. Stained or yellow teeth can harm your self-confidence, especially when addressing new people. Having your teeth whitened will leave you feeling confident about your smile and overall appearance.
It's the most conservative method of achieving white teeth: Teeth whitening does not involve reshaping or altering the surface of your teeth. Instead, it simply removes the stains from your enamel like a more potent version of a dental cleaning.
It improves dental health: Most teeth whitening products kill bacteria that could lead to gum diseases and tooth decay. In addition, investing in teeth whitening will more likely motivate you to take care of your teeth to maintain that brighter smile.
