The essential part of a great smile starts with bright white teeth. These days, teeth whitening procedures have become a relatively easy way to instantly improve aesthetics, create a positive first impression, and achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. At the office of Buena Park Smile Dental, our trained staff is highly skilled in performing professional teeth whitening techniques to help you look your very best.

It’s no secret that life can do a number on your teeth. Despite your best efforts of brushing and flossing regularly, food, drink, advancing years, tobacco use -- even some medications -- can stain and discolor teeth, giving them an unattractive, yellowish brown appearance.

Professional teeth whitening offers several advantages over OTC teeth whitening products: it’s easier and more convenient for the patient and produces better, more long-lasting results. The process is relatively simple and takes anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Whitening products contain one of two tooth bleaches that break stains into smaller pieces, making the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter. Once the optimum shade has been reached, the teeth are rinsed, and a fluoride may then be applied to help ease any tooth sensitivity.

Keep in mind that whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, whitening will not work on caps, veneers, crowns or fillings. It also may not be effective if tooth discoloration is caused by certain medications or tooth injury. That’s why it’s important to speak with your doctor to see if the procedure is right of you.

Did you know that everyone’s teeth are as unique in color as their skin or hair? However, over the years, persistent exposure to pigmented food and beverages, tobacco use, certain medications, and even aging can lead to the gradual yellowing of our teeth. While this may seem unavoidable, thanks to advances in cosmetic dentistry, there are many procedures available through your dentist to renew and revitalize the appearance of your smile. At Buena Park Smile Dental, we offer leading edge cosmetic options in care, including professional teeth whitening to dramatically lighten and brighten your smile. With the supervision of our skilled professional team, our teeth whitening procedure can safely and dramatically improve the look of your smile. Don’t be fooled by all the claims made by some over-the-counter products sold online or in the stores. Not only do some of these products fail to deliver the results as promised, some have even been found to contain abrasive ingredients that can be harmful for your teeth and gums. As a leading dental care provider, we offer our whitening system in two convenient forms. Our in-office procedure takes as little as an hour to complete and can leave you with teeth that are up to 8 shades brighter. For patients with a more on-the-go lifestyle, we can provide a customized take-home kit that can be worn day or night to achieve the most pleasing results a bit more gradually.
