Find out how professional teeth whitening could transform your smile.
Want a smile that “wows”? It seems that a whiter smile is one of the biggest requests from our patients. If you aren’t satisfied with the brightness of your smile, you may be considering teeth whitening. While you could do it yourself, you could simply turn to our West Los Angeles, CA, cosmetic dentist Dr. Sally Yousefi for safe, effective, and fast results.
What causes stains?
Did you know that enamel is porous? Because of this, everything we eat and drink can soak through and leave stains on our teeth. While brushing and flossing regularly and thoroughly can certainly prevent these stains from forming, sometimes aging can also take its toll on the radiance of our smiles. If you are dealing with yellowing stains caused by diet or aging, then our professional teeth whitening system that we offer our West Los Angeles, CA, patients may be ideal for you.
What goes into getting professional whitening?
When you come into our office for whitening several steps have to occur to get results. These steps include:
- Cleaning your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup
- Placing a dental dam over the gums to expose the teeth while protecting and covering the gums
- Applying the whitening gel to the front surface of your teeth and leaving it for 10-15 minutes
- Removing the gel, rinsing and drying the teeth, and then reapplying the whitening gel (most whitening sessions offer two or three, 15-minute gel applications to get the desired results)
- Look at the before and after shade guide to determine how much whiter our system was able to get your smile in just one session
- Discuss aftercare and additional whitening options (including further sessions or at-home whitening to maintain results)
