Teeth Whitening in Livermore

Make an Appointment
Teeth whitening procedures are used to brighten the appearance of a patient's smile – sometimes by as many as 5 to 10 shades in a single session. According to the American Dental Association, teeth whitening procedures have become some of the most popular esthetic dental treatments among patients throughout the country. Professional teeth whitening services can be performed in an office setting or prescribed for take-home use by a patient. Compared to over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments, professional whitening uses stronger whitening agents that deliver faster and more effective results.

How does Teeth Whitening Work?

Whitening products are usually classified into one of two categories:

  • Peroxide bleaching agents.
  • Whitening toothpaste or mouthwash

Most whitening methods contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient, which falls under peroxide-containing bleaching agents. While both may easily penetrate the enamel and produce appealing results, the concentration of either of these substances defines the whitening system's power, effectiveness, and safety level. 

The bleaching agent reacts chemically with the stained molecules in teeth whitening systems. The stains and discoloration are broken up and eliminated as the latter oxidizes.

Teeth Whitening FAQ

Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

You may be a candidate for professional teeth whitening if you are experiencing discoloration but otherwise have healthy teeth and gums. Schedule a consultation with a dentist to determine if tooth whitening could be right for you. Some patients, such as those who are pregnant or sensitive to whitening agents, may not be candidates for professional whitening.

What Should I Expect When I Get My Teeth Whitened?

Teeth whitening consists of a thorough cleaning and polishing the teeth, with all debris carefully removed. Your dentist will then protect your gums before applying a whitening agent to the surface of your teeth. The product will be activated and left on the teeth for several minutes before washing off with water. Your results will vary according to the natural shade of your teeth and the degree of discoloration. Still, it is normal for patients to experience a lightening of several shades in a single visit.

What Type of Post-Treatment Care is Required After Having My Teeth Whitened?

It is normal to experience some tooth sensitivity following a professional whitening treatment. You may be instructed to avoid consuming highly pigmented beverages for at least 24 hours to prevent the teeth from becoming stained again. Examples include tea, coffee, and wine. Depending on your results and long-term teeth whitening goals, you may also be sent home from your procedure with an at-home whitening kit for later use.
