Teeth Whitening

 

Teeth Whitening in Anaheim Hills, CA 

Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth.  The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically.  Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc.  Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.

Tooth whitening is not permanent.  A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.

Reasons for tooth whitening:

  • Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development)
  • Normal wear of outer tooth layer
  • Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.)
  • Yellow, brown stained teeth

What does tooth whitening involve?

This type of tooth whitening usually requires two visits. At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear plastic, trays. 
At your second appointment, you will try on the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary. The trays are worn with special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening. It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching.

You will receive care instructions for your teeth and trays, and be encouraged to visit your dentist regularly to help maintain a beautiful, healthy, white smile.

Chairside Teeth Whitening

Zoom! Effectively brighten teeth by several shades with the assistance of a specially designed light that activates the whitening gel.

Opalescence – This method relies on an advanced whitening formula that doesn’t require a light source to trigger the whitening action.

While Opalescence uses a chemical activator to lift stains, it also contains fluoride and a desensitizing agent to prevent irritation from occurring. Zoom! works directly with the activating light. For those patients who prefer to use Zoom!, Dr. Adelynia applies fluoride to both decrease sensitivity and re-mineralize your teeth’s enamel.

Professional Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Each of our chairside whitening options has at-home counterparts. After obtaining impressions of your teeth for the fabrication of custom-made trays, l. You will be instructed how to use the whitening trays to achieve the desired results while avoiding sensitivity.  Still, you retain the flexibility to whiten at your own pace if you prefer to wear the trays for less than the maximum recommended time.

To date, over-the-counter products have not been able to produce the same results as professional teeth whitening performed in the office or provided as a take-home treatment. Many of our Anaheim Hills teeth whitening patients come to us after months or even years of attempting to whiten with drugstore brand whiteners, only to have spent hundreds of dollars on products that just don’t work for teeth that have significant discoloration.

If you have would like a brighter smile, whether it’s to make a great impression at an upcoming event or just lift your level of confidence, Anaheim Hills Smile Studio has a teeth whitening option that’s right for you.
