Try Our Personalized Whitening Kits

woodland hills whitening If you would like a brighter smile, then you could be interested in teeth whitening. Instead of relying on store bought systems, which are linked to short-lived results and sensitive teeth, we have a custom set of trays and a bleaching gel. In today’s blog, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist will explain how we brighten teeth by several shades from the comfort of your own home.

Your Initial Visit

We first want to see you for an initial office visit. During this visit, we will carefully examine your smile to assess the factors behind your discoloration, as well as the overall severity. If we decide our teeth whitening procedure is right for you, then we could take detailed digital images and impressions of your smile, which we use to create a set of custom-made trays. We then send you home with these trays, and a bleaching gel too!

Treatment at Home

At home, you will fill the trays with the gel and wear them for about 30 to 45 minuets a day. The tray helps ensure even results across your teeth, and also prevent your saliva from diluting the strength of the gel. The total treatment time will depend on the cause and extent of your discoloration, but usually falls between a week and ten days. The trays and leftover gel are the yours to keep for future touchups in the coming months. For many, teeth could be brightened by several shades, and the system is designed to help prevent tooth sensitivity, a common complication of store-bought strips.

Keeping Smiles Bright

To keep your new results strong, we suggest cutting back on beverages with dark pigments, or foods and drinks high in sugar, which stain the teeth and promote plaque buildup. You should also brush and floss daily, and see us every six months for a cleaning, so we can remove all plaque and tartar buildup thoroughly, and then polish the teeth. If you have permanent teeth stains, which form underneath the outer enamel and may be out of reach of most teeth whitening treatments, we could also help by masking your stains using dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or a combination of the two. If you have any questions about how we remove stains and improve the beauty of your smile, then contact our team today.
