Tooth Whitening Dentistry To Fix Discolored, Dark Or Stained Teeth
At Carmel Heights Dentistry
Tooth
whitening involves the placement of a whitening solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth.
Whitening is a safe, effective and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.
Two whitening methods are available at Carmel Heights Dentistry: Power
Whitening with a Laser, done at our office, and At-Home-Whitening, which
provides for home use (not to be confused with over-the-counter
whitening products available in local
San Diego area drug stores).
The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent
and the time it takes to get effective results. Power whitening usually takes
one visit, while home bleaching may take up to four weeks of regular use.
Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by
cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are whitened.
Please don't hesitate to call Carmel Heights Dentistry at (858) 755-7805 with any questions you may
have about the benefits of tooth whitening for a
whiter smile.
