Do your teeth look dull and stained? An easy way to make your teeth look better fast is to invest in professional teeth whitening. Teeth whitening in Oxnard is a safe, effective, easy way to brighten your smile without spending an arm and a leg.
You don’t need to whiten your teeth unless you’re unhappy with your smile.
Teeth whitening is a great idea if you’re getting ready for a special occasion (wedding, prom, dance, graduation, picture day, a job interview, or presentation).
Regular dental cleanings can make your teeth look whiter and brighter. Plaque can make your teeth look yellow and dull. And molecules that stain are attracted to the sticky plaque.
When your hygienist cleans your teeth, they remove the plaque and polish away any surface stains. When your appointment is complete, your teeth look better.
But if you feel like your teeth aren’t as white as they could be, contact your Oxnard cosmetic dentist to discuss your teeth whitening options.
Several things can result in teeth staining, including:
Teeth whitening is a process that eliminates surface discoloration and stains from your enamel. We offer the following professional teeth whitening options.
Zoom is an in-office whitening system.
You come to our office for about a 60-minute visit and you can walk out with your teeth up to eight shades brighter.
How does it work? We start by isolating your teeth so we can protect the delicate soft tissues of your lips, cheeks, and gums.
Then, we place a whitening gel on your teeth and shine an ultraviolet light onto the gel to activate it. We repeat this process four times.
Another option is professional at-home whitening.
We take impressions of your teeth to fabricate custom whitening trays. Once the trays are complete, we’ll deliver them to you and show you how to use them.
When you leave, we’ll provide you with whitening gel and whitening instructions. Patients typically whiten for 30-60 minutes at a time. Start with 30 minutes to see if you develop any sensitivity.
Whiten every day or every other day until you reach your desired results.
Teeth whitening with a professional whitening system provides the following benefits.
Teeth whitening is not supposed to be painful. That said, it can contribute to tooth sensitivity in some people. If you already have sensitivity to cold or acidic foods, whitening gel can increase your sensitivity.
Thankfully, we have some solutions.
Our high-quality, professional teeth whitening gels have been formulated to protect against damage or sensitivity. They come in various strengths, so you can change the strength if you notice any sensitivity.
Additionally, our whitening systems can be provided with desensitizing gel.
With the Zoom system, you can see results within 45-60 minutes.
At-home whitening takes longer. You’ll start to see results within days, but it may take a few weeks to brighten to your desired shade.
Some over-the-counter (OTC) products can provide whitening results. However, professional whitening is preferable for the following reasons.
Some patients aren’t good candidates for professional teeth whitening – at least not right now. If you answer “yes” to any of the following, you’ll probably need to wait a while before whitening your teeth.
The cost of professional teeth whitening depends on the system you choose. Talk to our See Me Smile Dental of Oxnard team for an accurate cost estimate.
Insurance will not pay for teeth whitening as it is a cosmetic procedure.
You don’t have to spend much money to get the smile you’ve always wanted. You don’t have to invest in every cosmetic dental procedure to enjoy the appearance of your smile.
Investing in professional teeth whitening is a safe, cost-effective way to improve how your smile looks. It can give you more confidence to live your life fully and go after your dreams!
