Rejuvenate Your Smile with Teeth Whitening

Whether you start your morning with a cup of coffee or end your day with a glass of red wine, your food and beverage choices may be dulling the whiteness of your smile. If you're looking to take away years of stains and restore your teeth to their pearly best, Dental Planet in North Hollywood and Valley Glen, CA, has the expertise to make it happen!

What causes teeth discoloration?

In addition to some food and drink, both smoking and age can dull the whiteness of your teeth. If your teeth have small cracks, those crevices can also attract stains.

How does teeth whitening work?

Treatment comes in two forms:

• In-office

During an in-office treatment, your North Hollywood dentists fits a tray filled with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide into your mouth. As the peroxide takes effect, stains will break down and you will have whiter, brighter teeth in as little as an hour. While this occurs, your gums will be shielded from the peroxide with a rubber cover or gel, allowing for the process to be both safe and comfortable.

• At-home

Another option from your North Hollywood dentists is a take-home whitening system. After making a mold of your teeth, your dentists will create plastic trays for your top and bottom teeth. These trays are then filled with a special bleaching gel, and left to be used at your own convenience.

How long will my teeth whitening last?

A professional teeth whitening can last up to three years. In order to keep your teeth white as long as possible, make sure you brush your teeth twice a day with a whitening toothpaste and avoid staining beverages, foods, and tobacco. You will also want to regularly visit your dentists in North Hollywood and Valley Glen, CA, for professional cleanings.
