If you need a confidence boost or you want to look your best for an upcoming event, teeth whitening can help! While brushing your teeth daily will certainly help, professional teeth whitening services can take your smile to the next level.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
There are various types of teeth whitening services. In general, teeth whitening procedures are designed to brighten the color of your teeth and remove stains. Your dental professional will apply a solution to the surface of the teeth to bleach, abrade, or polish the tooth.
These services are best for those who regularly enjoy food or drink that can stain teeth. They also work for those who have genetic or medical conditions that can cause teeth staining. Teeth also begin to naturally darken with age. You may choose to get teeth whitening services if you:
- Regularly drink staining beverages, including coffee, soda, and wine
- Use tobacco or nicotine products
- Often eat sugary or starchy foods
- Have yellow or gray-tinted teeth due to genetics or other factors
What Teeth Whitening Services Are Available at Redondo Beach Dental Center?
Each of these services are offered at the Dental Center of Redondo Beach. They have amazing before-and-after results! Our procedures include teeth polishing, microabrasion, teeth bleaching, and in-office whitening gels.
Teeth Polishing
Teeth polishing procedures are done by a dental hygienist. The surfaces of your teeth are smoothed with tools and a buffing solution. Polishing is great for teeth that have a buildup of tartar. It’s great for maintaining your dental health. However, teeth polishing may not give you the bright white look you’re after, as it is unlikely to completely get rid of staining.
Microabrasion
At the Redondo Beach Dental Center, our microabrasion procedure is used to smooth the surface of your teeth. Smoothing the surface of your teeth will help remove stains or stubborn spots and lighten any lingering yellow or dark coloration. With a smoother surface, your teeth will look bright, clean, and beautiful. Microabrasion creates a noticeable difference in both coloration and the health of your teeth.
Teeth Bleaching
Teeth bleaching is one of the most common types of teeth whitening. Your dental hygienist will apply a bleaching solution to the surface of your teeth to lighten the color. This is mostly used for patients who have stained teeth rather than those who have build-up.
In-Office Whitening Gels
This whitening procedure be similar to whitening procedures that you can get at home. However, in-office whitening gels are stronger and safer for your teeth. If you’ve had trouble with painful tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after bleaching your teeth at home, we encourage you to try in-office whitening gels.
