What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a procedure that is done to improve the coloration and appearance of your teeth. There are many different types of teeth whitening treatments, including treatments that you may see in the store, such as Arc Teeth Whitening or whitening strips.

Teeth whitening at your dentist is a type of cosmetic dentistry since it is almost always focused on fixing the aesthetics of your teeth. It is used to get rid of staining or discoloration on your teeth. While teeth whitening is mostly for aesthetics, it can help improve your health since it can help you boost confidence and lower stress.

Food and drinks, including coffee, tea, wine, and other alcoholic beverages.
Other diseases or disorders, such as acid reflux.
Tobacco and nicotine products.
Some genetic disorders can cause discoloration.
Age, because as you get older, you are more susceptible to teeth staining from lifestyle choices or food and beverages.

Stopping these lifestyle choices, improving your diet, or seeing a doctor for other underlying disorders can help prevent teeth staining. However, to remove any current teeth staining, you should visit your dentist for teeth whitening.

Types of Teeth Whitening Services

Teeth whitening can be done at home, but it is best to get it done at your dentist. At-home teeth whitening can be dangerous and even damage your teeth. Redondo Beach teeth whitening services are safe, reliable, and always done with the best technology. We have four different types of teeth whitening.

Teeth Polishing

Teeth polishing is often a standard procedure done during your teeth cleaning appointments. However, teeth polishing can be done as a tooth whitening procedure outside of your routine appointment.

Teeth polishing consists of your dentist first examining your teeth and ensuring that there is no decay or other damage that needs to be addressed. Then, your dentist scrapes plaque and tartar off your teeth to clean the surface. This can begin to help remove staining.

Next, your teeth are cleaned further with a type of polish that is abrasive and whitens your teeth the rest of the way. Often, your teeth are then covered with a type of fluoride to keep them clean and shiny.

Microabrasion

Microabrasion is a way to whiten your teeth without using any chemicals or bleach that are used in other treatments. During the microabrasion treatment, your dentist will use high-tech tools and an abrasive paste to remove plaque, tartar, and other stains on your teeth.

Your dentist will rub the surface of your teeth with a special tool and abrasive paste, which removes the layers of your enamel that are stained. Your teeth are then rinsed and the process is repeated until your teeth are perfectly white.

Occasionally, the process may require minor at-home whitening treatments afterwards. Microabrasion treatments can be permanent if you take care of your teeth properly afterwards.

Teeth Bleaching

Bleaching is a procedure that is done in your dentist’s office to whiten your teeth. At Redondo Beach Dental Center, we use a special type of bleach that will not damage your teeth during the whitening process.

The teeth bleaching process requires your dentist placing a bleaching solution on your teeth after cleaning them. The bleach is left on for anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour. Your dentist may repeat this over several sessions to ensure your teeth are perfect. This is a great procedure to do if you are looking for a whitening process that lasts up to a few years with proper care.

In-Office Whitening Gels

In-office whitening gels are a whitening solution that is applied by your dentist during your appointment. This guarantees that the solution will not damage your teeth and is applied correctly.

In-office whitening gels may use similar solutions to over-the-counter gels but are safer for your teeth. These gels usually utilize hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to whiten your teeth. In-office whitening gels may require multiple appointments and may need to be reapplied throughout the years. It is not as permanent as some other treatments but is quicker and cheaper.

Teeth Whitening at Redondo Beach Cost

Teeth whitening treatment pricing ranges depending on the type of service you choose. The treatments vary depending on the longevity of the treatment and the difficulty of application.

Since teeth polishing can be done during a routine appointment and is not too complicated, it typically ranges from $75-$200, with the average treatment priced around $100. Teeth bleaching is more expensive because it may require multiple appointments and a special solution. This can range from around $300 to as much as $1,000, depending on the treatment.

In-office whitening gels have a wide range of costs depending on the treatment, ranging as low as $75, like other treatments, and as high as upwards of $800, like teeth bleaching. Microabrasion is a mid-range service. It costs around $75-$200. Questions? Our helpful staff is here to help.
