Commonly referred to as bleaching, teeth whitening in Irvine, California is a process that will restore teeth to their whitest shade. Patients have the option of in-office or at-home teeth whitening to brighten stained, discolored, or dull teeth. Teeth whitening is one of the simplest and safest cosmetic dental procedures available. In-office and at-home treatment methods both offer a solution to coffee stains, cigarette and tobacco discolorations, and an otherwise yellow appearance to the teeth.

Teeth whitening is a simple, fast, and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. Art of Dentistry offers to options to professional teeth whitening in Irvine, CA:

In Office Teeth Whitening in Irvine CA

We at Art of Dentistry Institute offer the Zoom! Chairside Teeth Whitening System, also known as laser teeth whitening. This procedure involves placing whitening gel on the teeth, which is activated with heat from a laser. In just 45 minutes, your teeth will become up to eight shades whiter.

Clinical studies have shown that laser teeth whitening under the supervision of a dental professional is very safe. Though side effects with this treatment are rare, some patients may experience tooth and gum sensitivity following treatment. Your dentist will be at your side during the procedure to monitor your sensitivity.

Results with Zoom! are long lasting, but consistent consumption of beverages that stain teeth may cause the teeth to become discolored again. We recommend brushing twice daily and flossing to maintain your whitest smile.

At Home Professional Teeth Whitening in Irvine CA

Art of Dentistry Institute can provide you with a custom-fitted mouth tray containing prescription strength whitening gel. This can be worn for about an hour per day in the comfort of your own home. Significant results will be apparent after about two weeks of consistently wearing the trays. This method is just as safe as laser teeth whitening and also provides long-lasting results.

For stains that cannot be addressed with either method of teeth whitening, porcelain veneers are an alternative option to disguise discolored teeth.

Do professional teeth whitening procedures and over-the-counter whitening solutions differ from one another?

Yes, professional teeth whitening procedures and over-the-counter whitening solutions differ in terms of strength, duration, and cost. Professional teeth whitening procedures use stronger products and are performed by dental professionals, while over-the-counter solutions are weaker and can be done at home. Professional procedures are more expensive but provide quicker and longer-lasting results.

Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?

A good candidate for teeth whitening has healthy teeth and gums, and is looking to improve the appearance of their teeth by removing surface stains that are caused by food, drink, and natural aging processes. People with discoloration due to medications or dental procedures may not see significant results from teeth whitening. People with severe tooth sensitivity, gum disease, cavities, or other dental problems should consult with a dental professional before undergoing teeth whitening.

Does teeth whitening change the color of my crowns, fillings, or veneers?

Teeth whitening will typically only affect your natural teeth and not dental restorations such as crowns, fillings, or veneers. These restorations are made of materials that do not respond to teeth whitening agents and will remain the same color. If the restorations are visible when you smile and you would like a more uniform appearance, you may need to replace them after whitening. It’s best to consult with a dentist to discuss the options best for you.
