Commonly referred to as bleaching, teeth whitening in Newport Beach, 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.

In Office Teeth Whitening in Newport Beach 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 Newport Beach 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.

How does professional teeth whitening differ from over-the-counter whitening?

Professional teeth whitening and over-the-counter whitening differ in terms of potency, the length of treatment, and the cost. The former uses stronger agents and is done by dental professionals while the latter is weaker and can be done in your home. Professional whitening is more expensive but the results are quicker and longer lasting.

Who is suitable for teeth whitening?

A suitable candidate for teeth whitening will have healthy teeth and gums and is aiming to improve their smile by removing surface stains caused by food, drink and aging. People with discoloration caused by medications or dental procedures may not see significant results. Those with severe tooth sensitivity, gum disease, cavities or other dental issues should consult a dental professional before undergoing teeth whitening procedures.

Will teeth whitening alter the color of my crowns, fillings, or veneers?

Teeth whitening affects only your natural teeth and not dental restorations such as crowns, fillings, or veneers which are made of materials that do not respond to whitening agents and will stay the same color. If the restorations are visible when smiling you may need to replace them after whitening. It is best to consult with a dental professional to discuss the best options for you.
