Whether you're preparing for a special event or want to boost your confidence, our teeth whitening services can transform your smile by removing stains caused by coffee, wine, smoking, and more.
How Our Teeth Whitening Treatment Works
Our teeth whitening process is straightforward, safe, and produces immediate results. Here’s how it works:
- Consultation: The treatment begins with a consultation where Dr. Lopez assesses your teeth and discusses your desired outcome.
- Whitening Procedure: During the procedure, a special whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth, then activated by a light to speed up the whitening process. This typically takes about an hour, with results that are instantly noticeable.
- Maintenance Tips: To maintain your bright new smile, we recommend regular dental cleanings and practicing good oral hygiene to help keep surface stains at bay.
Benefits of Professional Whitening Over Store-Bought Kits
While many at-home whitening kits are available, professional teeth whitening offers several key advantages:
- Superior Results: In-office treatments use stronger whitening agents, providing better and faster results compared to over-the-counter products.
- Customized Care: Dr. Lopez customizes the whitening process to your specific needs, ensuring even and natural-looking results.
- Safety and Comfort: Professional whitening minimizes the risk of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, offering a safer experience than many DIY kits.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Teeth whitening is a great choice for most people looking to enhance their smile. It is particularly effective for those with surface stains caused by food, beverages, or smoking. However, it’s important to know that not all discoloration types can be treated with whitening, such as those resulting from certain medications or tooth trauma. Dr. Lopez will evaluate your teeth during your consultation to determine if teeth whitening is the best option for you.
