Why do you need to whiten your teeth?

What does Tarzana Teeth whitening involve?
The very first step in teeth whitening is a preliminary dental checkup. Why? Cavities, gum diseases, sensitive teeth etc. may cause tremendous pain when they are exposed to bleaching agents. To ensure a safe and pain-free procedure, the Tarzana cosmetic dentists will check for signs of teeth decay and periodontal diseases before the procedure starts.
If you have cavities or sensitive teeth, our dentists will advise you of alternate procedures such as veneers and lumineers.
After the checkup, a protective gel is applied on the gum and other soft tissues of the mouth. If the whitening gel touches the gums, tongue or cheeks, it may cause intense pain and even tissue burns.
The next step is to apply the teeth whitening gel to the enamel of the teeth. The gels are made from compounds like hydrogen carbamide and hydrogen peroxide. They work on the basic principle of oxidation. When the stains are oxidized, they disappear. Oxidization also removes dirt and debris present on the surface of the teeth.
A single sitting of bleaching takes about 20 minutes. About 3 sessions of 20 minutes each are required to achieve the desired level of whiteness.
After the teeth whitening procedure, the original color of the teeth is restored. Today’s advanced teeth whitening procedures involve usage of laser to activate the bleaching gel. This produces an even superior result than normal bleaching.
What about over–the–counter bleaching products?
Over-the-counter bleaching kits promise a ‘Hollywood smile’ and many people opt for this very inexpensive option for whitening their teeth. While these products may deliver results, they are often temporary and unsatisfactory. Bleaching trays come in a standard size and may not be the perfect fit for your mouth and teeth. You may end up with uneven bleaching or even worse, over-whitened teeth. You may also have to spend many hours with the bleaching product on the teeth.
The safer, better and more effective alternative is to contact a teeth whitening specialist.
