A renewed smile and outlook on life, courtesy of teeth whitening you can trust

Teeth Whitening Process in Beverly Hills CA Area

White teeth are equated with vigor, youth, and overall beauty. Teeth may naturally darken over time due to our habits (smoking) or diet (from coffee to wine), or simply due to the march of time – the natural aging process. Fortunately, your specialists in Beverly Hills, California, Drs. Frank Vidjak and Fanny Yacaman, can restore the color of your teeth. So, your smile exudes confidence and health. Teeth whitening or other cosmetic or restorative treatments may be in your future, depending on what we find during a consultation at Beverly Hills Advanced Specialties of Dentistry.

The all-important consultation

As noted, many factors are responsible for teeth that have lost their “luster.” In addition to habits, nutrition, and aging, “stained” teeth may indicate problems that require restorative treatment; for instance, areas of brown, black, or gray discoloration may be untreated cavities. This form of decay requires treatment, such as fillings. All cosmetic or elective treatments must be administered to healthy teeth and gums. Patients with oral health problems, such as tooth decay or gum disease, must resolve those conditions with appropriate therapies. We are committed, first and foremost, to your health. And healthy mouths typically support beautiful smiles!

Moving forward with teeth whitening

Dental professionals generally have access to two different whitening techniques. These options include:

In-office “power” whitening – A highly-concentrated, peroxide-based whitening gel is applied to teeth by your dentist. The gel is applied precisely and evenly, with precautions being taken before application to assure the surrounding tissues do not come in contact with the bleaching ingredients. Patients can enjoy many shades of whiter smiles within one visit!
Home whitening with custom trays – Oral appliances (“whitening trays”) are made from models of patients’ mouths. These custom trays are filled with potent, clinically proven effective, and safe whitening formulations. Once the tray is filled with the gel, it is inserted into the patient’s mouth and worn as instructed by the dental provider. Teeth gradually appear whiter when worn consistently and as directed over the course of treatment (days or weeks).
