Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening Services in San Diego
At a time when looks are so important, we know why the appearance of your smile can be a big cosmetic concern. After all, who doesn’t want white, shiny teeth? Unfortunately, maintaining a bright smile with fresh, “pearly whites” is getting harder and harder these days. With all the coffee and sugar-laden foods and drinks we have available to us, our mouths are much more susceptible to discoloration. And over-the-counter methods only do so much.
Thankfully, Dental Express in San Diego, CA, can help you address this concern with professional teeth whitening. There are plenty of over-the-counter teeth whitening options, but our dental practice offers professional teeth whitening products that the drugstore brands can only hope to compete with.
Our permanent teeth whitening treatments can brighten your teeth by several shades and help you maintain your results. We use professional-strength gels that work to reach beneath the surface of your teeth and remove deep stains. If you’re looking to freshen up your smile and attain a whiter, brighter look, give us a call at one of our laser teeth whitening San Diego area dental offices to schedule a consultation and learn more.
Types of Teeth Whitening
Dental Express, serving numerous locations throughout San Diego, is proud to offer two popular teeth whitening options for men and women. Based on your specific aesthetic goals and lifestyle, you can choose to have your teeth whitening occur directly inside our office or in the comfort of your own home. We offer Speed Teeth Whitening and Boost Teeth Whitening for sensitive teeth to help you achieve your results.
Speed Teeth Whitening Kit
For convenience, we offer at-home teeth whitening with our Speed Teeth Whitening kits. Patients can stop by and pick up a Speed Teeth Whitening Kit, which includes four gel applications, trays, and an LED light. Generally, patients are thrilled with their results. In just 20 minutes, you’ll typically see a noticeable difference! In some cases, you might need multiple kits to see the full results. In addition to your biannual exams and healthy oral hygiene at home, Speed Teeth Whitening kits will help you get that whiter and brighter smile you’ve always wanted.
Boost Teeth Whitening
Additionally, we conveniently offer in-office Boost Teeth Whitening treatments. Usually, we can complete treatments during a quick and painless one-hour session. Before we start applying the whitening gel, we’ll help you choose the best shade for your teeth and then begin the treatment. While relaxing in our treatment chair, one of our dentists will apply the gel to your teeth. Afterward, you’ll notice a significant difference.
Is Teeth Whitening For You?
Before opting for a professional whitening treatment, you and your dentist should work together to make sure you have a healthy mouth. If you struggle with cavities or gingivitis, it’s essential to get those issues under control first. The whitening process could create more problems depending on your current oral health, so stay on top of your regular dentist visits and oral care regimen at home.
When contemplating the pros and cons of professional-strength vs. over-the-counter whitening solutions, we ask patients to think about their goals. If your smile has been white your whole life and only recently is starting to yellow, a grocery store purchased product might create great temporary results. If your teeth have darker stains, you might be a good candidate for in-office professional Boost Teeth Whitening or our take-home Speed Teeth Whitening kit at Dental Express. For patients who want the in-office Boost Teeth Whitening treatments and a way to maintain the results, we can also provide custom-made trays, which can be used in conjunction with our whitening sessions.
