Information about Teeth Whitening

Cosmetic dentistry has become increasingly popular in recent years because more and more people want that Hollywood smile. And one of the most sought after treatments is teeth whitening. Your teeth can become dramatically brighter as a result of a teeth whitening treatment, but first, you will need to undergo a dental evaluation from our cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills to make sure you are a good candidate. If you have any underlying cases of tooth decay or gum disease, you will need to get those problems treated first because otherwise, they could interfere with your treatment.

An in-office whitening treatment is regarded as the most successful way to brighten teeth. Our expert in teeth whitening in Beverly Hills can complete the treatment in about an hour, and at the end of it, your teeth will be up to eight shades brighter. Your dentist will apply a hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth, and your gums will be protected with a rubber dam. Your dentist may also prescribe you an at-home whitening kit so that you can whiten your teeth at your own home.

There are also numerous over-the-counter products that can whiten your teeth. These products can be purchased at most pharmacies, and these kits involve very low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. You should use these kits carefully because overusing these strips and gels can seriously damage your enamel. The results can vary from patient to patient, but you should undergo an oral examination before starting a new whitening regimen.
