Rancho Cucamonga Cosmetic Dentist Discusses How at Home and Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments Brighten Dental Enamel
So many patients have the complaint that no matter how often they brush and floss, they can’t achieve the bright and white smile of their youth. Our Rancho Cucamonga cosmetic dentists can brighten your smile since cosmetic teeth whitening is an easy, and effective option to give you the smile you dream of.
Teeth whitening products are a widely popular cosmetic option for patients from all different walks of life. Although these treatments are commonly referred to as “teeth whitening” treatments, they are actually teeth bleaching treatments. They utilize hydrogen or carbamide peroxide to whiten the dental enamel beyond its natural shade. Both professional and at-home whitening treatments work this way, but they have a few very important differences.
● Professional whitening treatments have a much greater concentration of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. This means that they are faster and more effective than the over the counter products available at your local drugstore. For many patients, this is a very important distinction. You will leave our dentist’s office with a whiter smile in just one or two visits. However, you may have to wait for weeks or even months in order to see results with an at-home whitening product.
● Professional whitening is also monitored by a dentist. This means that you can control the level of whitening you desire. Additionally, if you experience any dental sensitivity or gum irritation, your dentist can help you avoid discomfort.
If you have been considering whitening your smile, you will achieve faster and brighter results from working with your dentist rather than trying to do it alone. No matter what decide, it’s very important to discuss your plans with your dentist. Our Rancho Cucamonga cosmetic dentists are here to help! Give us a call today at (909) 786-2609.
