Options for Whiter Teeth

Virtually everywhere we go, we are surrounded by beautiful white smiles. This can cause a lack of self-confidence if you are one of the many Americans who have to hide your smiles because of stains or discolorations. Our cosmetic dentist in Santa Clara offers teeth whitening treatments to help his patients enjoy brighter smiles.

Several options are available if you want a whiter smile, including:

1. OTC whitening products and toothpastes
These products are readily available, but the results are often inconsistent and not nearly as dramatic as most people want. Additionally, they can irritate your gums or leave your teeth feeling sensitive.

2. At-home whitening
Professional at-home kits use stronger bleach formulations than OTC kits, but they are performed under professional supervision and come with a personalized application tray that minimizes the risk of irritation to adjacent soft tissues.

3. In-office whitening
The fastest, most effective whitening treatment available, in-office whitening combines a strong bleaching solution with a special light so that you can leave our office with a smile up to eight shades lighter than it was when you arrived.
