Professional Teeth Whitening in Santa Rosa
The Safe Way to Brighten Your Smile.
Do-it-yourself tooth whitening products are everywhere but in some cases they can strip tooth enamel or cause uneven results. Professional whitening treatment is the safest option for you and your smile.
Beautify Your Smile Without the Wait.
We offer in-office whitening for patients who want to have an immediately whiter smile. This is an ideal option if you want your most beautiful smile in time for an event like a wedding or family photos.
Whiten Your Smile Gently With Less Sensitivity.
If your teeth are sensitive, we offer a supervised at-home whitening product to whiten your smile gently over time, avoiding some of the tooth sensitivity often associated with whitening.
What is the best way to whiten teeth?
There are thousands of products out there that promise to brighten and whiten your smile. While over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments may remove stains or minimally lighten the shade of your teeth, they can’t compare to professional teeth whitening services.
It’s also worth noting that many over-the-counter options are extremely abrasive, and may damage your enamel and irritate your gums. Daily whitening products like toothpaste can also lead to chronic tooth sensitivity.
Our professional teeth whitening in Santa Rosa offers the potential to change the shade of your teeth by several shades safely. We proudly offer both in-office whitening treatments and take-home whitening trays.
Our team will examine your teeth and discuss your concerns in detail to make the best recommendation for your unique goals and needs. With 25 years of experience in professional teeth whitening, we’ll create the perfect plan for you.
How can I whiten my teeth fast?
In office, we use the Opalescence Boost Teeth Whitening System. After just a single session you will have significantly brighter teeth.
Do you use a light as part of the whitening procedure?
No, the light is not necessary and use of a light can dehydrate teeth. The dehydration makes them look lighter for a short period, but there is a rebound effect that makes them look darker in the longer term. The Opalescence Boost system is chemically activated and does not require a light.
What type of at home teeth whitening systems do you offer?
We use Opalescence take-home whitening gel and the Opalescence Go system. Opalescence take-home whitening gel is delivered via custom-made trays and comes in a variety of concentrations. The Opalescence Go system utilizes prefilled disposable trays.
What if I have sensitive teeth?
While higher concentration products will yield faster results, they might not be the right option for patients with sensitive teeth. If you have tooth sensitivity, you may need to whiten your teeth more slowly with the Opalescence gel that utilizes a lower concentration of the whitening agent to achieve the look you desire without irritating your teeth. If you have very sensitive teeth, we also offer desensitizing products to make the whitening process more comfortable.
What if just one tooth has darkened and no longer matches the rest of my teeth?
Internal whitening of individual teeth may be a good option if you. Tooth discoloration sometimes occurs if you had a root canal or damage to the tooth. Dr. McCormick will look at your individual circumstances and present the options that will work best for your needs. In some cases, other cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as a porcelain veneer, may give you a better outcome.
Why should I see a dentist about teeth whitening in Santa Rosa?
Whether you’re interested in professional or over-the-counter whitening, we strongly recommend seeing a dentist before you start any teeth whitening treatments for many reasons.
If you have any dental treatments such as fillings or crowns that show when you smile, they will not respond to whitening treatments. So whitening your teeth may make these treatments appear dark by comparison and make them stand out even more. Your dentist can prepare you for what to expect and how to prevent problems of this kind.
It’s also critical to ensure your teeth are healthy enough for whitening. Applying even mild whitening treatments to teeth that are decayed or damaged could cause more harm. Plus, it can lead to serious pain.
Teeth whitening services that are offered outside of a dental office may not be provided with the proper techniques and safety protocols. Improperly applied whitening products can cause chemical burns to the gums among other issues.
When it comes to your smile, it’s worth seeking out teeth whitening experts with a proven track record.
