Common Questions About Teeth Whitening

What are my options for tooth whitening?
Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Sands offers two options for whitening your teeth:
- Zoom! System
- At-home teeth bleaching kits
The Zoom! System whitens teeth in one office visit that takes about 60 minutes. The treatment itself takes about 45 minutes. The remaining time is used for preparation and a little post-procedure monitoring, as well as showing you how to use the follow-up kit. The Zoom! System shines a special light directly onto your teeth to activate the gel. The gel then releases oxygen into the tooth enamel, which breaks up the pigment molecules that are staining your teeth. The resulting short chain molecules do not have a dark color.
The at-home teeth bleaching kits use trays that we will have made for you to fit comfortably and snugly over your teeth. The bleaching kits we provide are more effective than over-the-counter kits. They can also be used after the Zoom! System if you wish to whiten your teeth even more. However, since the Zoom! System includes a take-home kit for maintaining your new bright color, you would not need a separate at-home kit.
Why should I whiten my teeth?
Tooth whitening is one of the best cosmetic dentistry procedures to improve the overall appearance of your smile. Whiter teeth not only brighten your smile, they brighten your entire face. Healthy, white teeth look younger and thus help to take years off your appearance. Tooth whitening is a safe, easy, and affordable cosmetic dentistry proceudre that will help improve your smile’s appearance and health.
