Summer is right around the corner. It’s a time to get together with family and friends, travel, and reunite. A whiter smile that you’re proud of adds to these priceless memories.

Professional teeth whitening in Downey, CA, is a way to remove stubborn tooth stains and discoloration from the teeth under the direction of your dentist. When brightening your smile, it’s always better to do so with a dental professional!

When you use kits purchased on the Internet or drugstore systems, you can’t be sure they’re right for your smile. At best, you can finish treatment with lackluster or uneven results. At worst, you can damage your enamel and suffer long-term tooth sensitivity. When you whiten with a dentist, they ensure your teeth and gums are in shape for the specific ingredients.

Our Professional Teeth Whitening Options

We offer in-office teeth whitening and a convenient take-home option.

We complete in-office whitening during one dental visit. This is the best course if you have an event just around the corner.

Take-home teeth whitening is a custom kit created by your dentist. Typically, achieving maximum results takes up to two weeks, provided you follow the dentist’s instructions. In most cases, you only need to wear your whitening trays for 30 minutes daily. This is the right option if you have an event next month or in the coming weeks.  

Maintaining Your ResultsWoman framing her smile after teeth whitening, downey ca

Teeth discolor for a variety of reasons, including:

  • As a part of aging
  • Certain medications
  • Lifestyle choices (including tobacco use)

We encourage patients to reduce or eliminate tooth-staining foods and drinks like red wine, coffee, curry, bright sauces, and more. If they do partake, be sure to clean their teeth immediately after.

A dental team member can provide custom tips based on your unique case.

Are You Looking for a Whiter, Brighter Smile?

We recommend scheduling a teeth whitening consultation with our cosmetic dentist to get started. Call today to learn more.
