If you are looking for a dentist near 90045 to whiten your teeth, call (310) 641-3414 to schedule an appointment.  When you come in for your teeth whitening dentist visit, we will start by examining your teeth.  As a general dentist, our priority is your oral health, so we want to be sure that you don't have any cavities or infections that require an endodontics treatment prior to getting started.  This will prevent any unnecessary tooth sensitivity.

To start the procedure, we will take a before picture of your teeth and use a shade card to determine how white you want your teeth to get. This is really a personal preference so be sure to select a shade that you feel will look beautiful and natural. Next, we will use a protective lip cream so that your lips are not impacted by the procedure. We will then place a retractor in your mouth that you will bite down on.  This also gives you a place to rest your tongue so that it will be out of the way. During your teeth whitening dentist visit, we will use a gel as the whitening solution that will work to change the appearance of your teeth.  Once it has been applied, a special light will be used to activate the whitening solution for fast and accurate results.  We will use this light for a total of 45 minutes to achieve the desired results and once done, a finishing solution will be applied to your teeth.

The results are dramatic because our solution is professional grade and penetrates below the surface of your enamel to start the process of oxidization.  This is a chemical process that changes how your teeth reflect light, making them appear whiter.  When you whiten your teeth using an at-home solution, the whitening gel is not as strong and will not produce the same level of results. In fact, at-home whitening products can irritate your teeth if overused and this has led to many emergency dentist appointments.

Other dental solutions.

In addition to performing cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening and dental implants, we are also an emergency dentist that can treat damaged teeth, provide you with temporary dentures, and create a long-term plan for restoring them.  If you need TMJ treatments or a pediatric dentist, we can help with that as well.  Whether you are looking for teeth whitening or a family dentist, we invite you to call our Los Angeles dentist office at (310) 641-3414 and schedule an appointment.
