If you've considered brightening your smile with professional teeth whitening, you probably have questions—and we hope you do! At Cabrillo Family Dental Care, our goal is to help you make educated decisions about your smile and dental health.
So, today, we're answering common questions about teeth whitening. We want you to feel informed and confident about your decision to whiten your teeth.
How Long Does Professional Teeth Whitening Take?
Cabrillo Family Dental Care makes custom whitening trays using impressions of your teeth. You can use these at home at your convenience. We recommend starting with 30 minutes a day for 10 to 14 days or until you achieve your desired results. While everyone's needs differ, most of our patients achieve their goals during that time frame.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
While we use high-strength whitening gel to achieve quick results, the formula is also designed to reduce tooth sensitivity and other common problems associated with teeth whitening, making it extremely safe for your smile.
Whitening under the supervision of your dentist in Pacifica is always advised. If you encounter any problems, we can address them immediately.
How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?
Professional bleaching gels use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down surface tooth stains, ultimately leaving you with whiter, brighter teeth. Our high-strength whitening gel delivers results that tend to last longer than over-the-counter bleaching products.
When you use our customized take-home bleaching trays, you'll always have them to update your smile at home as needed in the future before a vacation or significant event.
