Teeth Whitening Treatment Near Me, Chula Vista CA

Teeth whitening treatments are common but most people don’t get them right. It is best to have teeth whitening treatments done by your dentist. If you prefer at-home treatments, ask your dentist for advice. Teeth whitening treatments are meant to brighten your teeth and remove teeth discoloration largely caused by food & drink.

When it comes to teeth whitening treatments, you have two options; In-office treatments and home treatments.

In-office treatments use stronger bleaching solutions and usually have a higher impact compared to home treatments.

You can buy home treatments over-the-counter but it is best to follow a prescription from your dentist.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office treatments can brighten your teeth three to eight shades depending on the type of stains. Yellow stains are easier to treat than brown stains. Dentists use stronger bleaching solutions but they don’t damage your teeth.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Here are common home treatments;

Tooth whitening strips and gels – These are applied daily directly to the teeth as though you are brushing. After about 4 months of usage, you start noticing results.

Tray-based tooth bleaching systems – Tray-based treatment involves wearing a tray over your teeth that looks like a mouthguard. The tray is filled with bleaching agents that work on your teeth.

Tooth whitening toothpaste – A tooth whitening toothpaste has a higher abrasion compared to normal toothpaste. These kinds of toothpaste improve your teeth’ color slightly by one or two shades.
