Let Your Smile Dazzle Into the New Year With Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments are one of the easiest and quickest ways to improve your smile. Even if your teeth are healthy, they are still vulnerable to stains and yellowing over time due to factors like diet, lifestyle, and the natural aging process.
At the Center for Implant & Esthetic Dentistry in Beverly Hills, California, prosthodontist Dr. Ramin Mahallati and our dental team offer cosmetic and restorative dentistry services to improve your oral health so you can start the new year with a perfect smile.
The advantages of professional teeth whitening treatments
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures, and it’s easy to understand why. Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and many Americans of all ages and backgrounds admit to feeling insecure about their teeth. So if you’ve been thinking about investing in cosmetic dentistry, you’re in good company.
However, professional teeth whitening can do more than merely make cosmetic improvements to your smile. A professional whitening treatment can brighten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single treatment.
Dr. Mahallati and our team use professional-grade whitening treatments to protect your teeth and gums from abrasive agents that can make your teeth more susceptible to staining and discolorations in the future.
If you prefer to whiten your teeth gradually in the comfort of your own home, at-home professional whitening is also available.
Is professional teeth whitening right for you?
Everyone deserves whiter, healthier teeth. Professional teeth whitening treatments work best on certain types of stains, like the ones most commonly caused by dietary factors like drinking coffee, tea, or red wine. Known as extrinsic stains, they’re superficial and can be easily removed with professional whitening.
Intrinsic stains (usually brown/gray) result from damage deep inside the tooth and may not respond as well to surface treatments. If you have intrinsic stains or existing dental restorations, porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be a better option for you.
As always, eating a healthy diet, maintaining optimal oral hygiene habits, and practicing preventive care are the most important factors in maintaining a healthy and radiant smile.
Enter the new year with a brilliant smile!
