As the years go by, it’s common for teeth to lose their original brightness and look more yellow or dull.
This happens because the outer layer of the enamel slowly absorbs pigments from foods, drinks, and lifestyle habits. Coffee, tea, soda, red wine, tobacco use, and certain medications can accelerate discoloration and lead to surface and internal stains.
In Camarillo, many individuals seek effective cosmetic solutions to refresh their smile. At Channel Islands Family Dental Office, we provide professional teeth whitening treatments designed to deliver noticeable, natural-looking results while maintaining the health of your enamel.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that lightens the shade of your teeth by applying a whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. This active ingredient penetrates the enamel and breaks down the particles responsible for staining.
Most patients can expect their teeth to lighten by 2 to 3 shades per session, although individual results vary depending on the type of stains and overall dental health.
A brief period of tooth sensitivity during or after treatment is normal and typically disappears within a few hours.
