What is teeth whitening?

Have you noticed that older people tend to have more yellow teeth than younger ones?

This happens because, over time, the dental enamel absorbs pigments from food and drinks, leading to both surface and deeper stains. Soft drinks, coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and even certain medications can accelerate this process.

In a society increasingly concerned with the aesthetics of their smile, many people look for options to whiten their teeth and achieve a brighter, more uniform appearance.

If you are looking for a dentist in Newbury Park to enhance the appearance of your teeth, at Channel Islands Family Dental Office we offer safe and effective professional teeth whitening treatments tailored to your needs.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that makes teeth look whiter and brighter.

The procedure consists of:

Applying a whitening gel, usually based on hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which acts on the tooth surface for a specified period.
When the gel is removed, the tooth color lightens by 2 to 3 shades, resulting in a more radiant smile.

In the hands of a professional Newbury Park dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and effective procedure.

During the process, the pores of the teeth open to remove stains and then close again; that’s why temporary sensitivity to hot or cold foods is common, but it typically disappears a few hours after treatment.

What other whitening methods are popular in Newbury Park?

Some people in Newbury Park often use whitening strips or whitening toothpaste.

Although these methods may provide temporary results, we always recommend consulting a Channel Islands dentist first to ensure these products are suitable and safe for your dental health.

What types of teeth whitening are done in Newbury Park?

Dentists in Newbury Park at our Channel Islands Family Dental Office perform 2 main types of teeth whitening; the choice depends on your needs and preferences.

1. In-office teeth whitening

This is the safest, fastest, and most effective whitening method. In Newbury Park, we ensure this treatment is always performed by a trained dentist:

Initial evaluation: The dentist examines your teeth and gums to ensure you are a good candidate.
Protection: Guards are placed over lips and gums to prevent irritation.
Application of whitening gel: A special gel penetrates the enamel to lighten the teeth. Depending on the brand and peroxide concentration, the application time ranges from 10 to 20 minutes.
Gel activation: Light or laser may be used to accelerate the process and achieve visible results in a single session.
Results and care: At the end, the dentist evaluates the outcome, determines if another session is needed, and provides recommendations to maintain the color longer.

In-office teeth whitening is also useful for darkened teeth due to trauma or root canal treatment.

2. At-home teeth whitening with custom trays

Whitening with custom trays is a safe and effective method, always supervised by a dentist. Although it takes longer than in-office whitening, it is less aggressive and can be done comfortably at home.

Initial evaluation: The dentist checks your teeth and gums to confirm you are a candidate and determine the desired shade.
Tray design: Custom trays are made to fit your teeth perfectly, preventing the whitening gel from touching your gums.
Gel application: At home, you place the whitening gel in the trays and wear them for the time indicated by your dentist, usually 2 to 3 hours daily, depending on the peroxide concentration.
Regular use: The procedure is repeated according to instructions, typically over several weeks, to achieve gradual and safe results.
Follow-up: The dentist monitors progress and makes adjustments if necessary to protect your teeth and gums.

Custom trays prevent gel spills and reduce gum irritation, unlike generic over-the-counter products.

Dentists in Newbury Park carefully evaluate each patient and provide recommendations based on individual needs and expectations. In fact, at our dental clinics, we’ve noticed that many patients benefit from a combination of these two methods, achieving both aesthetic and long-lasting results.
