Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that removes stains & discoloration from teeth to restore them to their natural whiteness. Teeth whitening in Phoenix, AZ, is one of the safest and most popular cosmetic dental procedures. It improves the appearance of your teeth, making them look whiter and brighter. This can be done in the dental office or by the patient at home with a store-bought kit containing whitening solution and customized mouth trays. At West Portland Dental with Dr. Nejad, whitening your teeth is a quick and painless way to improve the appearance of your smile.

Types of Teeth Whitening

An in-office treatment can be done in one visit, which makes this a popular choice among patients. Some people have sensitive teeth or gums that react negatively to the bleaching agents used in at-home kits. For this reason, many prefer whitening procedures performed in the office by a trained professional rather than trying to whiten them at home. The whitening gel used in-office treatment is more potent and concentrated than the gels used in home treatments. This means that the results you achieve are more dramatic than what you would achieve with at-home whitening products. However, these treatments are more expensive and time-consuming than at-home whitening.

At-home whitening kits are a popular option because they are less expensive and require less time than in-office treatments. These kits include customized mouth trays that fit comfortably in your mouth. You fill the tray with the whitening gel and then apply the gel to each tooth in the tray using the syringe included in your kit. These kits offer gradual improvements because the active ingredient in most kits takes several hours or even days to start working. Contact us to learn more!
