Find out when it might be time to turn to the dental professionals for a whiter smile.

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments that our family dentist Dr. Ahmed ElSayed offers in Madera, CA. It seems that everyone wants to get a brighter smile. While there are so many at-home whitening options to help you achieve a brighter smile not all of them are able to effectively remove darker and more stubborn stains. This is where this cosmetic dentistry procedure can help.

Many people turn to in-office teeth whitening because they can sit back while our Madera, CA, cosmetic dentist does all the work. It’s truly the fastest way to get your smile several shades whiter. A single one-hour whitening session could remove those stubborn stains and give you the results you are looking for.

However, in-office whitening does require coming into our office for an hour or more for treatment, and this whitening method is more expensive than other options. Therefore, if you are looking for an effective but budget-conscious whitening treatment that doesn’t require spending a lot of time in the dental chair then our home whitening kit may be the best option for you.

How do professional home whitening kits work?

You won’t be able to find our whitening kits on any drugstore shelf. Besides offering a stronger whitening gel our dentist will also take impressions of your teeth to make custom-fitted whitening trays. Normal commercial whitening kits offer one-size-fits-all trays; however, custom trays ensure that all surfaces of the teeth come in contact with the whitening gel for more even results.

Once your trays have been made, you will come back into the office so that we can give you full instructions on how to use the whitening kit to achieve the best results. Before whitening your teeth each night you will want to brush and floss.

You will typically need to wear your whitening trays 30 minutes a day for two weeks before seeing results. Some whitening trays may be worn overnight. After whitening treatment you will want to avoid food or drinks for at least 30 minutes.

If you are dealing with a dull, yellowing smile in Madera, CA, then it might be time to talk with our dental team to find out if you are an ideal candidate for professional teeth whitening. Call Madera Family Dental Care today to learn more about this cosmetic dentistry procedure.
