Teeth Whitening / Tooth Whitening

Modesto, Manteca, Ceres, Turlock, Salida, Ripon, California Dentist

 

Most people do not naturally have pearly white teeth. Generally, teeth are a tint of white, but the vast majority fall short of the iconic white smile that personifies health, youth and beauty. At Sierra Dental Care we understand that some teeth need a little help to achieve the bright appearance that others seem to have naturally.

 

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

 

At-home teeth whitening kits are popular today, but if you read the fine print on the label, there are some hang-ups to what might otherwise seem like a more economical way to achieve the same result. Most at-home teeth whitening kits have disclaimers stating that they:

• Have no affect on the color of composite or porcelain
• May cause tooth sensitivity
• May not reach all areas of your teeth
• Require multiple applications

 

Following directions on some at-home teeth whitening kits, you will devote an hour every day for two weeks to whitening your teeth. That is fourteen hours, just to whiten your teeth a few shades. The process is a long one, and it may only brighten your smile slightly. Additionally, at-home teeth whitening kits cannot reach the edges where your teeth meet, often leaving the gaps between your teeth looking darker than the front.

 

In contrast, professional tooth whitening:

• Is completed in one visit
• Offers a noticeable difference in a single treatment
• Is less likely to cause tooth sensitivity
• Will affect the entire surface of your teeth, not just the front

Procedure

 

At Sierra Dental Care, we offer our patients teeth whitening by the Rembrandt Whitening System. Unlike UV lights, which could potentially be harmful, the Rembrandt system uses a high intensity sapphire light that does not produce potentially hazardous UV light.

 

We have been using the Rembrandt system with our tooth whitening patients for many years, and our experience has shown the Rembrandt system to provide consistent results. The procedure is completed in one visit, and you will leave with a noticeably whiter, brighter smile.
