Teeth Whitening – Real Patients, Real Results
What are the safest ways to whiten your smile?
At Beachside Smiles, we offer a variety of whitening treatments to suit our patient’s wants and needs.
For instant whitening results, we recommend Zoom in-office teeth whitening. Zoom uses high-grade whitening agents activated by laser light to lift stains and discolorations from your teeth, making them multiple shades lighter in one dental visit.
You can brighten your smile at home using one of our custom whitening kits for more gradual whitening. These kits come with custom whitening trays, professional-grade whitening gel, and detailed instructions on how to use each to get the most from your treatment.
For deeply ingrained stains that don’t respond well to whitening solutions, Dr. Mungcal recommends cosmetic treatments like dental bonding or veneers to restore your smile’s beauty.
Do teeth whitening results last forever?
Unfortunately, no. By practicing good oral hygiene daily and seeing Dr. Mungcal regularly for routine dental cleanings, your smile can retain its brighter appearance for several years. We also recommend limiting or avoiding foods and drinks likely to re-stain your teeth. Your smile will also stay brighter if you quit smoking and stop using tobacco products.
Does teeth whitening contribute to tooth sensitivity?
Not everyone experiences sensitivity after teeth whitening, but it can happen during and after your procedure. When the peroxide in the whitening gel strips the enamel of stains and discolorations, it temporarily weakens your teeth, making them more sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks. Dr. Mungcal recommends brushing with desensitizing toothpaste a week to 10 days before your whitening procedure to reduce sensitivity. As the sensitivity is temporary, you can also avoid hot and cold items for the first few days after your treatment.
