Teeth Whitening - North Hollywood, CA

Teeth will darken over time. Changes in the color of your teeth can be caused by anything from the food and beverages consumed (like coffee, tea and soda), childhood medications or illnesses, tobacco use, trauma, and of course, improper oral hygiene.   For those who are looking for a brigher and whiter smile, Canyon Family Dentistry is happy to offer teeth whitening in North Hollywood.  The teeth whitening services at our North Hollywood office are designed to remove discoloring from years of stains that have built up on your teeth.  Our teeth whitening treatments can give you back the fresh, white smile that you’ve been missing.  We provide several options for teeth whitening and will make recommendations on a case by case basis.

Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth.  The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically.  Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc.  Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.

Tooth whitening is not permanent.  A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.

Reasons for tooth whitening:

      Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
      Normal wear of outer tooth layer.
      Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
      Yellow, brown stained teeth.

What does tooth whitening involve?

This type of tooth whitening usually requires two visits.  At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear plastic, trays.

At your second appointment, you will try on the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary.  The trays are worn with special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening.  It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching.

You will receive care instructions for your teeth and trays, and be encouraged to visit your dentist regularly to help maintain a beautiful, healthy, white smile.
