Tips on Teeth Whitening

By Arthur Kezian

Whitening the teeth is one of the most popular services when it comes to dental health. Most people find that they suffer from teeth that are no longer white and normally use different remedies to get them back to their natural color or simply obtain whiter teeth. The bleaching services offered in Los Angeles have proven to be effective and safe compared to the whitening agents that were used in the past.

It is important to know that the end result of your whitening procedure may depend on the cause of the discoloration, the bleaching agent used in the treatment and the competence of the dentist in taking care of your case. People seeking these services should not have excessively high expectations as this has been the root cause of disappointment for many people.

When searching for teeth whitening services, it is very important to know whether you have fillings that are any other color besides white. They tend to remain the same color even after bleaching. This means that you may need to have the fillings replaced to match the new color of your teeth instead of matching the color that was there before the bleaching. This may cost you an extra amount of money and it helps to be aware of this before the procedure is done so as to avoid being caught unaware.

Other parts of the teeth that do not change color with bleaching include porcelain crowns and restorations that are located on the different teeth. They also may need to be replaced. The other thing that should be noted when investigating teeth whitening procedures is that it is not advisable to have this procedure done if you suffer from sensitive teeth. This is because the whitening agents tend to further increase the sensitivity of the teeth. It is necessary to address the sensitivity issues first. Once you have solved the sensitivity problem, you can proceed with the bleaching treatment.

After selecting the dental clinic from which you want to receive your teeth whitening procedure, ensure that the dentist handling your case explains all the techniques, advantages and disadvantages as well as the expectations you should have for each procedure. Always choose the services of a good dentist who is experienced and has been trained and certified by the appropriate professional organization.

Teeth whitening additionally strives to keep you healthy by emphasizing preventive dental care and treating smaller problems before they become serious ones. Dr. Arthur Kezian specializes in Cosmetic dentistry, Implant dentistry, Dental Veneers, Dental Implants and Emergency Dentistry.
