Professional teeth whitening
procedures are safe and effective. Dr. Jamil Alkhoury at
Brentwood Family
Dental offers many cosmetic procedures to improve your smile in Brentwood, CA. While many
over-the-counter teeth whitening products are available, they are less likely to produce the results you
are trying to achieve. Having your dentist whiten your teeth makes you enjoy a brighter smile much
faster.
How long do professional teeth whitening take?
A professional teeth whitening procedure normally takes less than an hour to complete. Your dentist will
gently clean your teeth and apply the teeth whitening solution and blue light to allow it to cure. The
curing process takes about 45 minutes. Your dentist will check your teeth and rinse away any excess
solution. He will provide aftercare instructions so you can better maintain your results.
How long does a professional teeth whitening treatment last?
AThe results of a professional teeth whitening procedure will last for several months if you practice
proper dental care. Avoiding specific foods, beverages, and tobacco products will prevent your teeth from
becoming discolored or dingy-looking. It's also important to brush and floss your teeth daily to ensure
they remain white and bright for as long as possible.
Before and After Actual Patient Results
These are actual patients treated by Dr. Jamil Alkhoury - "Before" and
"after"
results may not occur for all patients.
What things should I avoid to help treatments last longer?
Wine, soft drinks, beets, food dyes, and certain types of medications are the biggest culprits known to
stain and discolor teeth. Tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco, can also
discolor teeth. Prolonged use can result in deep stains that can be difficult to eliminate. The best way
to keep exposure to these products to a minimum is to keep your smile bright.
Are professional teeth whitening treatments messy?
Unlike teeth-whitening systems in the past, new treatments are less messy and produce results much faster.
The Zoom teeth-whitening system uses pre-formed trays and a bleaching solution. A blue light attaches to
the tray to cure the solution and produce the desired results. There are no more messy strips that attach
to your teeth. Remove the tray and rinse your mouth.
Are teeth whitening procedures safe?
Yes! While some people may experience slight discomfort when the solution is applied, the sensation
usually dissipates after the procedure. If it lasts any longer, let your dentist know immediately. There
are several teeth whitening treatments you can try.
Is there anything I have to do at home?
