Teeth Whitening Q&A
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is the term for cosmetic dental treatments that are specially designed to remove teeth discoloration and stains and reveal a lighter, brighter, and whiter color.
You can select from different teeth whitening options. Dr. Ahn can discuss your options during your personal consultation at Ridgecrest Dentistry. You can have your teeth whitened with a take-home whitening kit. Teeth whitening can also be conveniently performed in-office.
Why do teeth become stained over time?
Teeth can become stained or discolored due to various substances and outside factors, including:
- Trauma
- Certain foods and beverages, such as red wine and coffee
- Tobacco
- Medications
- Genetics
- Poor dental hygiene
Diseases like tooth decay can also lead to tooth discoloration over time and erode the enamel of your teeth.
What teeth whitening options can I choose from?
Teeth whitening typically involves special dental chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide that effectively break the stains up into smaller particles, resulting in less concentration of stained color and whiter-looking teeth.
Several teeth whitening options are available, such as:
- Over-the-counter gels
- In-office whitening treatments usually involving laser technology
- Take-home whitening kits and strips
- Whitening toothpastes
Ridgecrest Dentistry takes an evidence-based approach to teeth whitening to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results. Options are:
Custom take-home trays
Dr. Ahn typically takes an impression of your teeth and creates custom trays to hold the whitening agent against your teeth. You wear the whitening gel and your custom trays every day to whiten your teeth. Dr. Ahn can give you specific instructions and details to help you correctly whiten your teeth at home.
