As the field of cosmetic dentistry continues to evolve, one of the first questions that many patients ask is which procedures are safe, and which have the potential to cause damage. This is especially true for the countless millions that have their teeth professionally whitened every single year in order to remove external staining and discoloration. Here is a look at the safety of teeth whitening, and the steps that our Los Angeles cosmetic dentist takes in order to keep our patients as healthy and happy as possible.

For many years, the only options for teeth whitening involved harsh chemicals that would often remove or damage the outer layer of the teeth. Over time, this could mean expensive restorative treatments, sensitivity to extreme temperatures, or even ongoing pain. With the new Zoom whitening system that is now offered by our dental practice, many of these concerns are now a thing of the past.

We use a highly-regulated formula that was designed to be as non-abrasive as possible. We also utilize a powerful light during treatment that reduces the amount of time that the whitening solution is left on the teeth. In the end, this means a more effective whitening treatment without the risk of damaging the enamel or gums.

If you would like to see if this whitening treatment may be right for you, contact our office today, and take your first step towards a bright, vibrant new smile that you will be proud to show off every single day.
