Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic service offered at Loberg Professional Dental Corporation. Our practice offers two options that can be used to brighten the smile – our Zoom! power bleaching that is done in-office and our Opalescence whitening that is performed by patients in their own home.
Opalescence Take-Home Whitening Our take-home whitening solution is a wonderful way for patients to brighten their smiles in the privacy of their own home each day until they achieve the results they desire. The kits have custom-made trays fabricated from impressions of the dental arch that fit precisely over the teeth and provide coverage with the included professional-strength whitening gel, which is used every day. The results are gradual but noticeable, and patients can keep their trays for touch-ups as necessary.
Other patients want immediate results, which is when we recommend Zoom! power bleaching. This method is done in-office and patients can leave the practice two hours later with a brilliant smile! Zoom! power bleaching often costs more than our take-home kits but the results are achieved the same day.
Many patients want to know if teeth whitening is painless. It is! Patients in the Laguna Hills area who visit Loberg Professional Dental Corporation will be pleased to enjoy their whitening results without discomfort. Using these professional treatments will reduce or even eliminate any sensitivity patients often experience with the over-the-counter treatments, making the entire process a joy! Patients considering either our take-home whitening kits or our in-office power bleaching are welcome to make a phone call to our practice and ask about each solution and which is best for them. Some patients may not be considered appropriate candidates for professional whitening because of restorations that may be in the smile.
For example, patients with porcelain veneers, bridges, dentures, or crowns may not be a viable candidate unless they consider replacing the restorations. This is because the porcelain used to fabricate these repairs will not be affected by the whitening solution, and if they were made to match the natural color of the tooth enamel, they will stand out after the whitening procedures. If patients are serious about committing to their whitening program, they can have restorations replaced to match after they have achieved the results they desire.
