6/12/2017 0 Comments Process of Teeth WhiteningThe teeth are supposed to be bright and white. Unfortunately, they can obtain extrinsic stains, and become yellowed or darkened over time. This is most often due to the diet and some lifestyle choices. Foods and drinks with intense pigments, such as berries and dark sodas, as well as smoking tobacco products, can lead to staining. Teeth whitening treatments can eliminate dental stains and brighten the teeth.
The process of teeth whitening is fairly simple. It will begin with our cosmetic dentist in North Hollywood cleaning the teeth and getting rid of accumulated debris and plaque. They will then apply a liquid or gel evenly to the teeth. This whitening agent is then activated by a light or laser, which usually remains on for a certain period of time. Each type of whitening treatment is different, and will require varying elements and timing. Zoom whitening, for example, involves keeping a laser on the teeth for three periods of fifteen minutes. Most whitening treatments result in a smile as much as eight shades brighter. Patients who wish to keep their new smile bright should avoid staining foods and drinks. The effects of teeth whitening can last years if properly maintained. Talk to our teeth whitening dentist in North Hollywood to learn more.

If you are not happy with your smile, you may have several options available to fix it. Many patients visit our office with only cosmetic dental flaws that need to be addressed. Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells our North Hollywood dentist bonds to the teeth to cover these cosmetic issues.
Dental veneers offer several benefits. • Many flaws, such as chips, stains, and cracks can be addressed individually with treatments such as fillings, crowns, and whitening. However these treatments can be very costly and time consuming to get in a short period of time. Dental veneers eliminate this process and can be much less expensive. • Porcelain is a material often used in dentistry due to the many benefits it offers. Not only does it look very similar to our natural dental enamel on the teeth, but it is also resistant to stains, so your new smile can stay brighter for longer. • Veneers are known to be easy on the gums, as they are bonded to the teeth and do not rely on the gums for support. • They are also a much less aggressive alternatives to dental crowns. • Veneers can mask a wide variety of cosmetic flaws, such as chips, stains, cracks, crooked teeth, gaps, and more.
