Dental Bleaching Kits Are Important to Use Correctly
Following directions for professional teeth whitening in South Pasadena or any bleaching treatment is important.
The enamel of your teeth is extremely important when it comes to the health of your teeth. It is the protective outer layer of your teeth that cannot be replaced. It is also the part of your teeth that is bleached when using any whitening kits. This is why it is important to follow the directions of your bleaching kit, over the counter or professionally provided. No matter which type of whitening treatment you choose, it is always necessary for you to get approval from your dentist to ensure safety. Your teeth may not be in good shape for bleaching, as there can be negative side effects, such as increased sensitivity. If used too frequently, the bleach may damage your tooth or enamel permanently.

A Typical Tooth Whitening Treatment
Professional teeth whitening in South Pasadena takes 1 to 2 visits depending on the type you choose.
Dental bleaching is a process that can take one to two visits depending on the type of whitening you choose. At South Pasadena Dental Group we offer in-office whitening and take-home whitening trays. Our cosmetic dentist’s in-office dental bleaching treatments just require one visit, and have the ability to whiten your teeth up to 8 shades or more in under an hour. The advantages to this type of whitening are significant because in-office whitening is the only bleaching solution that is powerful enough to achieve these results in such a short amount of time. This is possible because the bleaching agent in professional teeth whitening in South Pasadena is much stronger than over the counter options. Also, you are under the supervision of a dental professional, which means it is safer to use. The other option for whitening is our take-home trays. One might confuse take-home trays with over the counter bleaching treatments, but they differ significantly. Like in-office bleaching, take home trays are stronger and safer for you to use. Take-home whitening trays are custom made specifically for you. This option takes two visits to complete. The first appointment is needed to get an impression of your teeth to create the custom fit trays. Your second appointment is when you will try on the trays to ensure proper fit. Once your trays are fitted, you are then equipped with the bleaching solution and trays to take home with you to use until your desired whiteness. This option is great for those who want to whiten their teeth over time in a safe and supervised way.
