Teeth Whitening Specialist

How do people get yellow teeth?

Many factors contribute to teeth yellowing. Certain medications, the stuff you drink and eat, and your age can all play a role. Surface stains on the enamel of your teeth from drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, can make your teeth look yellow. Smoking and tobacco are also big culprits.

Over time, these surface stains go beneath the enamel to the dentin of your tooth, making the stain even harder to remove.

Is it safe to whiten your teeth?

Absolutely. When you follow product specifications and instructions, whitening your teeth is a harmless process. For reliable, safe results, the team at Oxnard Dentistry provides Zoom whitening treatments. You can choose to have your teeth whitened in just one visit or gradually with a take-home whitening kit.

In either instance, the Zoom whitening solution is not harmful to put in your mouth and on your teeth. The only discomfort you may experience is temporary tooth and gum sensitivity from the bleaching agents.

How does the Zoom in-office procedure work?

A simple Zoom in-office teeth-whitening procedure could make your teeth up to eight shades brighter after just one appointment.* During your appointment, a highly-skilled Oxnard Dentistry team member will fit your mouth with upper and lower dental trays. The trays hold the advanced whitening gel.

Next, your practitioner covers your gums and lips to protect them from the solution. After filling the trays with the bleaching solution, they position a specialized bright light over your teeth. In a single visit, you sit back and relax for three 15-minute blocks while the light and bleach interact to whiten your teeth.

Between these 15-minute treatments, you wait comfortably, and following the final bleaching treatment, your dental expert places a post-treatment gel on your teeth to reduce any sensitivity you might feel. Then you're done. Your teeth are whiter, and your smile is brighter in about two hours.

The Oxnard Dentistry team can also provide take-home teeth-whitening kits for a less immediate approach to whitening teeth over a couple of weeks.
