Teeth whitening at Dentist 4 Uninsured, performed in our professional dental setting, is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. It is also one of the most economical cosmetic dental procedures available. Depending on the method you choose, the results can be remarkable. For instance, in-office whitening can lighten your teeth by three to eight shades in just one hour.​

​

Professionally supervised teeth whitening is faster and offers better protection for sensitive gums and tooth-root surfaces than over-the-counter products. Before starting any whitening process, it's crucial to have an oral exam at our Lancaster, CA office to ensure that your tooth discoloration isn’t due to an underlying dental condition that needs treatment.

​

Be cautious of having whitening solutions applied by untrained personnel in shopping malls, as this can be risky. If you have any questions about which whitening method is best for you, please consult with us first.

​Professional whitening from Dentist 4 Uninsured makes use of high-concentration bleaching gels that are not available over the counter.

In-Office Whitening: This method delivers the fastest results using the most potent whitening solutions available. To begin, your gums and tooth-root surfaces are covered with a protective barrier for safety. A retractor, a thin plastic device, holds your lips and cheeks away from your teeth while a professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel is applied. The gel remains on your teeth for about an hour. Once removed, you'll notice the immediate improvement in whiteness.

​

Take-Home Whitening: This is another effective option for whitening your teeth, though it requires a more active role from you and may take several weeks to reach your desired level of whiteness. First, a mold of your teeth is taken to create two custom-made, flexible plastic trays—one for your top teeth and one for the bottom. You will fill these trays with whitening gel and wear them over your teeth for about an hour each session.

Caring for Your Whitened Smile

​

To ensure your bright smile lasts as long as possible, follow these care tips:

  1. Maintain Daily Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth clean and free from stains. Use a whitening toothpaste if recommended by your dentist.

  2. Regular Dental Visits: Keep up with your bi-annual professional cleanings and check-ups at the dental office. This helps in removing surface stains and keeping your teeth in optimal health.

  3. Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Limit your intake of red wine, tea, coffee, and other foods and beverages that can stain your teeth. When you do indulge, consider using a straw to minimize contact with your teeth.

  4. Quit Smoking: Smoking can quickly discolor your teeth. If you smoke, use your new, brighter smile as motivation to quit. This will not only benefit your smile but also your overall health.

  5. Touch-Ups: Occasionally, you may need to do minor touch-ups to maintain your whitened teeth. These can be done at home with a whitening product or during a quick visit to the dental office.

  6. Use a Mouthguard: If you grind your teeth at night, consider using a mouthguard to protect your teeth and maintain their appearance.  

 

By following these tips, you can enjoy a radiant, white smile for many years.
