Teeth Whitening is Most Prevalent Means to Natural, Bright Teeth

Teeth whitening has become a very popular cosmetic dentist choice in recent years. More and more people are seen with perfect, “Beverly Hills” smile. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, advises his patients to choose the in-office Zoom2! Whitening System, for its effectiveness and speed.

Advertising for teeth whitening products can be seen most everywhere you look, and there are many products on the market, all claiming to give you the brightest possible smile. While tooth whitening has been around for a long time, today’s professional teeth whitening methods are safe, fast, and produce wonderful results. So, what are the advantages of having your teeth professionally whitened by a cosmetic dentist?

For starters, at-home products contain a much lower strength bleaching agent. They are hydrogen peroxide bases, and cannot be sold over the counter in high concentrations. In-office, professionally applied tooth whitening products contain a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide, making them faster and much more effective. The quickest professional teeth-whitening method uses light therapy to speed up the bleaching action. Dr. Maddahi does this procedure in his office using the Zoom! chairside whitening system. He explains, “The combination of bleaching gel with the special light can lighten teeth up to ten shades in about an hour, with results that can last for a few years. Zoom! whitening is an effective way to make a dramatic change in someone’s appearance in a very short amount of time.”

As an alternative, home bleaching kits can be purchased from the dentist, which require periods of daily use for up to ten days. The advantage of choosing a tooth whitening kit from the dentist versus the over-the-counter type is that it will come with a stronger bleaching solution, as well as a customized mouth tray that is fitted for you.

The ADA approves dentist-supervised home kits, but it does not recommend over-the-counter kits. Over-the-counter tray whitening kits are one-size-fits-all and often do not fit properly. An improperly fitting tray can be very uncomfortable, and also causes the gums to come into contact with the bleaching agent, which can cause pain and sensitivity over time. These products may make your teeth a few shades lighter, however there is time involved, and with messy and uncomfortable trays, a person may not use them for the recommended length of time. Often, the whiter, more youthful smile desired is not achieved with over-the-counter products.

Dr. Maddahi explains, “In the office setting, the gum tissues are carefully protected before the whitening treatment, so that the bleaching chemicals and the laser light only come into contact with the surface of the patient’s teeth.” He continues, “The Zoom! whitening product is applied directly to the teeth once all the soft tissues have been carefully covered. The Zoom! light is then directed at the bleaching gel to accelerate the whitening.”

Visiting Dr. Kourosh Maddahi’s office for your teeth whitening is a very comfortable experience. The spa-like setting he provides, as well as the one-on-one attention from a highly skilled and well-renowned Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, makes going to the dentist an experience like it has never been before. In-office bleaching provides the quickest and most effective way to whiten teeth. Dramatic results are seen in just one visit.
