Costa Mesa Teeth Whitening

Are there any side effects to teeth whitening?
One quick, easy way to improve the appearance of your smile is by having your teeth whitened. If you’ve dreamed of a whiter, brighter smile, teeth whitening is the perfect way to get it. No matter which bleaching method you choose – either at the dentist's office or by using at-home bleaching trays – you can benefit from a gorgeous smile!

At Smiles4OC Comprehensive Dentistry, our practice thrives on happy patients. Teeth whitening is an easy, affordable way for our patients to get the smiles they've always wanted. We offer two different techniques. In-office laser whitening is great for patients who want a brighter smile quickly, for convenience or for a special event. Or, we can work with you to develop a customized at-home routine so you may whiten in the privacy of your own home. Both options are effective in brightening smiles, results are long-lasting, and the treatments are very affordable.

What about side effects? Are there risks associated with whitening your teeth?

The only potential side effect of a professional in-office laser bleaching is that a patient may experience short-term sensitivity. The bleaching solution can cause tooth enamel to become more porous, and sometimes leads to slight sensitivity to heat and cold. However, by carefully protecting your gums and soft tissues, and adding desensitizing ingredients to the bleaching solution, we minimize your risk of temporary sensitivity.

With at-home kits (especially the over-the-counter variety) the bleaching agents can burn the gums or over-bleach the teeth if not used properly. It is essential to follow your dentist's instructions. We provide our patients with at-home bleaching trays comprehensive instructions and education on what to do (and not do) while bleaching their teeth. This ensures that the system is safe and effective.

Controlled in-office treatments and closely following directions when completing in-home bleaching allow you to dramatically decrease the likelihood of any side effects or risks associated with teeth whitening.

Testimonials
"Dr. Rolfes and his staff are fantastic. I was referred to them from a friend and it's been the best dental decision I've made. They keep me consistently well-informed and make me feel comfortable; even through my unnerving dental procedures.

You can't go wrong going to their offices."
