Teeth Whitening
for a brighter smile
Teeth whitening is an easy way to get a brighter smile.
Teeth whitening is the most requested cosmetic dentistry procedure. Whitening your teeth is a simple way to enhance the appearance of your smile and improve confidence in your teeth.
Our whitening treatments oxidize the enamel of your teeth removing stubborn stains. This is in place of teeth bleaching as many over the counter teeth whitening products can harm gum tissue due to the bleaching process. We offer patients two high tech options for teeth whitening because we know you want to make the right choice for your health and appearance. One option is teeth whitening at home and the other is for teeth whitening at our office:
Dental Options for Whitening in Monterey
- If you prefer immediate whitening results, we often recommend Sinsational Smile or ZOOM. Both are in-office whitening treatments that take an hour or less to perform.
- For a more gradual result, we provide custom, take-home, teeth whitening kits. We only use professional brands exclusive to dental care professionals. This ensures the best outcome for you.
BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL WHITENING
Professional teeth whitening gives you renewed confidence in your smile without the damaging effects of bleaching. And, teeth whitening offers a range of dental benefits when performed by a dentist. There are many at-home teeth whitening products available that are approved by the American Dental Association, so the advantages listed focus on professional teeth whitening performed by Dr. Frahm in our office or products only available through a dentist.
- Professional teeth whitening gets into the nooks and crannies between your teeth. This is where stains can be hardest to correct with at home teeth whiteners. The use of professional-grade teeth whitening diminishes moderate to severe stains and a dentist can help with discoloration you can’t see or resolve with at-home teeth whitening products.
- It’s a speedy and low-risk process compared to teeth whitening strips available at drug stores. By visiting a dentist, your teeth can be up to 10 shades whiter in about an hour!
- By seeing your dentist for teeth whitening you have access to a customized treatment specific to you. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products take a one-size-fits-all approach. And, you run the risk of burning your gum tissue.
ZOOM Teeth Whitening System
With the ZOOM teeth whitening system, we use a high powered, whitening solution and a patented light system to whiten your teeth up to 10 shades in about an hour. When administered by our expertly trained care team, ZOOM’s state-of-the-art system quickly removes enamel stains. ZOOM is a fast, effective and safe way to brighten your smile.
ZOOM works best for patients who have little or no dental work on front teeth and only whitens tooth enamel. Unfortunately, Tetracycline stained teeth, porcelain and composite materials will not whiten or become more brilliant with ZOOM. The only way to whiten tooth-colored materials is to replace them, which we are happy to help with that too.
Gel & Tray Whitening
If you would prefer to whiten your teeth subtly and over time, using a professional gel and tray system is your best option. Our customized whitening trays are molded to fit your mouth perfectly, so that the whitening solution can fill in the area around and between each tooth. Our whitening gel is professional strength so you will be able to see teeth whitening results rather quickly.
As with ZOOM, the gel and tray system cannot whiten Tetracycline stained teeth, porcelain or composite. The gel and tray system is a great way to whiten your teeth, to keep your smile bright for years to come, and is an especially wonderful option for people with healthy smiles who are interested in improving tooth color.
