Professional teeth whitening san diego
Professional whitening in San Diego uses peroxide under dental supervision after checking enamel, gums, restorations, and sensitivity.
The short answer
The treatment targets stains in natural enamel, including some dietary and age-related discoloration. Existing crowns, veneers, fillings, and implants retain their original shade.
What happens during a dentist-managed whitening treatment?
A dentist examines the mouth, discusses the desired shade, protects soft tissue, and applies a controlled gel or supplies custom trays. The plan is adjusted for sensitivity and for any restorations that will need shade matching.
What should you check before arranging professional whitening?
Have an examination first if you have decay, gum disease, exposed roots, or cracked teeth. Seek care for severe sensitivity, persistent pain, or chemical irritation after whitening.
When should whitening suitability be discussed with a dentist?
Ask about the clinician’s examination, the whitening method, restoration colour mismatch, and how sensitivity will be controlled.
Frequently asked questions
Could another problem look similar?
Yes. Examination distinguishes surface irritation from tooth, gum, appliance, or mucosal disease.
What information should I bring?
Bring a medication list, relevant treatment records, and a note of when the symptom or concern began.
