What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that can lighten the color of your teeth and remove stains and discoloration. It’s a popular treatment for enhancing your smile’s appearance, achieving a brighter and more radiant set of teeth. At Burbank Dental Studio, gentle whitening solutions can brighten your smile without compromising your oral health.

How does teeth whitening work?

Teeth whitening uses peroxide-based bleaching agents to break down and remove stains and discoloration from your teeth’s surface and within their enamel (the hard outer layer). Hydrogen and carbamide peroxide are the two most common whitening agents used in professional and over-the-counter treatments.

What are the benefits of professional teeth whitening?

In-office teeth whitening offers many benefits:


Effective stain removal

Professional teeth whitening effectively removes stubborn stains and discoloration from your teeth, providing noticeable results instantly.


Customized treatment

Dr. Annie can tailor the whitening treatment to your specific needs, delivering a personalized approach that addresses your unique concerns and preferences.


Safe and supervised

Dr. Annie performs and supervises in-office teeth whitening, ensuring safety and minimizing risks to your oral health.


Faster results

Compared to over-the-counter products, professional whitening procedures often deliver faster and more dramatic results, allowing you to achieve a brighter smile in a shorter time.


Reduced sensitivity

Your dental team uses techniques and products to minimize tooth sensitivity during and after the whitening process, enhancing your overall comfort.


Long-lasting outcome

Professional teeth whitening tends to provide longer-lasting results compared to at-home options, helping you maintain a bright and vibrant smile for an extended period.

What can I expect from a teeth whitening visit?

Teeth whitening begins with a personalized consultation focused on enhancing your smile. During this consultation, Dr. Annie evaluates your teeth and discusses your whitening goals, tailoring a plan to meet your unique needs. 

Next, she applies a protective barrier to your lips and gums to reduce sensitivity. Once you’re protected, she applies a professional-strength whitening solution to your teeth, often activated by a special light or heat. 

Your dental team closely monitors the whitening to ensure its effectiveness while minimizing any potential discomfort. Once the treatment is complete, your teeth will appear several shades brighter. The results of teeth whitening are instant, so you can enjoy your rejuvenated smile right away.
