Modern Teeth Whitening Options for Today’s Dental Patient

When making the decision to whiten your teeth, it is important to consider the benefits of the variety of whitening kits available today. From those that can be taken home and used on your own time to in-office whitening procedures that are handled by a cosmetic dental professional, you have multiple paths to a beautiful and healthy smile. At the Pasadena dental office of Monique Y. Perez, DDS, you’ll find that our approach to teeth whitening will help you to discover the smile you’ve always wanted.

The Benefits of Whitening

Teeth whitening offers several unique benefits, including:

Improving Dental Appearance: If you want more beautiful teeth, you can generally have them through whitening! One huge way to improve an individual’s overall look is by enhancing their smile, and teeth whitening is an affordable and effective way to do so.

Boosting Self-Confidence: A bright, healthy smile can improve one’s sense of confidence and self-worth. Teeth whitening has become incredibly popular today and easily lifts the spirits of most patients.

Creating a Youthful Look: Yellowed or otherwise discolored teeth can contribute to an “old” or “weathered” look, while natural-looking, bright white teeth can minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles and may actually reduce the perceived age of the patient.

Our Teeth Whitening Options

At our Pasadena dental office, you can opt for a take home teeth whitening system, Zoom!, or the in-office Opalescence treatment.

Zoom! comes in a procedure kit with disposable components. If used as instructed, Zoom! can deliver professional-level results in a significantly shorter amount of time than other whitening products. Though most dental professionals can more effectively whiten teeth when patients visit the office, this system is a terrific option for those who want to whiten on their own time.

The Opalescence system is also a professional-grade teeth whitening option for patients who prefer that Dr. Perez directly help them brighten their smile. The solution this system uses includes a desensitizing agent to enhance comfort. The solution also includes fluoride to strengthen teeth, helping you develop your smile's health and beauty at once.

To help you decide which option is best for you, contact Monique Y. Perez, DDS today. You can schedule a consultation that can lead to a brighter, whiter, and healthier looking smile!
