Brighten your smile with professional teeth whitening

Take a moment to think about someone with a great smile. Chances are, their teeth are bright and gleaming! White teeth send others the signal that you are healthy and full of vitality. At Shadowridge Dental Group, we offer residents in San Marcos areas a variety of professional teeth whitening options to suit a variety of patient preferences.

Why choose professional teeth whitening?

Professional tooth whitening performed by a dentist offers many advantages for patients seeking to brighten their smiles. While there are many tooth whitening options available at your local grocery store or pharmacy, professional teeth whitening is:

• Faster and more effective: Simply put, professional whitening will give you better results in a shorter period of time, particularly when you choose in-office whitening.
• More comfortable: Over-the-counter strips and trays are designed to fit everyone, and therefore don’t really fit anyone properly! Professional whitening trays are custom-made based on impressions of your teeth, providing superior comfort and fit. Additionally, with a professional teeth whitening plan, our dentists can help you with issues such as tooth sensitivity that you may experience over the course of your treatment, so you are not experiencing discomfort.
• Safer: Many over-the-counter products are not regulated in the same way that medical-grade bleaching agents are. Additionally, we take extra precautions during in-office whitening treatments, and at-home treatments use customized trays. The bleaching gel during professional whitening treatment stays exactly where it’s supposed to be – on your teeth – and off of your sensitive gums, where it can cause sores and irritation.

Professional tooth whitening plans to suit your needs

Some patients are interested in gradually whitening their teeth, whereas others would like to ensure that their smile is looking as terrific as possible before a big event and want rapid results. We offer options for both! In-office whitening uses a specialized light to activate the gel, providing several shades of whitening in just around an hour. Take-home whitening trays offer patients the option of whitening their teeth in the comfort of their homes. Some patients opt for a combination plan that involves whitening in the office and take-home trays for touch-up maintenance.
