Best Teeth Whitening in Torrance, CA
Successful teeth-whitening begins with an experienced cosmetic dentist like Dr. Matthew Thunberg or Steven J. Kend. Whether you prefer to brighten your teeth at home or want a chairside treatment for instant results, we have the solution.
Results You Can Count On
Many people invest in ineffective over-the-counter products that make promises they can’t deliver. Dr. Thunberg has several options to meet your needs and fit your budget.
Our in-office whitening produces immediate results in about two hours, and our take-home method can give you similar results in two weeks or less.
Chairside Whitening
Drs. Thunberg’s and Kend's patients know they can count on them to whiten their teeth to their preferred shade and provide a take-home formula to keep it that way at no additional cost.
After your teeth are polished, we take measures to protect your gums from sensitivity. We then prepare your teeth for application of the professional bleaching gel, chosen just for you, and apply the formula to each tooth getting bleached. After about 15 minutes, this process will be repeated 4 to 5 times to reach the maximum level of whiteness your teeth can achieve.
At Home Teeth Whitening
Dr. Thunberg offers customized whitening trays with a professional strength bleaching gel made by Premier®. When choosing this option, an impression of your teeth is obtained to maximize coverage and guarantee all surfaces are treated evenly.
This take-home method of teeth whitening efficiently removes external stains from the comfort of your home in 10 to 14 days when used according to our dentist’s instructions.
Bleaching Crowns and other Restorations
Dental restorations like crowns and bridges cannot be lightened once they’ve been crafted and shade matched. If you need a tooth repaired or replaced, and would also like a brighter smile, consider whitening your teeth before your restoration procedure.
What Causes Tooth Staining?
There are two kinds of dental discoloration. Over time, teeth can become extrinsically stained due to the consumption of dark liquids like coffee and wine. Tobacco products also dull smiles. Intrinsic (permanent) discoloration can be caused by illness, medications, genetics, and injury.
Professional teeth whitening addresses extrinsic (surface) stains and cannot penetrate the inner portion of teeth. If this is the case for you, dental veneers are a better choicer to brighten and transform your smile.
