Why Choose Whitening at Uno Dental San Francisco?

There are two types of stains – some are surface-level and are the result of normal wear and lifestyle choices. Others are deeper and exist within the different layers of the teeth. Although you may be able to find results with surface-level stains on your own, you’ll need professional treatment for deep stains.

Teeth can become stained for a variety of reasons. Some of these include food and drinks like coffee, red wine, or tea, while others can include lifestyle choices like smoking or tobacco use. Additionally, your teeth can simply be yellow because of genetics. It’s perfectly normal to want a brighter, whiter smile, so it’s important to know that not all whitening treatments are created equal.

Over-the-counter whitening treatments can be ineffective at best and even damaging to your teeth at worst. It’s always better to undergo professional whitening with a board certified dentist who can take the right steps to protect your teeth and approach your goals with an artistic and experienced eye. Dr. Kandar can work with you to both achieve your ideal results and maintain them for the long term. As always, our team is here to support your goals with the help of our industry-leading cosmetic treatments and our state-of-the-art luxury practice.

What Can I Expect During Whitening Treatment?

Sometimes called teeth bleaching, our whitening treatments can be performed right in our luxurious San Francisco office. To begin, you’ll discuss your goals with Dr. Kandar and determine the right degree of lightening you want to achieve. Then, you’ll relax and settle in for the duration of your whitening treatment at our comfortable office. Firstly, a hydrogen peroxide solution is applied to the teeth for a predetermined duration. Dr. Kandar will take steps to ensure the solution doesn’t damage the surrounding gum tissue or the enamel itself. A specialized, light-based device is also applied to the teeth to help activate the hydrogen peroxide solution. Each phase of the whitening treatment is done 15 minutes at a time to ensure that you’re achieving the level of whitening you want. Overall, the process can take one to two hours and is completely pain-free.

How Can I Get the Best Results from My Whitening Treatment?

The best way to maintain your teeth whitening results is by preventing further stain formation. This means drinking coffee or red wine sparingly and making sure to rinse your mouth afterward to prevent buildup. Additionally, you should continue good brushing habits to remove stains early. Dr. Kandar will also give you whitening treatments to use at home regularly to keep your smile bright. Finally, you can return for a touch-up appointment at our luxurious San Francisco office as needed.
