BLEACHING LOS ANGELES- PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING
Bleaching for Teeth Whitening in Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks
Bleaching Los Angeles - Flawless and dazzling white teeth are the epitome of beauty, health, and success. However, not everyone is naturally blessed with a bright tooth color, and it is a natural process in life that teeth tend to darken over time. A bleaching or professional teeth whitening can lighten your teeth by several shades in just one session. We use gentle methods for visibly whiter teeth.
Who is teeth whitening suitable for?
We exclusively perform bleaching treatments on our adult patients who have a healthy dentition. Should we detect any dental issues such as cavities, leaky fillings, or periodontitis during the preliminary examination, these must be addressed beforehand. Since the tooth structure is not fully developed in adolescent patients, we recommend teeth bleaching only from the age of 18.
Caution with at-home bleaching products
The topic of teeth bleaching belongs in professional hands. There are now several bleaching products on the market recommended for home use. However, a bleaching treatment by a dentist is much safer and ensures that you achieve the desired results. Medical professionals can use significantly higher concentrated gels, thus achieving more intense results.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
A bleaching treatment at the dentist is purely a cosmetic procedure and therefore not covered by health insurance. For this reason, patients in Los Angeles must bear the cost of bleaching themselves. Prices depend on various factors. The final costs for teeth whitening are determined by how much you want your teeth to be lightened and what shade of white you desire. Feel free to come for a consultation at our cosmetic dentistry practice in Sherman Oaks, so we can provide you with a personalized quote.

Consultation & Anamnesis
Do you desire whiter teeth? Then the first step towards achieving that is a consultation appointment at our practice. We assess the status of your dental health and address any dental issues such as cavities or periodontitis, ensuring that there are no obstacles to the bleaching treatment afterwards.
2. Dental Cleaning
To ensure that the bleaching agent can penetrate the tooth enamel well and evenly, we recommend a professional dental cleaning beforehand. This way, you'll enjoy a radiant smile for even longer.
3. Preparation
Subsequently, the bleaching agent is applied to your teeth and left to take effect for a certain period. Its effectiveness is enhanced with a special LED light. The duration of the application time depends on the original tooth color and the desired outcome.
4. Application of the bleaching agent
Plan about an hour for your teeth whitening appointment. First, the gums will be covered to prevent them from coming into contact with the bleaching agent.
Often, the desired result is achieved in a single session and can last up to three years. However, multiple sessions may be necessary until your teeth reach the desired shade.
Are there risks associated with bleaching treatment at the dentist?
As we use a very gentle bleaching treatment, the risks are manageable. It's important that any dental issues such as open gum pockets or dental diseases are addressed beforehand to prevent the bleaching agent from penetrating deeper into the teeth or gums than desired.
Through our innovative bleaching method, we can precisely adjust the desired tooth color. Some patients may experience increased sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures after bleaching. However, this issue often resolves within a few hours or days.
You can support the process with a special fluoride gel from the pharmacy. If you have existing dental prosthetics, we need to check them for potential interactions before the bleaching treatment.
