Fremont Dentist for Teeth Whitening

Why choose professional teeth whitening?

With professional teeth whitening services, patients can brighten their smiles quickly and affordably. These services provide more reliable results than over-the-counter options. Over-the-counter whitening products such as strips and whitening toothpaste fall short of providing proper whitening and are often a lower concentration of ingredients than those available through a dentist. Patients who have been unhappy with the results they’ve achieved with local drugstore options are urged to consider the benefits of professional teeth whitening.

What causes stained teeth?

Yellow teeth in Fremont CA area

There are many reasons patients may have discolored or yellowed teeth. Some foods can contribute to changes in the natural tooth enamel, as well as beverages such as coffees, teas, and red wines. Over time, these foods and drinks discolor the smile and cause it to look dark and dull. Patients interested in combating these discolorations are encouraged to ask Dr. Lokhandwala of StarBrite Dental about the whitening solutions that can be used to counteract staining.

What methods of professional whitening are available?

Dr. Lokhandwala is pleased to provide take-home whitening kits and professional in-office power bleaching. The whitening kits use custom-created plastic trays that fit over the upper and lower dental arches. A high-concentration whitening gel is given to patients, who put the gel into the trays and wear for a specific time every day to achieve a whiter smile gradually. The in-office methods include our ZOOM Advanced Light Teeth whitening system and the Sapphire Plasma Arc Light process developed by the Rembrandt brand. These are highly focused treatments that use light to activate the bleaching ingredients to powerfully lift and address stains that may be deep within the natural tooth enamel. All three methods are safe, reliable, and affordable.

Which method of whitening is best for my smile?

Determining the whitening method appropriate for a patient’s smile starts with a consultation with Dr. Lokhandwala. She will provide a thorough evaluation and discuss the options used for smile enhancement. Patients have a choice as to which treatment they would prefer and can determine if the treatment they desire is best for them.
