Sometimes, all it takes is a simple tooth whitening treatment, also known a tooth bleaching, to give you that perfect smile. As you age, you may begin to notice that your teeth aren’t quite the same shade of white that they were in your youth. Some of us are even born with teeth that are much darker than they should be naturally. Typically, noticeable discoloration begins in the late 20s and early 30s. A variety of factors can speed up the discoloration process including chemical staining from drinking caffeine and smoking, a genetic predisposition to early yellowing, and the onset of gum and tooth disease. Bay Park Dental offers tooth whitening in San Diego. We have a variety of affordable professional tooth whitening systems, available either in-office or at home. The level of whiteness that can be achieved depends on the extent of discoloration of your teeth and how they came to be stained. When done properly, tooth whitening can be achieved safely and effectively, without any damage to the teeth or to the gums.

ZOOM! Whitening:Dr. Vane offers in office whitening, using the same system as seen on the television show "Extreme Makeover".  A special chairside ligth is used to activate a bleaching agent that is carefully applied to your teeth. A study has shown that the use of the ZOOM! lamp increases the effectiveness of the whitening gel by 26% or more over just the gel use in the trays.  ZOOM! whitening can produce an improvement of up to 8 shades in under an hour. The light and the gel work together to gently penetrate the surface layer of your enamel, breaking up stains while .you sit back and relax, for three 15-minute cycles.  For patients where compliance may be an issue, in-office whitening offers a convienient method for achieving optimum results.

Tooth whitening can be done at anytime, and expediently if you have a special event that you have in mind. We offer Opalescence (bleaching gel and trays) and Zoom! (bleaching onsite in about an hour) bleaching services. Just ask any of our well-trained staff members about what type of tooth whitening is right for you. Call (619) 276-0963 today!
