Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by removing stains and discoloration from the teeth. Over time, factors such as aging, diet, tobacco use, and certain medications can cause teeth to lose their natural brightness.
About Teeth Whitening
At Bachman Family Dentistry in Ridgecrest, CA, Dr. Michael Bachman Jr. offers professional teeth whitening services that provide safe, effective, and long-lasting results. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional treatments are tailored to each patient’s needs and are performed under the supervision of a dentist to ensure optimal safety and efficacy.
There are two primary options for teeth whitening at Bachman Family Dentistry: in-office whitening and take-home whitening kits. In-office whitening uses a powerful whitening gel that is applied to the teeth and activated with a special light, producing immediate and dramatic results in just one session. This option is ideal for patients who want quick results and a significant improvement in the brightness of their smile. For those who prefer a more gradual approach or the convenience of whitening at home, Dr. Bachman offers custom take-home whitening trays. These trays are molded to fit your teeth precisely and are filled with a professional-strength whitening gel that you can wear for a few hours each day until you achieve your desired results.
Teeth whitening not only improves the aesthetics of your smile but also boosts your confidence. However, Dr. Bachman ensures that each patient is a good candidate for whitening by performing a thorough examination to rule out any underlying dental issues such as cavities or gum disease. Additionally, Dr. Bachman provides guidance on maintaining a bright smile, such as avoiding foods and drinks that stain the teeth and practicing good oral hygiene habits. With professional teeth whitening at Bachman Family Dentistry, patients in Ridgecrest can enjoy a more youthful, vibrant smile with results that last longer and are safer than over-the-counter alternatives.
