Teeth Whitening

Our doctors provide teeth bleaching to help improve the color of your teeth and brighten your smile. While there are many ways to whiten your teeth, Cheer Dental offers custom-made, take home whitening trays to help you enhance your smile in the comfort of your home. We welcome you to call us at 408-437-1111 to learn more about teeth whitening in San Jose, California, and schedule your appointment with our dentists.

Take-home whitening trays are one of the most popular method of teeth whitening available, as they are both non-invasive and extremely convenient. They are also highly effective in brightening your teeth and improving your smile dramatically.

Teeth may become dull, stained, or discolored due to one or more of the following factors:

• Fluorosis
• Normal wear of the outer tooth enamel
• Medications
• Smoking and tobacco use
• Consumption of certain foods and beverages (coffee, tea, wine, etc.)

When you receive a take-home teeth whitening treatment at our practice, you can expect having two appointments with our dentists. During the first appointment, we will take impressions of your teeth to create your whitening trays. When you return for your second appointment, our dentists will check the fit of your trays and make any adjustments you may need. We will provide you instructions how to care for and use your trays.

When whitening your teeth, apply a special whitening solution to the inside of your trays. Wear these trays either twice a day for 30 minutes each time, or wear them overnight for several weeks. You will most likely experience tooth sensitivity during this time. The sensitivity will diminish and eventually go away after you stop bleaching your teeth.

While considering a teeth whitening treatment, it is necessary to remember that whitening only works on your natural tooth enamel. You may want to consider the replacement of the old restorations, like fillings and crowns. After completing your bleaching treatment, you can match the color of your newly-whitening smile. It is important to remember that teeth whitening treatments are not permanent. You can touch-up your smile periodically to ensure that it remains bright.
