A bright smile often boosts a patient’s self-esteem and confidence thanks to a brilliant and healthy appearance. Unfortunately, not everyone has a naturally occurring beautiful smile, and staining can happen with time, detracting from an otherwise beautiful grin. This is when patients often approach Dr. Brianne Luu and her team at Gentle Care Dentistry in Azusa, California, with questions about cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening services.

What methods of whitening are offered by our Azusa, California, area dentist?

Dr. Luu is pleased to offer patients solutions that meet their budgets and unique needs. She may recommend either in-office power bleaching or take-home whitening trays and gels.

• In-office power bleaching. Using our in-office power bleaching service, patients can brighten their smiles, sometimes up to eight shades whiter in a single appointment. This treatment is a fast and effective way of safely brightening the smile. Patients often choose this treatment when they need to prepare their smile for a special event such as a wedding or reunion.
• Take-home whitening kits. Our team also offers an alternative to in-office power bleaching, including take-home whitening kits. These kits include a custom whitening tray made from impressions of the patient’s smile and professional strength bleaching gel worn daily to brighten gradually. This treatment also lifts stains deep within the natural tooth enamel and can be performed as needed to maintain the results.

Which one is right for me?

Dr. Luu will evaluate your needs and discuss your personal smile goals to determine the proper treatment for you. She may even recommend a combination of both treatments, using an in-office treatment to brighten the smile initially and using take-home trays to continue whitening and maintaining the results.
