Teeth Whitening in Santa Clara, CA | Brighten Your Smile with Professional Care

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

While over-the-counter (OTC) teeth whitening products are widely available, professional whitening treatments offer superior results in both speed and effectiveness. Here are some reasons why professional whitening may be the best choice for your smile:

• Stronger, More Effective Whitening: Professional whitening treatments use higher concentrations of bleaching agents, which penetrate deeper into the enamel to lift both surface and ingrained stains. In contrast, OTC products only target surface stains, offering less noticeable and less long-lasting results.
• Safe and Customized: Professional whitening treatments are tailored to your specific needs and are closely monitored by Dr. Jayne to ensure safety. Our treatments contain desensitizing agents to protect your teeth and gums from irritation, reducing the risk of sensitivity that often comes with OTC products.
• Fast Results: In just one in-office session, professional whitening can lighten your teeth by several shades, giving you immediate results. For patients seeking a more gradual approach, our take-home kits allow you to whiten your teeth at your own pace.

Causes of Teeth Discoloration

Teeth can become discolored or stained for a variety of reasons. Some common causes of teeth discoloration include:

• Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can lead to severe yellowing and brown stains on the teeth.
• Beverages: Drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and cola are notorious for staining the enamel.
• Certain Foods: Dark-colored foods like berries, tomato-based sauces, and soy sauce can contribute to tooth discoloration.
• Aging: Over time, the outer enamel layer wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin underneath.
• Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, can cause intrinsic staining of the teeth.
• Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup, which can cause discoloration over time.

In-Office Teeth Whitening Treatments

At Dr. Jayne’s dental office, we offer two professional in-office whitening treatments: Zoom WhiteSpeed and Sinsational Smile. Both options are highly effective, delivering fast and noticeable results. Here's how each treatment works:

1. Zoom WhiteSpeed In-Office Whitening

Zoom WhiteSpeed is one of the most advanced and popular teeth-whitening systems available. This in-office procedure uses a powerful whitening gel and an LED light to accelerate the whitening process. The treatment typically takes about 45 minutes, during which the LED light activates the whitening gel, helping you achieve a smile that is up to 8 shades brighter.

Zoom WhiteSpeed is ideal for patients looking for immediate results, whether it’s for a special occasion or simply to improve their appearance. After your treatment, Dr. Jayne provides custom take-home trays so you can maintain your newly brightened smile.

2. Sinsational Smile In-Office Whitening

For a quicker and more affordable option, we offer Sinsational Smile whitening. This treatment is perfect for patients looking for fast results with minimal time spent in the chair. In just 20 minutes, Sinsational Smile can lighten your teeth by several shades. This treatment includes a silicone tray pre-filled with a whitening gel, and an LED light is used to activate the bleaching agent, speeding up the process.

The tray is designed to keep your jaw relaxed, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant experience. Sinsational Smile also comes with a take-home whitening kit for easy maintenance of your results.

Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer the convenience of whitening their teeth at home, we offer custom take-home whitening kits. These kits include whitening trays that are custom-molded to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even coverage of the whitening gel. Our take-home kits contain professional-grade whitening agents that provide more effective and longer-lasting results than OTC products.

Dr. Jayne typically recommends using your take-home trays for a few weeks following an in-office treatment to maintain your bright smile. You can also use them as a standalone treatment if you prefer a more gradual approach.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Investing in professional teeth whitening offers numerous benefits:

• Dramatic, Long-Lasting Results: Professional whitening treatments can brighten your teeth by several shades in just one visit, and the results last significantly longer than OTC whitening products.
• Customizable Treatment: Whether you opt for an in-office treatment or a take-home kit, your whitening treatment will be tailored to your specific goals and dental needs.
• Safe and Monitored: Professional whitening is carefully monitored to ensure safety and comfort, reducing the risk of sensitivity or damage to your teeth and gums.
• Boost in Confidence: A whiter, brighter smile can have a profound impact on your self-esteem, helping you feel more confident in both social and professional settings.

Maintaining Your Whitening Results

To ensure your teeth stay bright and beautiful after your whitening treatment, follow these tips:

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting us for regular cleanings and check-ups will help keep your teeth white and healthy.
• Limit Staining Foods and Beverages: Reduce consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods that can cause stains.
• Use a Straw: When drinking beverages that may stain your teeth, use a straw to minimize contact with the front teeth.
• Periodic Touch-Ups: Use your custom take-home trays for occasional touch-ups to keep your smile bright. Dr. Jayne can recommend how often you should use them based on your lifestyle and habits.
