Teeth Whitening in Los Alamitos, CA
Instead of relying on over-the-counter whitening products that often give limited results, you can ask the Beachwood Dental team about teeth whitening in Los Alamitos, CA. We offer customized at-home whitening trays, along with advanced options like ZOOM!® and KöR® Teeth Whitening for patients who want a brighter smile with professional guidance. If a patient has a sensitivity issue with professional-grade, at-home whitening bleach and trays, we recommend the KöR® Teeth Whitening approach. We also have the well-known ZOOM! Whitening using a professional-strength hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. The get is applied to teeth and briefly exposed to a special ZOOM! light, which helps to break up stains and evenly whiten the teeth. Discolored teeth are less cosmetically appealing, but teeth can be brightened with our professional-strength whiteners quickly in our office or at home.
For our at-home kits, we provide molded trays, which are fitted comfortably. Patients will be given a whitening gel that will accompany their custom trays. As the patient uses the gel, their teeth should noticeably appear whiter, have less stains, and minimal discoloration.Our dentists are happy to consult with each patient and help determine what their custom needs will be in terms of whitening strength and treatment duration. Teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to achieve a brighter smile.

What to Expect
Our Beachwood Dental team will take a mold of the patient’s teeth and create custom trays based on the individual teeth shape. Once the trays are completed, a prescription whitening gel will also be given to the patient to be combined with the trays. These trays are used to help lock the gel in place and keep it from reaching the gums. Depending on the gel and the individual patient’s whitening needs, our dentists may recommend different treatment lengths, but the treatments are typically recommended in 45-minute increments everyday for about a month, or until the desired level is achieved. Noticeable results are possible after just one treatment, but it generally takes 2 – 4 weeks to see a substantial difference.
At Home Aftercare
Patients should avoid contact between the whitening gel and the gums as it can sometimes cause discomfort or sensitivity. However, as long as they are following our dentist’s treatment recommendations for the proper length of time, then a patient should be able to go about a normal routine without any disruption. To maximize the effects, patients may want to avoid any staining foods or beverages such as coffee, soda, or red wine. If any pain or discomfort develops, patients should contact our dental office. If the whitening treatments are not producing the desired effects, then our dentist will be happy to adjust the prescription.
Whiter Teeth At Home
We provide custom home whitening kits so patients can brighten their smile at their own pace and from the comfort of home.
