Starting Teeth Whitening in Valencia
Professional whitening lightens natural teeth, and it starts with a check of your teeth and gums.
SC Orthodontics is at 25385 Wayne Mills Pl in Valencia, off Magic Mountain Parkway. This page covers starting whitening here; for how professional whitening works, see the full guide.
What we check first
Teeth, gums and existing dental work.
Dr. Haykani checks your teeth and gums first, because whitening is best started when they are healthy. If something needs attention before whitening, she tells you.
Whitening lightens natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, bonding and fillings keep their current shade, so any on your front teeth are part of planning the result.
Planning the whitening approach
Planned for your teeth.
After the evaluation, Dr. Haykani recommends an approach for your teeth and explains what it involves before you begin.
If your teeth are already sensitive, mention it; existing sensitivity is part of what the plan takes into account.
The office is open Sunday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM, with Sunday and evening appointments available.
Sensitivity and aftercare
Common, and usually temporary.
Tooth sensitivity is common during and after whitening and is usually temporary. Gum irritation can also happen and generally settles after treatment. If either does not settle, call or text the office; you get a reply the same day.
Whitening results are not permanent. Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco can restain teeth over time.
What it costs
Quoted before you start.
The fee for whitening is quoted at your visit, before anything begins.
