With professional teeth whitening, you don't have to be an A-list actor to get a critically-acclaimed smile!
The gleaming smiles of Hollywood's most famous have surely greeted you as you enter the checkout line at the supermarket. While their 
salaries can afford them some procedures and products that are out of the "average Joe's" price range, you too can have a beautifully brilliant smile thanks to in-office teeth whitening at Apple Valley Dental in Apple Valley, CA. Dr. Samuel Kim helps his patients in Southern California achieve million-dollar smiles for a much more budget-friendly price. Here's how:
How does teeth whitening work?
Your teeth look smooth, but they are actually covered with microscopic pits and grooves that give stain-causing particles a place to collect. Over time, your teeth can retain enough of these particles that they begin to take on a brown or yellowish color. The teeth whitening products used at Apple Valley Dental contain peroxide, which attacks the trapped stains with oxygen and causes them to break up into even smaller pieces so they can be cleared away. The result - a brightened smile that can be up to eight shades whiter!
Will store-bought teeth whitening products give me the same results?
The whitening gels, trays, toothpastes and strips you can purchase at any major retailer use the same ingredients as the professional products used by your Apple Valley dentist. However, the concentration of whitening agents - carbamide or hydrogen peroxide - is much weaker, which makes over-the-counter products less effective. Because you have to use them for much longer periods of time - several weeks or months - the enamel can become weak and cause tooth sensitivity. Having your teeth professionally whitened in Apple Valley only takes an hour or less, and the results are immediately evident.
