Teeth Whitening

Everyone wants to have an amazing smile! Here at Tarzana Dental Care our teeth whitening treatment is an excellent way to improve your appearance and create the smile you deserve. Our in-house procedure is quick and painless.

We offer Zoom bleaching; this procedure is simple. It begins with having your lips and gums covered so that only your teeth are exposed. The proprietary Zoom whitening gel is then applied, which is designed to be used with the Zoom light. The gel and light provide a combined effect of breaking up stains and removing discolorations. After an hour, your teeth will have been lightened by up to 5-6 shades.

The whitening itself does not last indefinitely and will require maintenance by the patient.  Regular drinking of beverages that stain teeth may also affect results, in which, the patient may have to perform increased monitoring and maintenance of the teeth after the treatment.

Laser Teeth Whitening

When performing teeth whitening, the EPIC need only be equipped with its special whitening headpiece that helps distribute its beam across the patient’s teeth. With an average whitening of 4-6 shades in only 20 minutes, the EPIC is among the fastest and most efficient of any in-office whitening systems.

How does it work?

A hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated by the laser. If you tend to have sensitive teeth you can let us know and we can control the level of laser energy that we deliver to make your experience more pleasant. The EPIC treatment process lightens dark, yellowed or discolored enamel caused by tobacco, food, and beverages such as tea, coffee and red wine.

Results are noticeable immediately after the treatment.
