Gum Disease Treatment in Encino
Even with excellent oral care, everyday habits can leave your teeth looking less than their brightest. Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and simply getting older can all contribute to dull or yellowing teeth. At our Encino dental office, we provide safe, professional teeth whitening options that restore the sparkle to your smile quickly and comfortably.
Whether you’re preparing for a special event or just want to feel more confident, our whitening treatments are designed to deliver noticeable, natural-looking results with minimal sensitivity.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that lifts stains from the enamel and lightens discoloration. Unlike store-bought kits, our professional methods use advanced technology and dentist-approved materials for safe and predictable results.
We offer two types of whitening solutions:
- In-Office Whitening
A light-activated whitening system brightens your teeth several shades in just one visit. Ideal for fast, dramatic improvements. - Custom At-Home Whitening Trays
We create personalized trays and provide a high-quality whitening gel for you to use at home over several days. Perfect if you prefer a gradual change or touch-ups on your schedule.
Signs You Need Teeth Cleaning
Teeth whitening is most effective for individuals with surface stains caused by:
- Coffee, tea, or red wine
- Tobacco use
- Natural enamel aging
- Staining foods like berries or sauces
You may be a good candidate if:
- Your gums are healthy and free of inflammation
- You do not have untreated cavities or worn enamel
- You’re not whitening restorations (crowns, veneers, or bridges)

What to Expect During Treatment
We follow a simple, effective process to brighten your smile safely:
1. Consultation & Exam
We begin with a complete evaluation to check your oral health and determine the cause of staining.
2. Cleaning & Preparation
A professional dental cleaning clears surface debris. We apply a gum barrier to protect soft tissues during the whitening process.
3. Whitening Gel Application
A potent whitening gel, usually hydrogen or carbamide peroxide, is applied to your teeth in layers. A specialized light may be used to accelerate the effects.
4. Multiple Rounds (If Needed)
Depending on the desired brightness, we may repeat the application once or twice within the same visit.
5. Aftercare Guidance
We’ll give you clear instructions on foods to avoid, how to maintain results, and when to schedule your next touch-up.
