Teeth Whitening
One of the most common requests we receive at Loomis Dentist is how to make a smile whiter and brighter. Professional teeth whitening is a relatively simple and quick treatment that can be performed periodically to refresh your appearance and boost your confidence. For patients throughout Loomis, CA, it is one of the easiest ways to enhance your smile.
Request an AppointmentIn addition to brightening your smile, professional whitening actually rids the teeth of plaque and tartar that tend to lead to dental problems. Before treatment, we evaluate your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is right for you and that your smile is healthy enough to achieve the best possible results. Patients with sensitive teeth or existing dental work can talk with us about the options that will work best for their needs.
Whitening pairs beautifully with our other cosmetic dentistry services. If you have discoloration that whitening alone cannot fully correct, we may recommend veneers or bonding to achieve your ideal look. Keeping up with regular cleanings and exams will also help your bright new smile last longer.
