Teeth Whitening

Tooth Whitening in Daly City, CA

When you first meet someone, your smile is one of the few features that leave a lasting impression. Because it helps to express your personality, it is important that you feel confident with your smile. Tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures used in smile makeovers because it adds that extra brightness that showcases your beautiful teeth.

Teeth naturally collect stains and change color over time due to coffee, smoking, wine, medicine, and other sources. Most commonly, stains and debris filter into tiny cracks in tooth enamel while you chew, gradually dulling the appearance of your teeth. Many people try home remedies and non-professional tooth whitening which can lead to unsafe and often disappointing results. San Mateo County dentist Dr. Ken Hovden is a trained tooth whitening professional who can help you determine the best method for whitening your teeth into a sparkling white smile. As a distinguished mentor of dental professionals across the nation and the only American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry member with Accredited status in San Mateo, you can trust him to stay up on the latest cosmetic dental advancements.

Zoom Whitening Process

Among the many teeth whitening options, our cosmetic dental office specializes in Zoom!™ teeth whitening. As opposed to many home tooth-whitening systems that take weeks to whiten teeth only a few shades, the Zoom! whitening system can whiten your teeth up to 8 shades in under an hour. The process is fairly simple:

1. Tooth preparation: After deciding that Zoom! tooth whitening is the best whitening system for your teeth, Dr. Hovden will cover your gums and lips so that only your teeth are exposed.
2. Whitening Gel: A special tooth whitening gel is spread over your teeth
3. Zoom! Light: A special light activates the tooth whitening gel when exposed to your teeth in three fifteen-minute segments. The light and gel work together to break up the stains and discoloration on your teeth and you walk out in under an hour with a beautifully white smile.
