Benefits of Teeth Whitening with Dr. Deering
Professional teeth whitening with Dr. Deering is the safest and most effective method of achieving whiter teeth. Our in-office whitening occurs under carefully monitored conditions. Teeth whitening under our professional supervision allows for safe, controlled, pain-free treatment.
Our professional whitening products use a stronger concentration of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter products. Thus the whitening process takes less time to achieve better results. Treatment under Dr. Deering’s care ensures that sensitive gums are not irritated during the whitening process. The results should be long-lasting with careful oral hygiene practices.

What to Expect at the Consultation
Before your teeth whitening procedure, you will need to attend a consultation with Dr. Deering. This first appointment will allow you to discuss your dental history, overall health, and teeth goals. It is also crucial to bring up any ongoing dental issues, such as teeth and gum problems that will require treatment before your teeth whitening can occur.
We will also examine your teeth to see if you will benefit from whitening treatments. It is important to note that existing dental work, such as crowns and veneers, will not respond to conventional whitening agents. If treatments are a viable option, we will help determine which whitening product or technique will be the most effective.

Teeth Whitening Treatment Length
Teeth whitening done at Dr. Deering's office is the quickest method to whiten teeth. You can achieve much brighter teeth more quickly in-office because the concentration of bleaching solution is much stronger than other options. Professional teeth whitening requires an appointment at our dental office in Encinitas.
Teeth can get three to eight shades whiter with several 30 to 60-minute sessions. Other tooth whitening treatments are available that can whiten teeth in a single two-hour session. If you are interested in teeth whitening, please contact us for information about the available treatment options with Dr. Deering.

Is Teeth Whitening with Dr. Deering Right for You?
Professional teeth whitening with Dr. Dustin Deering is an excellent choice if you're dealing with moderate to severe tooth discoloration or staining. Common causes include aging, smoking, certain medications, and dark-colored foods or beverages. If your teeth appear yellow or brown, you’re likely a strong candidate for whitening treatment. However, whitening is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
We may advise against teeth whitening if you have gum disease, tooth decay, or worn enamel. These issues should be addressed before any whitening procedures can take place. Additionally, teeth that appear gray or purple may not respond well to traditional bleaching methods.
Curious about whether whitening is right for you? Our team is happy to help you explore the best cosmetic options to brighten your smile safely and effectively.

Follow-Up Care
Although professional teeth whitening is not permanent, you can help your whitening results last longer with proper care and maintenance. You should avoid smoking and food and drinks that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, or red wine. It is also essential to brush teeth twice a day, floss daily, and use mouthwash to reduce plaque.
You can also use whitening toothpaste as per Dr. Deering's recommendation, such as Colgate Total SF Fresh + Whitening ™ Toothpaste, hello® Naturally Whitening Toothpaste, or Colgate® Optic White® Toothpaste. Keep up with regular dental appointments for teeth cleaning. You can discuss touch-up treatments at six-month intervals with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is teeth whitening a safe procedure?
A. It is considered a safe procedure. There are possible side effects, though. The teeth may become more sensitive during treatment. Gums can become irritated from the whitening process. These symptoms should go away once the whitening products are no longer being used.
Q. Do I need to get my teeth cleaned before a teeth whitening procedure?
A. A professional tooth cleaning removes plaque and tartar, which makes the teeth whitening procedure more effective. It also helps to keep the color uniform while whitening. During the dental cleaning appointment, the exam can identify any tooth decay or gum diseases that need to be treated before whitening.
Q. Can I get teeth whitening if I have crowns or a bridge?
A. Whitening products only work on natural teeth. If you have implants, crowns, or bridges, we recommend speaking with our team about maintaining tooth coloration across all teeth. If you had previous dental work you can still receive a whitening treatment.
Q. Can I still get teeth whitening if I have other dental concerns or issues?
A. Our dental team can assess a patient's oral health to determine the right treatment course to get the desired results. Gum disease and tooth decay may need to be treated before whitening for the desired results. A consultation from our dental team will help you find solutions for good oral health.
Q. Does dental insurance cover teeth whitening?
A. Most dental insurance plans do not cover teeth whitening or other cosmetic procedures. Every insurance plan is different. People interested in teeth whitening should contact their insurance provider for more information.
