Los Angeles Whiter Smiles

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Wishing for a whiter smile in Los Angeles but not sure how to get it? New to tooth whitening lingo? At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we educate clients on the variety of affordable Los Angeles teeth whitening treatments; from whitening trays to teeth bleaching to zoom whitening. We do Los Angeles teeth whitening every day.

Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that comes in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at (877) 331-9291 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Los Angeles smile whitening results.

Los Angeles at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have dental crowns or veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Los Angeles teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at (877) 331-9291.

Teeth Whitening At Your Los Angeles Dentist

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to improve your smile in Los Angeles. It is quick, affordable, and non-invasive. Though some Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry patients experience short-term sensitivity, most experience no tooth whitening pain at all.

If you have looked into Los Angeles teeth whitening, you probably already know the basics. The one thing they have in common is that they use a solution containing peroxide to remove the stains that have settled in the natural microscopic cracks in your tooth enamel.

There are many DIY teeth bleaching products available in Los Angeles and it seems like new ones appear every time you visit the toothpaste aisle at your local grocery or drug store.

These over-the-counter tooth whitening strips and tooth whitening pens can sometimes whiten your teeth a few shades, but the peroxide concentration is much lower than the whitening solutions used in Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry offices. It may not be strong enough for your tooth stains.

Tooth whitening offered at Los Angeles mall kiosks is risky, also. Most of these teeth whitening businesses have no professional oversight and the employees have little dental training. (Except instruction on how to take advantage of customer naivety.)

Dr. Bill Dorfman recommend that you use extreme caution when considering a take-home Los Angeles tooth whitener. If you have tooth decay, gum recession, dental crowns, or dental veneers, you should deal with these issues before you whiten your teeth.

The portion of your teeth below the gumline, if exposed, may respond differently to tooth whitener. Likewise, the peroxide solution does not noticeably whiten dental veneers and crowns. If you use a DIY tooth whitener on teeth with extensive porcelain restorations, you should probably hope it doesn’t whiten too much–you may end up with a two- or three-tone smile!

Even though Los Angeles teeth whitening seems fairly straightforward, your teeth deserve a professional opinion. After all, we are talking about teeth here. You can’t fix an uneven teeth whitening result like you can a bad hair-coloring job.

Schedule a Los Angeles tooth bleaching evaluation before you waste your money on more Crest White Strips. We have a variety of whitening options, including Day White/ Night White take home kits, as well as Zoom whitening in-office. We can be reached at (877) 331-9291.

Los Angeles Tooth Whitening For Whiter Smiles

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Los Angeles, tooth whitening is one of the easiest and rewarding procedures. There are also a lot of tooth whitening options for those of us in the Beverly Hills area. How do you find a good tooth whitening procedure in Los Angeles?

Visiting your local Los Angeles dentist is a good start!

Whitening your teeth is an advanced dental procedure that you won’t want to get wrong on the first try. That’s why I always recommend a visit to Century City Aesthetic Dentistry (our dental practice) to visit with me and talk about it. I’m Bill Dorfman, and as a Los Angeles dentist, I am not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile. I can recommend tooth whitening procedures based on your age, dental hygiene, and personal goals.

Most importantly, I can help you assess the condition of your teeth and help you understand what to expect and how to care for your teeth once they are whitened.

Many of our Los Angeles patients ask about tooth whitening. In fact it is one of our most popular dental procedures. There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our Los Angeles dental office called Zoom whitening. The one best for you can depend on many factors, starting with the color of your teeth, and how white you want your teeth to be after the procedure.

Consulting with your Los Angeles dentist before you begin a tooth whitening procedure has several advantages. Among the advantages are professional care, experienced advice, and reliable recommendations for which tooth whitening procedure will be best for you.

If you are contemplating a teeth whitening procedure, and you live in the Los Angeles area, come in and visit with me for just a few minutes. We’ll discuss your goals, the options that are available to you, and the results you can expect. You will be much happier with your results with the advantage of professional advice.

I look forward to hearing from you. Call (877) 331-9291.

Do Whitestrips Work?

Friday, August 19th, 2011

If you have visited the toothpaste aisle at your Beverly Hills Wal-Mart, you have probably noticed dozens of products that claim to whiten your teeth. A few years ago, the only over-the-counter tooth whitening options in Beverly Hills were whitening toothpastes and Crest Whitestrips. Now there is a wide variety of products at every drugstore counter in the Beverly Hills area.

Whitening Rinses
Beverly Hills whitening rinses are similar to mouthwashes. They kill bacteria, freshen breath and may help remove plaque. Whitening rinses, however, contain tooth-whitening ingredients not found in mouthwashes. Manufacturers advise taking a mouthful of the rinse and letting it slosh around on your teeth for one minute twice a day. Though this method is simple, many users never notice a lightening of their teeth. This is probably because the rinse does not touch your teeth long enough to truly whiten them.

Whitening Strips
The whitening strips you can buy in Beverly Hills grocery stores have a couple of drawbacks. Though they contain a bleaching agent, it is much less potent than those used in California cosmetic dental offices. Another problem is that they do not whiten between teeth because the strips only touch the front surface. Though it is possible to remove stains, it can take months to see any whitening. By that point, you have probably spent more money than you would have if you’d have chosen the professional system at your Beverly Hills tooth whitening dental office. We offer professional Zoom whitening that can whiten your teeth in an hour.

Teeth Whitening Gels
Whitening gels are painted onto teeth with a small brush. One problem with whitening gels is that they only stick to dry teeth. If any saliva gets on the teeth during treatment, the gel is more likely to slide off.

If you are serious about dramatically whitening your teeth, the safest, quickest, and most affordable system is at your Beverly Hills dental office.

Century City Aesthetic Dentistry is located at 2080 Century Park E, Ste 1601 in Los Angeles. Our phone number is (877) 331-9291. You can find more information on our Los Angeles dental website online at http://www.billdorfmandds.com/meet-the-team/dr-dorfman/.

Love Your Smile in Century City

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Century City men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a Hollywood wedding, Century City party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Century City teeth whitening can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Century City whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Los Angeles tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Century City tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

California tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. We offer many whitening options including professional in-office Zoom whitening. Tooth whitening in Los Angeles is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Beverly Hills?

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

What is the best professional tooth whitening system?

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Beverly Hills. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Beverly Hills in-office Zoom whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.

Most cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many Beverly Hills, CA clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer safe and effective teeth whitening. Our Beverly Hills cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at (877) 331-9291.

Restoring Smiles at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many Beverly Hills smiles better than they ever were before!

Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that are attached to the front of one of more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both.

Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.

Some of our Hollywood and Century City dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our California cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, come on in; we’ll help you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile.

Los Angeles Cosmetic Dental Artistry

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry is part science and part art.

I’m Dr. Bill Dorfman of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry and enjoy using my extensive dental training and specialized artistic skills to design treatment plans unique to each of my Los Angeles cosmetic dental clients.

In order to achieve an attractive, yet natural looking result, I do much more than recommend specific procedures. I consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. In order to create a balanced look, the facial shape and coloring is taken into account. The Beverly Hills dentistry client’s age, health condition and lifestyle all influence the plan.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, there is no one size fits all treatment plan.

My artistic abilities have been perfected over several years of creating smile transformations for my Hollywood and Century City cosmetic dentistry clients. I am constantly receiving the latest training in new techniques and materials.

Even fairly recent cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers have advanced considerably. Dental implants are a truly remarkable solution for our California dental clients who have lost one or more teeth.

I would love to design a personalized smile makeover for you. When the work has been completed and you are enjoying your new look, it will only be obvious to those who see you all the time. Others will assume you have always been blessed with a naturally beautiful and healthy smile.
