There are many over-the-counter products that are designed to be used at home without the need for supervision by a dentist. However, these over-the-counter products cannot provide the same level of whitening strength as the professional-grade treatments provided at Baltazar Guzman DDS. Additionally, the products available in stores take a longer time to garner noticeable whitening.

At our San Francisco office, our teeth bleaching products have concentrations of hydrogen peroxide ranging from 25% to 40%. Teeth bleaching products sold in stores typically have concentrations of 3.5% or less. Before the bleaching product is applied by Dr. Guzman or a member of our dental staff, a protective gel is applied to the gums. Whitening procedures in our office often only take one hour and only need to be repeated if the desired level of whitening is not achieved.

After your professional whitening appointment, you may wish to purchase whitening products from our San Francisco office. At Baltazar Guzman DDS staff can recommend the appropriate product for you to use at regular intervals to keep your smile bright.
