Hollywood remains a hub for cosmetic dentistry because clinics there specialize in professional whitening, veneers, and fast, camera-ready results. Modern practice emphasizes natural-looking outcomes, dentist supervision, and a range of options from in-office bleaching to veneers.
Overview of in-office, dentist-supervised, and over-the-counter tooth whitening methods, their active ingredients, common side effects, and guidance for choosing a safe option.
Teeth whitening ranges from dentist-supervised in-office treatments and custom take-home trays to lower-strength OTC kits and whitening toothpastes that remove surface stains. Professional supervision reduces risks and helps manage sensitivity.
At-home teeth whitening remains a popular, accessible way to reduce coffee-, tea-, and tobacco-related stains. Products range from OTC strips and gels to dentist-prescribed trays and newer LED kits. Follow directions, consult your dentist for sensitivity or restorations, and avoid DIY remedies that can harm enamel.
