Teeth Whitening in Petaluma

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “whitening” procedure. If you prefer teeth that are immediately whiter right now, or you would rather whiten your teeth over a few nights while you sleep, we have an option for you! 

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Our In-Office Whitening System uses proprietary technology to whiten teeth in just over an hour while you relax at your dentist’s office. It’s ideal for anyone who wants immediate results.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Let us know at any appointment if you want to whiten your teeth. Depending on how much you show when you talk and smile, you can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower.

Your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up in only a day or two. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. Only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile when your teeth reach the desired brightness. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.

Dental whitening can correct tooth discoloration, which can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage. Using the latest in whitening technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of whitening treatments, teeth whitening is nearly always worth a solid try.

How is teeth whitening done?

Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening

  • Corrects brown, yellow, and spotted tooth staining
  • Works on people of any age
  • It is a near-permanent solution for a “dull” smile, restoring brightness and bringing a smile alive

An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and significant whitening will occur at the end of this time. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging, or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or dental veneers may be more appropriate.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.
