Professional Teeth Whitening in Pasadena, CA

We offer professional teeth whitening to safely and effectively lift stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco and natural aging—restoring the brightness of your smile with noticeable results.

We offer two options for teeth whitening:

  • In-office teeth whitening provides dramatic results in just one visit, using a powerful yet gentle whitening gel applied by our dental team. In about 60–90 minutes, you can enjoy a visibly whiter, refreshed smile with minimal sensitivity.
  • Take-home whitening trays are custom-made for a comfortable fit and allow you to whiten gradually over one to two weeks. This flexible option puts you in control of your results, all from the comfort of home.

 

Whether you’re looking for fast, professional treatment or a more gradual approach, we have the teeth whitening solution that’s right for you.

01.

Process

Consultation: Your teeth whitening experience starts with a personalized consultation, during which we assess your oral health, understand your goals, and recommend the best whitening option for you. This visit may also include a professional cleaning to remove surface stains and prepare your teeth for more even, effective results.

In-Office Whitening: Our in-office whitening treatment delivers noticeable results in just a single visit. We protect your gums with a barrier, apply a powerful whitening gel, and may use a specialized light to boost stain removal—brightening your smile in about 60–90 minutes.

Take-Home Whitening Kit: If you prefer a gradual approach, our take-home kit includes custom trays and professional-strength whitening gel. Worn daily over 1–2 weeks, it offers flexibility and control as you whiten your smile comfortably from home.

Next Steps

Manage Sensitivity: Use your custom-fitted trays with sensitivity gel for 2–4 hours to help soothe and protect sensitive teeth before whitening.

Gradual Whitening at Home: Once sensitivity is under control, begin your at-home whitening treatment using either 15% or 35% gel, based on your dentist’s recommendation.

Minimize Staining: Drink staining beverages through a straw to limit contact with your teeth and help preserve your results.

Avoid Staining Foods & Drinks: For the first 48 hours, avoid foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, berries and tomato-based sauces that can discolor freshly whitened teeth.

No Smoking or Tobacco: Refrain from using any tobacco products, as they can quickly stain and compromise your whitening results.
