A Radiant Smile
with Teeth Bleaching Services
in San Diego
Professional teeth whitening is a safe, dentist-supervised treatment designed to brighten your smile by removing deep stains that regular toothpaste, strips, or home kits cannot reach.
Using concentrated whitening gels and advanced light-activation systems, this process whitens your teeth several shades in a short period often in a single appointment.
What Causes Tooth Staining?
Tooth discoloration can develop for many reasons. Drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine gradually darken the enamel, while smoking and tobacco products leave deeper, more stubborn stains.
Aging also plays a role as enamel becomes thinner over time, teeth naturally appear more yellow. In some cases, certain medications or genetics can make teeth look darker regardless of oral hygiene.
Professional teeth whitening targets these different types of stains at their source, lifting pigments that regular toothpaste and over-the-counter products can’t remove

Frequently Asked
Question
Yes. Dentist-supervised whitening uses controlled formulas that protect enamel while lifting stains.
Most patients enjoy brighter teeth for 6 to 24 months, depending on their habits. Coffee, tea, wine, and smoking can shorten results, while good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups help extend brightness.
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity, but it usually fades within 24–48 hours. We use enamel-safe gels, protective coatings, and desensitizing agents to reduce discomfort during and after treatment, even for patients with naturally sensitive teeth.
No. Whitening only affects natural enamel. If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings on front teeth, we can recommend alternatives to help match their shade to your newly whitened teeth.
Over-the-counter kits use weaker formulas and whitening strips that don’t reach deeper stains. Professional whitening delivers stronger, faster, and more even results, with lower sensitivity and longer-lasting brightness making it a better choice for patients seeking noticeable changes.
