Our Whitening Treatments

We offer two professional whitening options so you can choose what fits your schedule and preferences.

In-Office Whitening

Our in-office whitening treatment uses a professional-strength whitening gel applied under controlled conditions for dramatic results in a single visit. The entire appointment takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and most patients see their teeth lighten several shades.

  • Results in one visit
  • Professional-strength whitening gel
  • Supervised by Dr. Bhatia
  • Ideal for events, special occasions, or a quick confidence boost

Take-Home Whitening Trays

For patients who prefer to whiten on their own schedule, we create custom-fitted trays from impressions of your teeth. You apply the professional whitening gel at home for 30 minutes to an hour each day, gradually brightening your smile over 1 to 2 weeks.

  • Custom trays for a precise, comfortable fit
  • Whiten at your convenience
  • Gradual, natural-looking results
  • Great for touch-ups after in-office treatment

What to Expect During In-Office Whitening

1

Dental Exam

Dr. Bhatia examines your teeth and gums to make sure you are a good candidate for whitening. Any existing issues like cavities are addressed first.

2

Preparation

We protect your gums and soft tissues, then apply the professional whitening gel directly to your teeth.

3

Whitening Treatment

The gel is activated and left in place for the recommended time. Depending on the system used, this may involve multiple short cycles.

4

Results

The gel is removed and you can see your brighter smile immediately. Dr. Bhatia will provide aftercare instructions to maintain your results.

Why Choose Professional Whitening?

Over-the-counter products can help with minor surface stains, but professional whitening delivers results that drugstore options simply cannot match.

Stronger Results

Professional whitening uses higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter strips or toothpastes, delivering noticeably better results.

Safe and Supervised

Dr. Bhatia evaluates your teeth and gums before treatment to ensure whitening is right for you. We protect sensitive areas and monitor the entire process.

Faster Treatment

In-office whitening delivers results in one appointment. Even take-home trays work faster than store-bought products thanks to professional-grade gel.

Longer Lasting

Professional whitening penetrates deeper than surface-level products. With proper care, results can last a year or more, and touch-ups are easy with your custom trays.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Professional whitening works best for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to address discoloration or staining. Good candidates include:

  • Yellow or discolored teeth from aging, coffee, tea, or wine
  • Surface stains from foods and beverages
  • Patients looking to brighten their smile before a wedding, reunion, or special event
  • Anyone who wants a confidence boost from a whiter smile
  • Patients with healthy teeth and gums (no untreated cavities or gum disease)

Teeth Whitening FAQs

How white will my teeth get?
Results vary depending on the type and severity of staining, but most patients see their teeth lighten by several shades. Dr. Bhatia will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation based on your specific situation.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Professional teeth whitening is one of the safest cosmetic dental procedures available. We use ADA-approved products and take precautions to protect your gums and soft tissues during treatment.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening, which typically resolves within a few days. We can adjust the concentration or recommend a desensitizing toothpaste to minimize discomfort.
How long do whitening results last?
With proper care, professional whitening results can last 1 to 3 years. Avoiding staining foods and beverages (coffee, red wine, berries) and using your custom take-home trays for occasional touch-ups helps maintain your results.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening treatments work on natural tooth enamel and will not change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have visible restorations, Dr. Bhatia can discuss options to ensure an even, natural-looking result.
What is the difference between professional whitening and whitening strips?
Over-the-counter whitening strips use a lower concentration of active ingredients and a one-size-fits-all approach. Professional whitening uses custom trays (or in-office application) with stronger, more effective products. The result is faster, more even whitening with less risk of gum irritation.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
The cost depends on the type of treatment you choose. Contact our office at (714) 998-4151 for pricing details. We also offer financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and other options to make cosmetic treatments affordable.
How do I maintain my whitening results?
Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit us for routine cleanings. Limit coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods. Use a straw for staining beverages when possible. Periodic touch-ups with your custom take-home trays will keep your smile bright.
