Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening in Encinitas can lift stains from frequent coffee consumption, certain medications, and even the natural aging process. So, if your pearly whites are no longer living up to their name, you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule a consultation at our office! From there, we can complete a comprehensive oral exam, learn about your smile goals, and determine if this is the best cosmetic dentistry treatment for you.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

At our office, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. So, the process doesn’t look the same for everyone. The good news is that you can learn a little more about each below to help you decide which one is best for you!

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Do you want to achieve the results of an in-office treatment on your own time? If so, you should consider take-home teeth whitening! We’ll provide you with everything you need, including a high-quality, safe, and powerful brightening gel, so you can achieve the desired results from the comfort of your own home.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you have an important event coming up, like a graduation, then you may not have 2+ weeks to wait for the results. Fortunately, in-office treatments can brighten your teeth by up to eight shades in as little as an hour! Not only that, but we will handle the entire process, so you can relax comfortably in the treatment chair.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
