Teeth Whitening is the Shortest Route to a Bright Smile

The teeth have a porous structure and can become stained over time. This is most often due to the regular consumption of coffee, tea, red wine or the daily use of tobacco. Discoloration can also occur as a result of a medical condition and/or the treatment which it requires. Additionally, with age, the teeth become dull and can take on a yellowish color.


No matter what the cause of the problem is, we provide a professional solution. You will receive teeth whitening treatment carried out by an experienced specialist. This in-office treatment, formally known as bleaching, is quick and effective. Our goal is to provide top-quality teeth whitening services in Carmichael to everyone who wants to improve their looks.

The Major Advantages of In-Office Bleaching

Our teeth whitening system is designed especially to be applied by a qualified professional. The treatment is faster compared even to the most potent product for home use. A whitening product must be applied with care which is why a professional whitening product can be stronger than a product you use at home. 


Usually, you will get the desired results within a single visit to our office; the visit generally lasts no more than an hour. If you have an important family or business event coming up or you are going out for a special event with friends and want to make the best impression, this is the way to shine.

    Follow the recommendations that you will receive after your treatment to maintain your results for as long as possible. We will advise you on how to prevent new stains from taking away your nice white smile.

Who Is a Candidate for Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening delivers the best results when the right criteria are met. Below are the ideal candidates, along with some situations where whitening may not be the best option.

  • Good Candidates

    • Adults with generally healthy teeth and gums, free of active decay and untreated gum disease.

    • Those whose tooth discoloration is primarily extrinsic (surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, aging) rather than being deeply internal due to trauma, medications, or genetic factors.

    • Patients with minimal or no visible restorations (crowns, veneers, bridges) on their front teeth, or who are willing to match restorations after whitening, because restorations do not whiten along with natural tooth enamel.

    • Individuals with realistic expectations, willing to follow post-whitening care, and who understand how lifestyle affects the longevity of results.

  • When Whitening May be Delayed or Changed

    • If you have untreated cavities, large failing restorations, or active gum disease, these issues should typically be addressed before cosmetic whitening.

    • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or under a certain age (often less than 16 or yet to fully finish permanent tooth development) may be advised to wait.

    • If your front teeth have crowns, veneers, or fillings that are visible when you smile. Whitening will alter natural teeth but not those restorations. This may lead to mismatched shades unless restorations are updated.

    • For patients whose discoloration is intrinsic (deep inside the tooth structure) due to trauma, tetracycline use, or other causes, whitening may not achieve desired results, and other cosmetic treatments (such as veneers) might be recommended.

Bottom line: A consultation with your dentist will determine whether you are an ideal candidate for professional whitening, or whether pre-treatment and/or alternative cosmetic options would give you a better outcome.

FAQ: Common Questions About Professional Teeth Whitening

  • How Long Does the Whitening Treatment Take?

    Most in-office professional whitening treatments take about 45 to 60 minutes, although the total visit (consultation + prep + treatment) may be longer.

  • How Much Whiter Will My Teeth Get?

    Results depend on your starting shade, type of stains, and your dental history, but many patients see improvement of several shades lighter soon after treatment.

  • Is Whitening Safe? Will It Damage My Teeth?

    When professionally supervised, whitening is considered safe for appropriate candidates. Temporary sensitivity is common, but long-term damage is unlikely when done under dental supervision.

  • How Long Do the Results Last?

    Results vary by patient and habits (diet, smoking, oral hygiene). Many patients enjoy their brighter smile for 6-24 months or longer, with occasional touch-ups helping extend longevity.

  • Will Whitening Work on My Crowns, Veneers, or Fillings?

    No — tooth whitening only affects natural tooth enamel and dentin. Restorative materials such as crowns, bridges, or veneers will not whiten, so if these are visible in your smile zone, you may need to plan restoration replacement or shade matching post-whitening.

  • Are There Any Habits That Can Shorten the Longevity of the Results?

    Yes — consumption of dark-colored foods/drinks (coffee, tea, red wine), smoking or chewing tobacco, and poor oral hygiene can cause staining to return faster. Using whitening-friendly toothpaste and regular check-ups help maintain results.

  • How Do I Know If I Should Get Whitening Now or Wait?

    If you’re preparing for a major life event (wedding, job interview, milestone photos), whitening ahead of time is a great idea. But if you have untreated dental issues (decay, gum disease), it’s best to have those addressed first. Your dentist will advise you on timing.
