Whiter teeth are the most requested cosmetic treatment we hear about from patients, and for good reason. Teeth whitening can correct a wide range of concerns, including:

• Normal wear and tear from daily life
• Discoloration caused by certain medications
• Yellowing that comes with age
• Common staining from nicotine, coffee, tea, and wine
• Fluorosis and other developmental discoloration

No matter the cause, our team will help you find the whitening approach that fits your needs and your smile goals.

‍

For most patients, we recommend a custom take-home bleaching system. This approach is convenient because most of the whitening process occurs in the comfort of your own home, and it delivers noticeably brighter results than anything available over the counter.

The process typically involves two visits to our Pacific Heights office. During your first visit, your dentist will take precise impressions of your mouth. These molds are used to create custom whitening trays designed specifically for your teeth.

At your second visit, you will try on your new trays so your dentist can check the fit and comfort. Any adjustments are made on the spot, and your dentist will walk you through exactly how to use your at-home whitening system.

Once you are ready to begin, you will fill your trays with a professional-strength whitening solution. Depending on your personalized plan, you may wear the trays for about 30 minutes twice a day or overnight while you sleep. Some patients notice mild tooth sensitivity during treatment. This is a normal, temporary response, but please call our office if you experience unusual pain or gum redness.

Modern Technology and a Comfortable Experience

We use digital imaging and precise mold techniques to make sure your whitening trays fit comfortably and deliver even, consistent results. Our team takes the time to answer your questions at every step, from your first consultation through your final reveal, so you always know what to expect.

Once you complete your regimen, you are ready to enjoy your refreshed smile. Patients consistently tell us how thrilled they are with their teeth whitening San Francisco results, and many say it is one of the most satisfying treatments they have had at our office.

Keep in mind that whitening results are not permanent. Most patients need a touch-up treatment every few years to maintain their brightness. Limiting stain-causing habits like drinking coffee, red wine, and using tobacco will help your results last longer. Pairing your whitening with good daily oral hygiene and regular checkups with your dentist in San Francisco is the best way to keep your smile looking its best.
