Professional Whitening That Actually Works

Over time, teeth naturally become discolored from coffee, tea, wine, certain foods, aging, and lifestyle factors. While over-the-counter whitening products offer modest results, professional teeth whitening at Peninsula Dentistry uses clinical-grade formulations that deliver dramatically brighter, more even results in a fraction of the time.

We offer two proven whitening options: Zoom in-office whitening for immediate, same-day results up to 8 shades lighter, and custom take-home kits with professional-strength gel and precision-fitted trays for gradual whitening on your schedule. Both options are far more effective and safer than anything you can buy at a drugstore.

Whether you have a special event coming up or simply want to refresh your everyday smile, our team will help you choose the right approach and achieve stunning results you will love.

Professional Teeth Cleaning

A thorough cleaning removes surface stains, plaque, and tartar so the whitening gel can penetrate evenly for optimal, uniform results.

Whitening Application

For in-office Zoom whitening, a professional-strength gel is applied and activated with a special light in 15-minute cycles. For take-home kits, we create custom-fitted trays with professional-grade gel.

How white can my teeth get?

Results vary by individual, but most patients achieve 4 to 8 shades brighter with professional in-office whitening. The final result depends on your natural tooth color, the type of staining, and the whitening method chosen. During your consultation, we will give you a realistic expectation of what professional whitening can achieve for your specific smile.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional whitening results typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on your diet and oral habits. Foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can gradually re-stain teeth over time. Using a take-home touch-up kit every few months and maintaining good oral hygiene will help extend your results significantly.

Is teeth whitening safe for sensitive teeth?

Yes, professional whitening is safe even for patients with sensitivity. We use desensitizing agents before and after treatment, and we can adjust the concentration and application time to minimize any discomfort. Custom take-home kits with lower-concentration gel are an excellent option for patients with heightened sensitivity.

In-office vs. take-home whitening: which is better?

Both options deliver professional-grade results. In-office Zoom whitening is ideal if you want dramatic results in about an hour, perfect for upcoming events. Take-home kits offer a more gradual whitening experience over 1 to 2 weeks with the flexibility to whiten on your schedule. Many patients combine both for maximum impact and easy maintenance.
