Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional Teeth Whitening in North Hollywood, CA
What’s the Difference Between Professional and Store Bought Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is an in-office cosmetic dental treatment designed to safely and noticeably brighten your teeth in a short amount of time. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional whitening uses higher-strength whitening agents that are carefully applied and monitored by a cosmetic dentist.
This treatment is ideal for patients who want fast, visible results without guessing which products will work. Because whitening is done under professional supervision, results are more even, controlled, and predictable.
Patients often choose our office for teeth whitening because they value a team that is approachable, honest, and attentive. We focus on clear communication, gentle care, and making sure you understand your options before any treatment begins.
What Teeth Whitening Can and Can’t Do
Professional teeth whitening is highly effective at removing surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, and the natural aging process. Over time, enamel can lose its brightness even with good brushing and flossing habits, making teeth appear dull or yellow. In-office whitening works by lifting these stains from the enamel to restore a brighter, cleaner-looking smile.
It’s important to understand that whitening only affects natural tooth structure. Crowns, veneers, and fillings will not change color with whitening treatment. If you have existing dental work, we’ll review how whitening may affect the overall appearance of your smile and discuss whether additional cosmetic options, such as bonding or veneers, would create a more even and consistent result. Our goal is always to recommend the option that looks natural and makes the most sense for your specific situation.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Results Last?
The longevity of teeth whitening results varies from patient to patient. In general, results can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on diet, habits, and oral hygiene. Frequent exposure to staining foods and drinks can shorten how long whitening lasts.
Maintaining good oral hygiene, scheduling regular cleanings, and being mindful of staining habits can help extend your results. Some patients choose occasional touch-ups to keep their smile consistently bright. During your visit, we’ll share practical guidance on how to maintain your whitening results without making your routine complicated.
How Do I Get Started On My Teeth Whitening Journey?
Getting started with professional teeth whitening begins with a cosmetic consultation. During this visit, we evaluate your oral health, talk through your goals, and confirm that in-office whitening is the right choice for your smile. If another cosmetic option would better suit your needs, we’ll explain why and walk you through alternatives.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does professional teeth whitening really work?
Yes. Professional teeth whitening is one of the most effective ways to brighten natural teeth. In-office treatments use stronger whitening agents than over-the-counter products and are carefully monitored to lift stains from the enamel safely and evenly. Most patients notice a visible difference after just one visit.
Q: How long does professional teeth whitening last compared to purple whitening strips on social media?
Professional teeth whitening results last months to over a year because the whitening agents penetrate the enamel and remove stains from within the tooth. In contrast, many viral purple whitening strips seen on social media only use surface color-correcting pigments to temporarily mask yellow tones. Because they don’t actually whiten the enamel, the effect often fades within hours or by the end of the day. Professional whitening and custom take-home kits deliver deeper, longer-lasting results you can actually maintain.
Q: Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes. When performed by a dental professional, teeth whitening is considered safe for patients with healthy teeth and gums. Before treatment, we evaluate your oral health to ensure whitening is appropriate and adjust the process if you have a history of sensitivity. Professional supervision helps minimize irritation and protects your gums throughout treatment.
Q: Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity after whitening, but it is usually mild and short-lived. We take steps to reduce sensitivity during treatment and can recommend ways to manage it afterward. Most patients find any sensitivity resolves within a few days.
Q: Does teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
No. Teeth whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. Existing dental work such as crowns, veneers, and fillings will not change color. If you have visible restorations, we’ll discuss how whitening may affect the overall appearance of your smile and whether other cosmetic options would provide a more even result.
Q: Is professional whitening better than store-bought whitening kits?
Professional whitening offers more consistent, controlled, and noticeable results than over-the-counter products. Store-bought kits often contain lower-strength whitening agents and can cause uneven results or irritation when misused. In-office whitening is customized to your smile and supervised for safety and effectiveness.
