Professional Teeth Whitening in Brentwood
A brighter smile in about an hour.
Coffee, tea, red wine and time all take a toll on the color of your teeth. Professional whitening at Concierge Dentistry safely lifts years of stains, giving you a noticeably brighter, more confident smile, with results you can see the same day.
Two ways to whiten
Sapphire in-office whitening: $500
Our fastest option. In a single visit of about an hour, a professional-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a specialized light. You’ll relax in a massage chair with a warm blanket and your choice of music or streaming entertainment while it works. Most patients leave with teeth several shades whiter.
For a small additional cost, add custom whitening trays to keep your results bright at home.
Custom take-home whitening
Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? We’ll make trays fitted precisely to your teeth and provide professional-strength gel to use at home. You’ll see gradual results over a couple of weeks, at your own pace.
Why professional whitening is worth it
Store-bought strips and kits use weaker formulas and one-size-fits-all trays, so results are often uneven, and gel can irritate your gums. Professional whitening is:
Faster: visible results in one visit instead of weeks
More even: custom application reaches every tooth surface
Safer: your gums are protected, and your dentist supervises the process
Longer lasting: results can last up to two years with simple upkeep
Is whitening right for you?
Whitening works best on natural teeth with yellow or brown surface stains from food, drinks, tobacco or aging. Before whitening, we’ll check that your teeth and gums are healthy, since cavities or gum problems should be treated first.
A few things to know:
Crowns, veneers and fillings don’t whiten. If you have visible dental work, we’ll plan your whitening so everything matches. That may mean whitening first, then updating older restorations to your new shade.
Some stains are deeper. Gray discoloration or stains from medication or injury may not respond fully to whitening. In those cases, porcelain veneers can give you the bright, even smile you want. Learn about cosmetic dentistry →
Whitening isn’t recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Common questions
Does whitening hurt?
Most people feel little or no discomfort. Some experience temporary sensitivity for a day or two afterward. We can recommend a desensitizing toothpaste or gel, and we adjust the treatment if your teeth tend to be sensitive.
How long do results last?
Results can last up to two years, depending on habits like coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco. Touching up once a month with your custom trays keeps your smile bright.
Will whitening damage my enamel?
No. When done professionally, whitening is safe for your enamel. That’s one reason we recommend it over unsupervised store-bought products.
How soon can I eat and drink normally?
For the first 48 hours, avoid dark foods and drinks like coffee, red wine and berries, while your teeth are most likely to pick up new stains.
Can I whiten before a special event?
Yes. In-office whitening is a popular choice before weddings, photos and big occasions. We recommend scheduling at least a few days ahead so any temporary sensitivity has time to settle.
