Teeth Whitening in Beverly Hills
Achieve a Brilliant, Confident Smile with Professional Whitening
Teeth whitening is a safe, effective cosmetic dental treatment that removes stains and discoloration to brighten your smile. This popular procedure can lighten teeth several shades in just one appointment or gradually at home. At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I offer advanced professional whitening solutions that deliver dramatic, lasting results far superior to over-the-counter products available throughout Los Angeles.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening uses high-concentration bleaching agents to remove deep stains and lighten tooth enamel. These medical-grade formulas contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in strengths unavailable in drugstore products. Specifically, professional treatments penetrate tooth enamel to break down discoloration molecules at a chemical level. The result is noticeably whiter, brighter teeth that enhance your entire appearance.
This professional approach differs significantly from over-the-counter whitening strips or toothpastes. While drugstore products use low concentrations that provide minimal results, professional treatments deliver dramatic whitening in less time. Furthermore, dentist-supervised whitening ensures even results without damaging teeth or gums. As a result, you achieve a bright, natural-looking smile safely and predictably. Additionally, professional whitening addresses stubborn stains that resist home remedies completely.
Teeth whitening effectively treats various types of discoloration. It works beautifully on yellowing from aging, coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco stains. Additionally, it lightens general dullness that develops over time. However, whitening doesn’t work on crowns, veneers, or fillings—only natural tooth enamel. Moreover, intrinsic stains from certain medications or fluorosis may require alternative treatments. Patients from West Hollywood, Century City, and throughout Beverly Hills choose professional whitening when they want fast, dramatic results they can trust.
The Teeth Whitening Treatment Process
Your whitening journey begins with a comprehensive examination at Smile Angels of Beverly Hills. First, I evaluate your teeth and gums to ensure you’re a good candidate for whitening. Then, we discuss your current shade and desired results. Next, I explain your whitening options, including in-office treatment versus take-home systems. This consultation ensures we select the approach that best fits your lifestyle and goals.
For in-office whitening, I begin by protecting your gums and soft tissues with a barrier. Then, I apply professional-strength whitening gel to your tooth surfaces carefully. Some systems use a special light to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process. The gel remains on your teeth for 15 to 20 minutes, then I remove it and reapply fresh gel. This process repeats two to three times during your appointment. Most patients throughout Los Angeles see their teeth lighten six to eight shades in just one visit.
Alternatively, take-home whitening provides gradual results using custom-fitted trays. I create personalized trays from impressions of your teeth for optimal fit and comfort. You’ll receive professional whitening gel to use at home following my specific instructions. Typically, you wear the trays for 30 minutes to two hours daily for one to two weeks. This method offers convenience and flexibility for busy Beverly Hills and Century City patients. Both approaches deliver beautiful, long-lasting results when maintained properly with good oral hygiene.
Teeth Whitening Cost and Financing
The investment in professional teeth whitening varies based on the treatment method you choose. In-office whitening typically costs more than take-home systems due to immediate, dramatic results and chairside supervision. However, both options provide superior value compared to endless purchases of ineffective drugstore products. Professional whitening delivers results that last one to three years with proper maintenance. Therefore, it represents an excellent investment in your appearance and confidence.
At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I’m committed to making professional whitening accessible to everyone. Consequently, we offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options for patients throughout Los Angeles. Many people choose whitening as an affordable entry point into cosmetic dentistry. Most dental insurance plans don’t cover cosmetic whitening, but our financing makes it manageable. I encourage you to schedule a free consultation where we can assess your teeth and discuss the most cost-effective whitening approach for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening typically lasts one to three years, depending on your lifestyle and oral habits. Patients who avoid staining foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco maintain results longer. Additionally, good oral hygiene including regular brushing and professional cleanings extends whitening longevity. Many patients throughout Beverly Hills return for touch-up treatments annually to maintain their bright smiles. At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I can recommend a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs and habits.
No, professional teeth whitening doesn’t damage tooth enamel when performed correctly under dental supervision. The bleaching agents temporarily open enamel pores to remove stains, then those pores close naturally. However, overuse of whitening products or using them improperly can cause sensitivity or irritation. This is why professional treatment at our Beverly Hills office is safer than unsupervised home remedies. I monitor your treatment carefully to ensure optimal results without harming your teeth or gums.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during professional teeth whitening. However, some people develop temporary tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures afterward. This sensitivity typically resolves within a few days without intervention. If you have sensitive teeth already, I can recommend desensitizing treatments before whitening. Additionally, I may adjust the whitening concentration or duration to minimize discomfort. Patients from West Hollywood and Century City consistently report that any minor sensitivity is well worth the dramatic results.
Yes, yellow teeth respond exceptionally well to professional whitening treatments. Yellowing caused by aging, food, beverages, and tobacco lifts easily with bleaching agents. In fact, yellow stains are typically the easiest type of discoloration to remove. However, gray or brown tones may prove more resistant to whitening. Additionally, discoloration from certain medications or excessive fluoride may require alternative treatments like veneers. During your consultation at Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I’ll evaluate your specific discoloration and recommend the most effective solution.
Most patients achieve six to eight shades whiter with in-office professional whitening. Take-home systems typically produce four to six shades of improvement over two weeks. However, individual results vary based on your starting shade and type of discoloration. Some patients naturally have whiter teeth than others due to genetics and enamel thickness. Furthermore, teeth have limits to how white they can become naturally. During your free consultation, I’ll show you shade guides and discuss realistic expectations for your beautiful new smile in Beverly Hills.
