Professional Teeth Whitening

Brighten your smile by several shades with safe, professionally supervised whitening, in-office or take-home.

About this service

Professional teeth whitening at our practice uses dental-grade peroxide systems that lift years of accumulated staining under a dentist’s supervision. We offer two paths: a chair-side session that delivers visible results in a single visit, or custom-fit take-home trays you wear at your own pace. Both are tailored to your enamel, sensitivity, and cosmetic goals.

Professional Teeth Whitening is one of the cosmetic services we provide at our Corona Del Mar dental practice, close to home for patients in Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Balboa Island, Costa Mesa, and Irvine. Dr. Younesi takes the time to listen, evaluate, and explain every option before treatment begins. Learn more about Dr. Younesi or contact our office with any questions.

Whitening FAQs

Common questions about whitening.

Don’t see your question? Call us at (949) 409-9895 and we will get you a clear answer.

Is professional whitening safe for enamel?
Supervised whitening has a long safety record. The peroxide we use breaks down into water and oxygen, and current evidence does not show clinically meaningful enamel damage at professionally supervised concentrations. The most common side effects are temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, which usually settle within a few days. We screen for cracked teeth, untreated decay, and gum recession before bleaching so your result is as comfortable as possible.
How white can my teeth get?
Many patients lift somewhere in the range of four to eight shades, though results vary with the type and cause of staining. Genetics, age, medications, and existing crowns or fillings all matter, and deeper intrinsic staining responds differently than surface staining. We will show you a realistic shade target before we begin.
