Teeth Whitening in Hayward, CA

Why Whiten with a Dentist?

Over-the-counter products can be weak or cause sensitivity if misused. Professional whitening is customized, effective, and monitored, helping you reach brighter results safely.

Common Causes of Staining

Coffee/tea, red wine, smoking, certain medications, and natural aging can all darken teeth over time.

Your Whitening Options

  • In-Office Whitening:
    Fast, dramatic results in about 60–90 minutes. Great for events and makeovers.
  • Custom Take-Home Trays:
    Flexible, controlled whitening over 1–2 weeks with trays made to fit your smile.
  • Combo Approach:
    Do in-office first, then maintain with custom trays.

What to Expect

  1. Shade check & exam: Ensure whitening is right for you
  2. Prep & protect: Gums and lips are isolated for comfort
  3. Whitening application: Professional gel applied in cycles
  4. Rinse & reveal: Review your new shade and maintenance tips

Will Whitening Work for Me?

  • Does not change color of crowns, veneers, or fillings (we can discuss replacement to match)
  • We’ll treat sensitivity proactively with desensitizers and pacing

Keep Your Smile Bright

  • Rinse after coffee, tea, or wine
  • Use a straw for dark beverages
  • Brush and floss daily; schedule routine cleanings
