Teeth Whitening in Pico Rivera

Teeth Whitening in Pico Rivera

Teeth whitening is a very popular cosmetic dentistry procedure that aims at improving your tooth’s appearance by restoring enamel to its natural color- white.

Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening performed in our office is far more powerful and effective than the treatments found at your local drug or grocery store.

Teeth whitening treatments performed in our dentist's office are guaranteed to whiten your teeth by at least a few shades. The severity of the discoloration on your teeth will determine how many appointments you will need until your they are completely whitened. 

Common Causes of Discoloration

There are many sources of teeth discoloration, so we will only cover some of the most common culprits:
  • Coffee
  • Soda
  • Wine
  • Bad oral hygiene
  • Dark berries
  • Tea
  • Tobacco (or smoking in general)
Teeth whitening attempts to correct stains and damage that have accumulated over time from consumption of specific foods and drinks.

A brighter smile can make a real difference in how confident you feel — and it's one of the fastest cosmetic improvements available. At Pico Rivera Dental Smiles, we offer professional teeth whitening designed to noticeably brighten your smile in a single office visit, using professional-strength whitening not available in over-the-counter products.

Results vary depending on your starting shade and the cause of any staining (coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or natural aging all respond differently to whitening), but most patients see a noticeable improvement after their first treatment. We'll talk through realistic expectations for your specific smile during your visit.


Frequently Asked Questions

Does teeth whitening hurt?

Some patients experience mild, temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening, which typically resolves within a day or two.

How long do whitening results last?

Results typically last several months to a year, depending on diet and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding staining foods/drinks and touch-up treatments can extend results.

Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?

No — whitening only affects natural tooth enamel, not existing crowns, veneers, or bonding, which will not change color. This is worth discussing before treatment if you have existing restorations on visible teeth.
