Professional whitening your way: dramatic same-day results with Zoom in-office whitening, or custom take-home trays on your own schedule.
A brighter smile is one of the simplest ways to look refreshed, and professional whitening delivers results that drugstore strips and toothpastes cannot match. Because we supervise your treatment, it is both stronger and safer, with care taken to protect your gums and manage sensitivity.
For the fastest transformation, we offer Zoom in-office whitening (Philips Zoom). After protecting your gums and lips, a professional-strength whitening gel is applied in short, supervised sessions. Most patients walk out noticeably brighter, often by several shades, in about an hour, which makes it a favorite before weddings, reunions, and photos.
Prefer to whiten gradually at home? We also offer custom take-home whitening using trays made precisely for your teeth. You whiten on your own schedule over a week or two with professional-strength gel, which gives even, controlled results and lets you touch up whenever you like. Many patients pair the two, using trays to maintain their in-office results.
Before whitening, we make sure your teeth and gums are healthy, since whitening works best on a clean, cavity-free mouth. We also set realistic expectations: whitening lightens natural teeth beautifully, but it does not change the color of existing fillings, crowns, or veneers, which is something we plan around for a uniform result.
A short visit to confirm your teeth are healthy, then either a single supervised Zoom session in the chair or custom trays with professional gel to use at home, always with our guidance.

Patients with healthy teeth and gums who want a brighter smile. Choose Zoom in-office whitening if you want same-day results for a wedding, reunion, or event, or take-home trays if you prefer gradual whitening you control.
Professional whitening is stronger, safer, and more predictable than anything over the counter, and with both Zoom in-office treatment and custom take-home trays, we tailor the approach to your smile, your timeline, and your budget.
Whitening is a cosmetic service and is generally not covered by insurance. We will give you the cost of each option up front so you can choose what fits your goals and budget.
Zoom (Philips Zoom) is a professional whitening treatment done right in our office. We protect your gums and lips, then apply professional-strength gel in short, supervised sessions. Most patients leave noticeably brighter after about an hour.
Most patients lighten by several shades. Results vary with your starting color and the type of staining, and we will give you a realistic expectation before you begin.
Whitening lightens natural tooth structure but not existing fillings, crowns, or veneers. If you have visible dental work, we plan around it so your smile ends up uniform.
Some patients notice temporary sensitivity. Because we supervise your treatment, we can adjust the strength, schedule, and technique to keep you comfortable.
New patients are always welcome. Request an appointment online or call our Walnut Creek office and our friendly team will take care of the rest.
