What is Teeth Whitening

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a process that can be completed in our dental office or with a custom take-home kit provided by our dentist. During treatment, we remove the stains from your teeth so your smile looks brighter and more natural. The process also lifts natural discoloration, giving you whiter teeth than you had previously. The two options we offer are in-office same-day whitening and take-home custom trays, and both work extremely well. Our team discusses the pros and cons of each so you can choose based on your goals and your timeframe.

The Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Superior Results

Professional treatments penetrate deeper into the enamel than any store-bought product, lifting even stubborn stains for noticeable and genuinely lasting results.

Safety First

Our professional-grade gels are formulated to minimize sensitivity and protect your gums, and our team monitors your progress and adjusts the treatment as needed.

Personalized Care

Every smile is different, so we customize each treatment to address your own specific needs and goals rather than applying one standard protocol to every patient.

Boosted Confidence

A bright white smile does wonders for self-confidence, from getting ready for one special occasion to simply enhancing the way that you look every day of the week.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Personalized Consultation

    One of our skilled dentists assesses your oral health, discusses your goals, and confirms that whitening is the right choice for you right now.

  2. 02

    Professional Cleaning

    A dental cleaning just before your treatment removes surface buildup so the whitening gel can target the deeper stains that are sitting underneath.

  3. 03

    Custom Plan

    We create a fully customized treatment plan designed to deliver the maximum results while keeping any tooth sensitivity down to a bare minimum.

  4. 04

    In-Office Whitening

    A powerful professional whitening gel is applied to your teeth, and a special light may be used to activate it and accelerate the whitening process.

  5. 05

    Take-Home Option

    Custom-fitted trays and professional-grade gel let you continue at home, with detailed instructions for safe and effective use of the kit itself.

Signs You May Need Teeth Whitening

Deep Staining

Coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco have left behind deep stains that regular brushing at home no longer seems to touch at all anymore these days.

Natural Darkening

Your teeth have gradually absorbed stains over the course of years and decades, leaving your smile noticeably darker than it once used to be.

Special Occasion

A wedding, a reunion, or another big event is coming up soon, and you want your smile looking its absolute brightest for that one big occasion.

Upcoming Restorations

You are planning crowns or veneers and want to whiten beforehand so that your new restorations will match the brighter shade that you choose.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “My first visit to Gardena Dental Group was most pleasant. I was fearful because I am not a fan of needles, drills or that burning smell that lingers after root canals and crowns. In spite of this, I was assured by a wise woman who had been a patient for several years - along with her husband -, that this would be, "The BEST Decision I Would Make Today." Thankfully, she was right 💐 Upon arrival, I was assisted by Jessica who aided me through the paperwork as well as my treatment plan and next appointment. Soon after completing the paperwork, I was called in for my x-rays and consultation. I was elated to hear that I only needed a permanent crown (to replace the temporary one I had from a previous dental procedure) and a filling on the opposite side. Tatiana and Dr. Tounian were Knowledgeable and Compassionate throughout my consultation; this made it easy to ask questions about the treatment plan and how to continue keeping my smile healthy and bright 😁 My second visit was even better than the first. I was taken through the procedures I was to have, asked if I had any questions or concerns, then the assistant made preparations for the Doctor to work his magic 🪄 I was elated by the timely manner, professionalism and care taken by the entire Dental Team (knowing how nervous I was about the needle - for numbing the area - and the drill for the crown & filling). I fell asleep a few times during the process, that's how comfortable I was 😊 I look forward to returning to get fitted for my permanent crown and later my mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding. I Love My New Dentist and His Extraordinary Team ✨” — ALIKANDRIA

You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (310) 366-7666.

Should I have my teeth cleaned before whitening?

Yes, plan to have your dental cleaning just before a whitening treatment. That way the gel targets the deep stains rather than the surface buildup.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

When used as directed, whitening products are extremely safe and gentle, though temporary sensitivity can happen. A sensitivity toothpaste or fluoride rinse helps, and take-home users can whiten every other day instead.

Am I a good candidate for whitening?

Good candidates want whiter teeth and have healthy teeth and gums with no active cavities or gum infections. Whitening is ideal for adults of all ages and older teens, though we recommend avoiding it while nursing.

How much does teeth whitening in Gardena, CA, cost?

The cost varies depending on whether you choose in-office treatment or a take-home kit. We offer affordable whitening options designed to fit a range of budgets.

Does insurance cover teeth whitening in Gardena, CA?

Whitening is considered cosmetic, so most dental insurance plans do not cover it. Our team can review payment options with you before you begin treatment.
