Professional Teeth Whitening in San Mateo

Teeth whitening is the most requested cosmetic dental treatment. Over time, teeth stain and discolor from aging, smoking, and everyday foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine. At Fiori Dental in San Mateo, Drs. Anthony and Jane Ferrera offer professional teeth whitening. It delivers faster, brighter, and longer-lasting results than anything available over the counter.

How Professional Teeth Whitening Works

We offer two ways to brighten your smile, depending on what fits your schedule.

In-Office Whitening

In-office whitening uses a carefully formulated whitening gel applied directly to your teeth. It produces dramatic, noticeably whiter results in a single visit. This option is ideal if you want fast results. It works well before a special event or whenever you’d simply like to see your transformation right away.

Take-Home Whitening

Take-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your own teeth. You whiten gradually, on your own schedule, from the comfort of home. The formula is still professional-strength, not a generic drugstore kit.

Why Choose Professional Whitening at Fiori Dental

Our office also uses laser-assisted whitening technology. The laser activates the peroxide bleaching solution more efficiently than gel alone. It works as a heat source that intensifies the bleaching effect. This shortens treatment time and helps produce more even results across all of your teeth, something store-bought strips and kits cannot reliably match.

Whitening performed by a dental professional is also simply safer. Any cavities need treatment before whitening begins. Whitening solution can otherwise penetrate a cavity and let decay reach deeper into the tooth. Our team checks for this during your consultation, a step an at-home kit can’t account for.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Teeth whitening is one of the most accessible cosmetic treatments available. It isn’t the right fit for everyone, though. Patients with sensitive teeth should discuss options with our team first. Some whitening formulas can temporarily increase sensitivity. We also recommend a professional cleaning before whitening. Removing surface plaque and tartar first helps the whitening gel work more evenly.

How Long Do Whitening Results Last?

Results vary by habits and oral hygiene. Most patients enjoy noticeably brighter teeth for one to three years before a touch-up is needed. Avoiding staining foods and drinks helps results last longer. Good brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings make a difference too.
