Teeth Whitening in Los Angeles

Professional Zoom in-office whitening and take-home options for a noticeably brighter smile.

In-Office Zoom Whitening

For the fastest, most noticeable results, we offer Zoom in-office whitening. In a single visit, your smile can lighten several shades under professional supervision, which is safer and more effective than store-bought strips or kits.

Take-Home Options Too

If you prefer to whiten at your own pace, we also offer at home pre-filled bleaching trays. They fit comfortably and give you even results. These trays are also a convenient way to maintain your brightness after in-office treatment.

A Perfect Finishing Touch

Whitening is a popular final step after Invisalign, when patients are already excited about their newly aligned smile. We often pair the two so you finish treatment with teeth that are both straight and bright.

Common Questions

How much whiter will my teeth get?

Results vary by person and by starting shade, but in-office Zoom whitening typically produces a clearly visible improvement in one visit. We’ll set realistic expectations for your smile before we begin.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients notice temporary sensitivity that fades quickly. We take steps to keep you comfortable and can recommend products to minimize it.

Is professional whitening better than strips?

Yes. Professional whitening is stronger, more even, and supervised, so you get better results with less risk than over-the-counter kits.

How long do the results last?

With good habits and occasional touch-ups using take-home trays, results can last a long time. Coffee, wine, tea, and smoking will shorten that.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why are my teeth stained or yellow?

    Teeth can darken from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, certain foods, and simply aging, and some stains sit deeper than others. Dr. Shelyan can look at what is causing your discoloration and recommend the whitening approach most likely to help.

  • Does professional whitening work on all types of stains?

    Whitening works well on many common stains, but some discoloration, like that from certain medications or deep internal stains, responds less to whitening. In those cases Dr. Shelyan may suggest options like veneers. He will tell you honestly what to expect.

  • Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?

    Whitening lightens natural teeth but does not change the color of crowns or veneers. If you have them, we will plan carefully so your natural teeth match your existing dental work. Dr. Shelyan will walk you through the best sequence.

  • How do I keep my teeth white after whitening?

    Cutting back on staining drinks, not smoking, and keeping up with cleanings all help. Custom take-home trays let you do occasional touch-ups to maintain your brightness. We will show you how to keep your results looking fresh.
