Whitening Questions
How much does professional whitening cost in San Rafael?
Cost depends on whether you choose in-office whitening, custom take-home trays, or a combination. D Street Dental Group reviews the options and pricing at your visit, with flexible in-office payment plans available. Call (415) 453-0744 to get started.
How long does whitening last?
Results commonly last several months to a couple of years depending on your diet and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco speed up re-staining. Custom take-home trays make it easy to touch up and maintain your results over time.
Does whitening cause sensitivity?
Some temporary sensitivity is common and usually fades within a day or two. Because professional whitening is supervised by your dentist, we can adjust the approach and recommend products to keep you comfortable, an advantage over one-size-fits-all drugstore kits.
Is in-office better than drugstore strips?
Professional whitening uses stronger, dentist-supervised agents and custom-fitted trays for faster, more even results with less gum irritation than generic strips. We also check first that your teeth and gums are healthy, so whitening is safe and effective for you.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when supervised by a dentist. We first confirm your teeth and gums are healthy and that staining isn't caused by something whitening won't fix. From there, professional-grade whitening is a safe, well-established way to brighten your smile.
