Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening options in Beverly Hills with evaluation for sensitivity, existing restorations, and realistic shade expectations.
Whitening changes natural tooth color—not restorative materials.
Professional whitening can brighten natural enamel and dentin. Existing crowns, veneers, fillings and bonding do not whiten the same way, so their color relationship should be considered before treatment.

- Sensitivity management
- Pre-whitening dental evaluation
Results depend on the type of discoloration.
Yellow-brown age-related staining often responds differently than discoloration from developmental conditions, trauma, medications or existing restorations.
Whitening is often best planned before definitive aesthetic restorations.
If veneers, crowns or bonding are planned, whitening first can help establish the desired natural tooth shade before selecting restorative materials.
What patients ask about teeth whitening
Will whitening make crowns or veneers whiter?
No. Dental ceramics and most restorative materials do not whiten like natural teeth.
Does whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity can occur. Product concentration, frequency, contact time and individual susceptibility affect risk.
How white can my teeth get?
Response varies by starting shade and the cause of discoloration. A dental exam helps set realistic expectations.
