Welcome to SF Smile Doctor
What Teeth Whitening Can Do
Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “whitening” procedure.
Simple, Safe, and Customized to Your Smile
It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.
Fast Results with Professional Whitening Trays
In only a day or two, your custom bleach trays will be ready for pickup. We provide a special bleaching agent that you place into the clear trays. With just a few hours of wear per day, this agent gently lifts stains from your enamel without altering tooth structure or existing dental work. Once your teeth reach the brightness you want, only occasional touch-ups are needed. We’ll even take “after” photos at your next visit.
A Smart First Step Toward a Brighter Smile
Dental whitening can correct discoloration caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage. Using the latest whitening technology, we offer a safe and effective way to achieve a brilliant smile. For severe discoloration, crowns or veneers may be necessary—but with whitening treatments being so affordable, it’s usually well worth trying first.
How is teeth whitening done?
An impressions are taken to make a specialized “trays” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used every day for 10-15 minutes to a few hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or dental veneers may be more appropriate.
Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends with personalized custom-made trays.
