What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lifts stains and discoloration from your enamel far more effectively than store-bought products. In-office whitening uses professional-strength bleaching agents that penetrate the tooth surface to break apart deep stains. The Philips Zoom Whitening System uses a special light to accelerate the whitening process, delivering dramatic results in a single visit. Smile Perfected offers another gentle yet powerful option for patients seeking a brighter smile. Both systems are applied under Dr. Kim’s supervision to ensure safe, even, and long-lasting results.

The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

In-office whitening delivers results that over-the-counter products simply cannot match.

Fast Results

Professional treatments can lighten your teeth several shades in just one appointment.

Supervised Care

Dr. Kim monitors your treatment to protect your gums and enamel while achieving optimal brightness.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care, your whiter smile can last for months or even years before a touch-up is needed.

Our Professional Teeth Whitening Process

Dr. Kim examines your teeth to ensure whitening is appropriate and discusses the level of brightness you hope to achieve.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Professional whitening works best on natural teeth with stains from food, drinks, tobacco, or aging. If you have always wanted a brighter smile or have a special event coming up, in-office treatment offers the quickest path to results. Whitening may not be ideal if you have extensive dental work like crowns or veneers in visible areas, as these restorations do not respond to bleaching agents. Dr. Kim will evaluate your teeth and discuss whether whitening will give you the outcome you are hoping for.

I recently had an appointment at Burlingame Dental, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the cozy and calming ambiance. It's not often you find a dental office that feels so welcoming and puts you at ease right away. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout my visit. Every interaction, from the front desk to the dental assistants, was friendly and professional. They genuinely seem to care about their patients' comfort. But the real highlight was the treatment I received from Dr. Kim. I've had dental work in the past that was less than comfortable, but this was a completely different experience. The treatment was remarkably smooth and relieving. Dr. Kim has a gentle touch and a reassuring demeanor that made the whole process stress-free. I felt like I was in very capable and caring hands. If you're looking for a dental practice that combines a warm atmosphere with exceptional, gentle care, look no further. I'm so glad I found them and will definitely be returning for all my future dental needs!
