Customized Teeth Whitening in Westminster
Do you find yourself hiding your smile around others because you’re disappointed with your dull and discolored teeth?
Tooth discoloration is a common problem and can be the result of aging, genetics, lifestyle habits like smoking, and even the food and drinks you consume. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening at Arrow Dental is an easy and affordable solution that will restore your bright, youthful smile in no time.
Our professional teeth whitening treatments produce brilliant results that you just won’t see with over-the-counter kits. That’s because professional products contain a higher concentration of prescription-strength whiteners. We also provide customized whitening trays that are designed to cover all surfaces of your teeth evenly.
Why Our Teeth Discolor
Aging is a major factor in tooth discoloration. As we age, the surface layer of enamel on our teeth starts to get thinner, allowing the yellowish dentin beneath to show through. At the same time, the dentin gets more yellow.
The foods and drinks we choose also stain the enamel layer of your teeth. Colas, coffee, red wine, dark berries, and curries are just a few examples of foods that can stain your teeth. Tobacco use of any kind stains teeth, causes bad breath, and also increases the risk factor for periodontal disease.
There are also cases where teeth are stained internally by injury, tetracycline use, or excessive fluoride.
Customized Solutions for a Brighter Smile
If you are tired of living with the embarrassment of a dull, stained, or discolored smile, we offer two convenient whitening treatments.
In-office whitening is so fast and easy that it is a procedure we can quickly complete during your lunch hour. You will see brilliant results in less than an hour and return to work with a refreshed, confident smile.
You may not have the time to spend an hour for an in-office treatment, so we are also pleased to offer the convenience of professional take-home whitening kits. We use dental impressions to customize a whitening tray that fits perfectly over your teeth.
Your take-home kit includes the trays and a supply of prescription-strength whitening gel. We will instruct you to use the trays daily for about two weeks to produce a smile that’s about eight shades brighter.
Many patients combine the two services, starting with an in-office treatment followed by whitening at home, to produce beautiful results that last.
Please Call to Arrange an Appointment
We always recommend a professional dental cleaning before a whitening procedure. A thorough cleaning leaves your teeth fresh and clean so you can get the best, most consistent results from your whitening efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Just about anyone who has stained or discolored teeth is a good candidate for teeth whitening. The procedure is safe, fast, and affordable, and the results can transform your smile. There are a few exceptions, though.
Your underlying dental health should be good. It’s best to resolve any conditions such as decayed teeth or gum disease before whitening. We also recommend a dental cleaning before any whitening treatment. Removing the plaque and tartar that lingers on your teeth produces the brightest, most consistent results.
You may not be a candidate for whitening if you have crowns, fillings, or bonding on your front teeth. The procedure won’t affect the color of your restorations, which will end up being a different color than your newly whitened teeth. In this case, we may recommend veneers or bonding for a uniform appearance.
Pregnant women should not whiten their teeth because we do not know what, if any, effect the products have on the unborn baby.
At Arrow Dental, we offer two types of teeth whitening for your convenience. Our in-office treatment is fast and easy and produces brilliant results in about an hour. You will leave our office with a smile that is about eight shades brighter than when we started.
We can also provide you with a customized whitening tray and professional-strength gel that you use to whiten at home. Use the kit every day for about two weeks, and you will see results similar to those of an in-office treatment.
