Why Professional Whitening?

Over time, teeth naturally darken due to coffee, tea, wine, and aging. Store-bought products can’t match the strength or consistency of professional systems, and they often cause unnecessary sensitivity.

Our whitening treatments are supervised by your dentist and customized for your comfort, ensuring even results that last longer and protect enamel health.

Our Whitening Options

Custom Whitening Trays

Perfect for maintaining brightness year-round. We create custom-fit trays and provide professional VivaStyle whitening gel from Ivoclar — safe, effective, and gentle enough for routine touch-ups.

KöR Whitening System

Known for tackling deep, resistant stains. KöR uses advanced peroxide gels and sealed trays to rejuvenate enamel color — even for tetracycline or age-related discoloration.

Zoom! Whitening

An in-office treatment that delivers dramatic results in a single visit. Zoom! uses light-activated gel to safely whiten multiple shades in about an hour, ideal before a special event or photos.

  • You can brighten your smile without the zingers.

Comfort for Sensitive Teeth

If you have sensitive teeth, whitening doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.

We use Ivoclar VivaStyle gels formulated to minimize sensitivity, and can apply desensitizing paste before or after treatment for added protection. Our team personalizes each plan to balance brightness and comfort, so you leave feeling great, not tender.

Before starting teeth whitening, we take time to evaluate your enamel health, gum condition, and past sensitivity history. This helps us determine the right strength of whitening gel and the safest approach for your smile. For some patients, we recommend spacing treatments slightly farther apart or beginning with shorter application times to reduce the chance of sensitivity.

We also provide guidance on how to prepare for teeth whitening if you’re prone to sensitivity. Using a sensitivity toothpaste for a couple of weeks before treatment can help strengthen enamel and calm nerve responses. After teeth whitening, avoiding very hot or cold foods for a short time can also make recovery more comfortable.

FAQs About Teeth Whitening

Here are some questions we get asked regularly. Don’t hesitate to call us with any question you may have. Our friendly team is happy to make sure you have all of the information you need to make informed decisions about your dental health.

We use advanced formulas designed to reduce or eliminate sensitivity. For patients prone to discomfort, we apply desensitizing paste before treatment and recommend brushing with sensitivity toothpaste like Sensodyne two weeks before your whitening appointment.

Some patients experience mild sensitivity after teeth whitening, but modern teeth whitening systems are designed to reduce discomfort. Professional teeth whitening treatments often include desensitizing gels to keep you comfortable. Any sensitivity from teeth whitening is usually temporary and fades within a few days.

In-office teeth whitening is completed in a single visit and provides fast, dramatic results. A professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied and monitored for safety. Take-home teeth whitening trays are custom-made to fit your smile and allow you to whiten gradually over one to two weeks. Both teeth whitening options are effective — the right choice depends on your schedule and goals.

Professional teeth whitening is stronger than over-the-counter products and can improve many deep or long-standing stains. Certain types of discoloration, such as stains caused by medication or trauma, may require additional cosmetic treatment beyond standard teeth whitening. A consultation helps determine how effective teeth whitening will be for your specific smile. Tooth coloring options are also a option.

Professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on your daily habits. Drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking can shorten how long your teeth whitening results last. Many patients choose occasional touch-up teeth whitening treatments or use custom trays at home to maintain their brighter smile. Many people don’t look at the risks of home tray kits.

With good oral care and occasional touch-ups, professional whitening can last one to three years. Avoid dark beverages and smoking for best results.

Whitening won’t change the color of restorations, but we can plan around them for even results.

Yes. Professional whitening is supervised and uses materials proven to be gentle on enamel.

I saw Dr. Shiki for a crown and was very pleased with the experience. Both Dr. Shiki and his assistant were friendly, efficient, and very competent. They both checked with me throughout the experience to make sure that I was comfortable and not experiencing any pain.

My recent visit to Lifetime Dental on Parmer was about as good as it gets for a dental appointment—especially when it involves something as unpleasant as a back molar issue.

After a quick and smooth check-in, I was politely reminded that I was well overdue for my follow-up appointment. The staff took the time to properly explain the importance of maintaining good oral health, which I genuinely appreciated.

Once the catch-up work began, the dental team performed several scans and thorough examinations. Unfortunately, it was revealed that one of my back molars could not be saved and required removal.

I was given the option to schedule the procedure for a later date or to move forward immediately. Based on their professional advice, I agreed it was best to take care of it right away rather than postpone it.

Overall, the staff’s professionalism, honesty, and clear communication made what could have been a stressful visit feel calm and well-handled. Aaron

After delaying the placement of two dental implants for some time, I finally went in to begin the procedure with Dr. Olivares. The procedure was explained in great detail, and my expectations going forward were clearly set. The doctor took approximately 1.5 hours to place the two implants, and everything went exceptionally well. Dr. Olivares and the technician, Brandy, took excellent care of me. This morning, I experienced minimal residual pain and overall feel great. I will have additional appointments over the next few months to monitor my progress, with the new teeth expected to be in place in 3-4 months. Thanks to the entire team! Happy holidays 🎄 Steve
