"Everyone in the office contributes to the positive experience, beginning with a warm greeting from the ever-smiling, personable Trish.  Dr. Pizzi is willing to take time to explain the issues and discuss various options.  I have had emergency dental work, cleanings, bonding, and just completed my Invisalign  treatment.  I have never had less than a great experience.  Friendly, efficient, and competent!"

"Dr. Pizzi and team are fantastic! They work with great care to ensure that you are absolutely satisfied with your end results. I had a root canal done many years back on a front tooth and the tooth was getting really dark & chipping. Had some issues with a few surrounding teeth as well and I made a decision to have veneers done on the front 4 teeth. I am so happy with the work that was done. Dr. Pizzi and team made the experience very manageable. Couldn’t be happier with the results!"

Dr.Campbell and Salem genuinely care about their patients and you can really tell they love their job and working together.

"I've been coming to this dental office for most of my life! I have lived in multiple states, but always when I have needed cosmetic dentistry done and/or just a cleaning of my teeth... I trust no one — and I mean no one else — to do the work except here by Dr. Bellisario, and now Dr. Pizzi! I'm always complimented on my smile and how nice it is and I have the expertise of these now two dentists to thank. Dr. Pizzi knows his stuff and is ahead of the curve in his knowledge of how teeth should be and act as a whole. I can't thank him and Dr. Bellisario enough for providing the utmost professional care for my teeth! I love my smile and will continue to use them on a firsthand basis for all my dental needs! Thanks guys for providing me the best dental care out there!"

Your Teeth Whitening Options at Del Mar Dental

Whitening is not one-size-fits-all. We’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss the results you want, and honestly explain whether KöR whitening, custom trays, or an over-the-counter product is the best choice for your smile.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

During an in-office visit, we’ll clean your teeth, protect your gums, and apply professional-strength KöR whitening treatment to brighten your smile in about 1–2 hours.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Using precise digital impressions from our Primescan scanner, we’ll design whitening trays shaped specifically for your smile. After your initial 2–3 weeks of whitening, you can keep the trays for convenient touch-ups whenever needed.

Better Guidance For A Brighter Smile

Beautiful cosmetic results begin with the right diagnosis. Before recommending whitening, we'll evaluate your teeth, existing dental work, and the type of discoloration you're trying to improve. If whitening isn't the best solution, we'll explain why and recommend another treatment that better fits your goals.

With preventive dentistry, periodontal care, veneers, and a range of other cosmetic dental services, we can address concerns that whitening alone may not improve and develop a more complete plan for your smile.

Here’s why patients like you come to us to lift years of stubborn stains:

Who Is A Good Fit For Teeth Whitening?

If your teeth are healthy and you want to reduce stains without changing the shape or position of your smile, professional whitening may be the right option for you.

You may be a good candidate for teeth whitening if you:

  • Have yellowing or surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or aging
  • Want a brighter smile before a wedding, event, or photo session
  • Have healthy teeth and gums
  • Have finished Invisalign or another orthodontic treatment and want to brighten your newly straightened smile
  • Want a more consistent tooth color before dental bonding

Teeth whitening may not be the right step if you:

  • Have untreated cavities, gum disease, or severe tooth sensitivity
  • Have discoloration caused by trauma, medication, or changes inside the tooth
  • Have crowns and bridges, dental implants, fillings, or bonding (these materials won’t respond like natural enamel)
  • Are pregnant or nursing

During your consultation, we’ll examine your teeth, review any existing restorations, and talk through your goals before recommending whitening or another cosmetic option.

If professional whitening isn't the best way to achieve the smile you're looking for, we'll recommend another option—whether that's whitening trays, bonding, veneers, or simply maintaining your smile with routine care.

What To Expect Before, During, And After Whitening

Your First Appointment

We’ll examine your teeth, review any sensitivity or existing dental work, and help you choose between in-office and at-home whitening.

During Whitening

In-office treatment usually takes about 1–2 hours, while at-home whitening is completed gradually over about 2–3 weeks.

After Whitening

You may experience temporary sensitivity, and a few simple habits can help your brighter smile last longer:
‍

  • Limit coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other stain-causing foods or drinks
  • Rinse or brush after consuming anything that may stain
  • Use a straw for darker beverages when possible
  • Keep up with brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings
  • Use your reusable trays for touch-ups as recommended

How Much Does Professional Teeth Whitening Cost?

The cost of teeth whitening depends on whether you choose in-office or at-home whitening, and the treatment plan your dentist recommends for your smile.

For eligible patients, we offer flexible financing plans to make whitening easier to fit into your budget:

Questions To Ask Before Teeth Whitening

Should I try whitening strips before professional whitening?

Maybe. For some patients, over-the-counter whitening strips are enough to achieve their goals. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your smile and recommend the whitening option that's most appropriate based on your discoloration, sensitivity, existing dental work, and desired results.

How long do professional teeth whitening results last?

Professional whitening results can last from several months to a few years, depending on your diet, oral hygiene, and exposure to stain-causing foods and drinks.

Is teeth whitening safe for sensitive teeth?

Yes, but your dentist may adjust the strength, timing, or frequency of treatment to reduce discomfort and protect sensitive teeth.

What types of stains can teeth whitening remove?

Whitening works best on yellow or brown surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and aging, while deeper internal discoloration may need a different treatment approach.

Will whitening change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings?

No, whitening only changes the color of natural enamel, so crowns, veneers, fillings, and other restorations will stay the same shade.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have cavities or gum problems?

Cavities and active gum concerns should be treated before whitening to avoid irritation and protect your oral health.
