"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 went to the office their office with the thought that my teeth were never going to look straight or normal since I was missing teeth. Dr.Campbell was able to rescue my smile and made my teeth look very natural. He has a true art to what he does and he explains everything throughout the process.

"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.

Invisalign vs. Suresmile vs. Spark: Finding The Right Clear Aligners

The right clear aligners depend on your teeth, bite, comfort, and smile goals. We’ll evaluate your options and explain which system may provide the best result for you.

Category Invisalign® SureSmile® Spark™
Benefits Precise, predictable treatment backed by advanced technology Customized treatment designed for efficient tooth movement Efficient, effective tooth movement for a wide range of cases, which may sometimes mean fewer appointments.
Material Flexible SmartTrack® material Clear, durable material TruGEN™ material with polished edges

Comfort Flexible with a close fit Custom-made for comfortable daily wear Smooth edges may feel gentler against your cheeks and gums
Why We May Recommend It You need controlled, precise tooth movement Its flexible design fits your specific needs Clarity, stain resistance, and smooth edges are priorities

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

1. Your Consultation:

We'll perform a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, bite, and oral health while discussing your smile goals to determine whether Invisalign or another treatment option is the best fit for you.

2. Digital Scans And Treatment Planning:

Using advanced Primescan digital scanning technology, we'll create a precise 3D model of your teeth and design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your smile and long-term goals.

3. Your First Set Of Aligners:

Once your aligners are ready, we’ll make sure they fit properly and explain how to wear, clean, and care for them.

4. Daily Aligner Wear:

You’ll wear each set for about 20–22 hours per day, switching to the next trays according to your treatment plan.

5. Follow-Up Visits:

We typically see you every 6–8 weeks to check your progress, answer questions, and provide your next sets of aligners.

6. Treatment Completion:

Treatment time varies from patient to patient, but most people complete treatment in about 6–18 months.

7. Your Retainer:

After treatment, you'll receive a custom retainer to protect your results and keep your teeth in their new positions.

Invisalign Cost, Financing, And Payment Options

The cost of your Invisalign treatment depends on the extent of correction you need, how long your treatment lasts, and the details of your plan.

To make your care more accessible, we offer flexible financing plans for eligible patients:

Insurance We Accept

As an out-of-network practice, we're able to recommend the treatment, materials, and technology we believe will provide the best long-term results for your smile.

Your Invisalign Questions, Answered

How many hours per day do I need to wear my aligners?

Most patients need to wear their aligners for 20–22 hours each day, removing them only for meals, drinks other than water, brushing, and flossing. Wearing them consistently is one of the biggest factors in achieving your desired results on schedule.

Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign?

Yes, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods. Your aligners are removable, so you’ll need to take them out before eating or drinking anything besides water.

Will Invisalign affect the way I speak?

You may speak with a slight lisp for the first few days, but most patients adjust quickly as their tongue gets used to the aligners.

Will I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign?

Yes, you’ll need to wear a retainer after treatment to keep your teeth from shifting back toward their original positions. We'll recommend a retainer schedule that's right for you.

How long will I need to wear Invisalign before seeing results?

Many patients notice changes within a few weeks, although your full treatment may take about 6–18 months depending on your needs.

Take The First Step Toward Straighter Teeth

A straighter smile can help you feel more confident in photos, conversations, and social gatherings.

At Del Mar Dental Studio, we’ll create an Invisalign treatment plan to give you the smile you’ve always wanted without sacrificing your comfort.
