"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.

"Dr. Pizzi and his staff are great. I've been a patient for 8+ years and the experience has been terrific. The conveniently located office is well organized and the staff is friendly and engaging.

"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!"

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.
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.
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.
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:

Ready to leave stains in the past and love your smile again?
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:
Teeth whitening may not be the right step if you:
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.
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:
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:

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.
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.
Yes, but your dentist may adjust the strength, timing, or frequency of treatment to reduce discomfort and protect sensitive teeth.
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.
No, whitening only changes the color of natural enamel, so crowns, veneers, fillings, and other restorations will stay the same shade.
Cavities and active gum concerns should be treated before whitening to avoid irritation and protect your oral health.
You don’t have to keep hiding your smile because of stains or discoloration.
Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or a dramatic smile transformation, we'll help you choose the whitening option that's right for you and your goals.
