Want a smile that looks cleaner, fresher, and instantly more attractive?
If you’re ready for noticeable results without the guesswork of over-the-counter products, professional teeth whitening at Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics can give you the radiant smile you’ve been wanting. Our team uses powerful, enamel-safe whitening systems designed to lift deep stains while keeping you comfortable throughout the process.
Whether you want a quick brightness boost or a dramatic transformation, we offer modern whitening options tailored to your goals, timeline, and sensitivity level.
Cosmetic whitening does more than just brighten; it revitalizes your entire appearance and boosts your self-esteem.
Lighten your teeth several shades in a single visit for a fresh, polished look.
Feel your best in photos, job interviews, social events, and everyday interactions.
Remove discoloration caused by coffee, wine, and aging far more effectively than drugstore kits.
Our professional system protects your enamel and minimizes sensitivity for consistent, even whitening.
With simple maintenance, your results can last for months, providing lasting value.
You may benefit from professional teeth whitening if you:
Want a brighter, whiter smile for an upcoming event or a daily confidence boost.
Have staining from food, drinks, or smoking that won’t budge with brushing.
Prefer professional-grade results over the hit-or-miss nature of drugstore kits.
Have healthy teeth and gums and have had a recent dental cleaning.
Want a safe, dentist-monitored treatment to ensure your enamel is protected.
At Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics, we assess your enamel and sensitivity levels to ensure your whitening plan is both safe and predictable.
We provide a smooth, comfortable experience customized to the exact level of whiteness you want to achieve.
We check your enamel thickness and current shade. You’ll share your whitening goals, and we’ll recommend the safest, most effective option—whether that’s an instant in-office treatment or a custom take-home kit.
We carefully protect your gums and soft tissues before applying the professional-strength whitening gel. This ensures the treatment targets only your teeth, preventing the “burning” sensation often felt with generic strips.
The gel is activated (often with a specialized light) to break up deep-set stains. We monitor the progress in short intervals, allowing us to stop the moment your desired brightness is reached.
We apply a post-treatment finish to help reduce sensitivity and provide you with a simple guide on how to keep your smile bright for as long as possible.
Choosing the right team for your cosmetic treatment is the secret to achieving a radiant, even, and pain-free transformation. Here’s what sets our whitening experience apart:
We offer both high-speed in-office whitening and custom-fitted take-home trays for your convenience.
We use professional-grade products known for their effectiveness and enamel-safe formulas.
Our team is expert at managing patient comfort, ensuring a pain-free experience even for those with sensitive teeth.
If you are finishing braces or Invisalign, we can perfectly coordinate your whitening to be the “grand finale” of your new smile.
We are proud to serve the Lakewood community with honest care and consistently beautiful cosmetic results.
We believe quality dental care should be accessible. We accept most PPO insurance plans and Medi-Cal. Our team will gladly help you verify your coverage before your procedure so there are no surprises. If you need additional help, we offer flexible payment plans to make your care affordable.

With good oral hygiene and by limiting staining foods (like coffee and red wine), your results can last from six months to a year. Many patients choose a quick “touch-up” every few months.
The most common side effect is temporary tooth sensitivity. We use specialized gels and protective barriers to minimize this, and any sensitivity usually disappears within 24 hours.
We typically recommend a professional session once or twice a year, with occasional home touch-ups. Over-whitening can lead to enamel wear, which is why dentist supervision is so important.
Whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel and will not change the color of porcelain crowns, veneers, or composite fillings. We can help you plan your treatment to ensure your natural teeth and restorations match beautifully.
Over-the-counter kits are “one-size-fits-all,” often causing uneven results and gum irritation. We use higher-strength, enamel-safe gels and custom application techniques to provide faster, more dramatic results with significantly less sensitivity.
Whether you’re looking for a boost in confidence or a healthier bite, Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics is here to guide you. No high-pressure sales—just expert advice and a clear path to your dream smile.
