Schedule Your ConsultationWhy Choose Professional Whitening?
A bright, white smile is one of the most noticeable and attractive features you can have. Unfortunately, teeth naturally yellow and stain over time due to aging, diet, medications, and lifestyle. While drugstore strips promise results, they simply can't match the effectiveness, safety, and speed of professional whitening performed by an experienced cosmetic dentist.
At Best Dental, Dr. Jasmine Naderi offers professional-grade treatments that can brighten your smile by 6–10 shades — sometimes in a single appointment. Unlike over-the-counter products that use weak formulas and ill-fitting trays, our treatments use concentrated whitening agents and custom-fitted trays for superior, even results with minimal sensitivity.
Professional whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in America for good reason: it's affordable, non-invasive, and delivers dramatic improvements quickly. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, an interview, or simply want to feel your best, professional whitening can take years off your appearance and give you a smile you're proud to show.
“The ADA supports educating the public on the need to consult with a licensed dentist to determine if whitening is an appropriate course of treatment. A clinical exam prior to the start of tooth bleaching procedures can help diagnose various factors contributing to the patient’s tooth discoloration.”
Professional Whitening Options
Three approaches to suit every goal, schedule, and budget — Dr. Naderi will help you choose the right one.
Professional-Strength Take-Home Whitening Kits
Best Dental carries and dispenses Venus White Pro take-home whitening kits — a professional-grade system only available through licensed dental offices. Walk out with everything you need for dramatically whiter teeth on your own schedule.
Venus White Pro Take-Home Kit
Professional-strength whitening gel + custom-fitted trays — dispensed by Dr. Naderi
Venus White Pro is a dentist-dispensed whitening system using professional-concentration carbamide peroxide gel — the same category of formula used in dental offices, not available at any pharmacy or retail store. Unlike one-size strips that leave gaps and cause uneven results, Venus uses custom-fitted trays made directly from impressions of your teeth, ensuring full coverage and consistent whitening across every surface. You whiten at home on your own schedule, with professional results.

Benefits of Professional Whitening
Professional treatment delivers what drugstore products promise but can't deliver.
Dramatically Whiter Teeth
Professional whitening can brighten teeth by 6–10 shades — results that drugstore products simply cannot match. See a noticeable difference after just one treatment.
Customized Treatment
Dr. Naderi tailors your treatment to your goals, sensitivity level, and staining patterns. Custom-fitted trays ensure even coverage and comfortable application every time.
Safe & Supervised
Professional supervision ensures safe, effective treatment with minimal sensitivity. Dentist-grade formulas are far stronger than store products yet gentle on enamel.
Fast Results
In-office whitening delivers dramatic results in 60–90 minutes. Take-home kits work in 1–2 weeks. Either option is faster and more effective than OTC alternatives.
Better Long-Term Value
While more upfront than drugstore products, professional whitening is more cost-effective when you factor in the superior results — and not repeatedly buying weak products that don't work.
Confidence Boost
A whiter smile makes you look younger, healthier, and more attractive. Studies show people with white smiles are perceived as more successful and trustworthy in both personal and professional settings.
The Professional Whitening Process
In-office whitening is straightforward and comfortable — most patients are surprised by how quick and easy it is.
Pre-Treatment Consultation
Dr. Naderi examines your teeth, discusses your whitening goals, and takes a shade reading to document your starting point. She'll explain what results are realistically achievable and answer all your questions.
Cleaning & Preparation
Your teeth are thoroughly cleaned to remove surface debris and plaque so the whitening gel can penetrate evenly. A protective barrier is applied to your gums and lips to prevent irritation throughout treatment.
Whitening Gel Application
Dr. Naderi carefully applies professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. The powerful formula contains high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide that break down stains deep within your enamel.
Activation & Treatment Time
The gel is left on for 15–20 minute intervals. Some treatments use a special light to accelerate the whitening process. The gel may be reapplied 2–3 times during your appointment for maximum results.
Final Rinse & Results Evaluation
After the final application, the gel is removed and teeth are rinsed thoroughly. Dr. Naderi takes a final shade reading to document your results. Most patients are thrilled to see their teeth 6–10 shades whiter immediately.
Take-Home Whitening Process
Dr. Naderi takes impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays. Once ready — typically within a week — you'll receive your kit with professional whitening gel and detailed instructions. Wear the trays for 30 minutes to a few hours daily for 1–2 weeks until you achieve your desired shade. The results are equivalent to in-office treatment; it simply happens more gradually.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most people with healthy teeth and gums are excellent candidates. Some situations respond better than others.

Special Considerations
Sensitive Teeth
Professional whitening can still work — Dr. Naderi adjusts concentration and recommends desensitizing treatments to minimize discomfort.
Existing Restorations
Crowns, veneers, and fillings don't respond to whitening. Visible restorations may need replacing after to match your new brighter shade.
Maintaining Your Results
Results typically last 6 months to 2 years — these simple habits keep your smile bright for as long as possible.
Excellent Oral Hygiene
Brush twice daily, floss daily, and rinse with mouthwash to prevent stain buildup on enamel.
Limit Staining Foods
Coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and dark sodas re-stain teeth over time — minimize or rinse after consuming.
Use a Straw
When drinking staining beverages, a straw minimizes contact with your front teeth and helps preserve your results.
Quit Tobacco
Smoking and chewing tobacco are among the worst offenders for re-staining — eliminating them dramatically extends results.
Regular Cleanings
Visit Best Dental every 6 months for professional cleanings that remove surface stains before they set.
Periodic Touch-Ups
Most patients benefit from touch-ups every 6–12 months. If you have custom trays, simply purchase additional gel refills.
Cost & Financing
Professional whitening is surprisingly affordable — especially when compared to repeatedly buying drugstore products that don't deliver. For a full breakdown, see our teeth whitening cost guide.
In-Office Whitening
Per treatment. Immediate results in one 60–90 minute visit — the fastest path to a dramatically whiter smile.
Take-Home Kit
Includes custom trays and professional gel for 1–2 weeks of treatment. Great for sensitive patients and budget-conscious options.
Touch-Up Gel Refills
For patients who already have custom trays. Affordable periodic maintenance to keep your smile bright year-round.
Payment Options
Our Discount Plan, CareCredit financing, and in-house payment plans make professional whitening accessible for any budget.
Professional vs. Over-the-Counter: The Real Comparison
Drugstore whitening strips cost $20–$60 per box — but you'll likely need multiple boxes over months to see minimal results. Many patients spend $100–$200+ on ineffective products before investing in professional whitening that actually delivers. When you factor in superior results, speed, safety, and lasting power, professional whitening is clearly the better value. Insurance doesn't typically cover cosmetic whitening, but our team will verify your dental benefits at your consultation.
