Professional teeth whitening is a safe, highly effective, and non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment designed to significantly lighten the color of your natural tooth enamel. Over time, teeth become stained and yellowed from food, drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine), tobacco use, and the natural aging process. Unlike over-the-counter strips or gels, professional whitening supervised by an expert dentist like Dr. Joseph Stan, DDS uses stronger, clinically-proven bleaching agents (typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) in controlled concentrations to break down deep-set stains, delivering dramatic, lasting results you can trust.
At our Beverly Hills practice, we believe a bright smile is a powerful asset. We offer more than just a whitening service; we provide a personalized experience. Whether you seek a fast, in-office transformation for a special event or the convenience of a powerful take-home system, Dr. Stan ensures your treatment is tailored for maximum effectiveness, safety, and comfort, helping you reveal a smile that is both radiant and healthy.
Are You a Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening?
- Have yellow, brown, or orange-toned stains on your teeth from lifestyle factors.
- Experience generalized dullness or discoloration due to natural aging.
- Have mild to moderate tetracycline (antibiotic) or fluorosis stains (in many cases).
- Possess healthy, unrestored teeth and gums free from cavities and periodontal disease.
- Have realistic expectations about the whitening process and results.
Important Considerations: Whitening is most effective on natural tooth enamel. It will not change the color of existing dental work like crowns, veneers, fillings, or bridges. Dr. Stan will conduct a thorough examination to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and to discuss if whitening is your best option or if alternative cosmetic treatments (like veneers) would better achieve your desired outcome.
Our Teeth Whitening Options
1. KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ (Take-Home System)
The KöR System is our most advanced and effective whitening protocol, renowned for delivering exceptionally bright, lasting results, even for tough, deep-set stains.
- Process: It begins with a consultation and custom tray fabrication. You use a unique, pH-balanced bleaching gel at home overnight for about two weeks. The system includes a special “Sealer Gel” to help prevent stains from re-adhering.
- Best For: Patients with sensitive teeth, those with gray or tetracycline stains, and anyone seeking the whitest possible, longest-lasting results from a take-home system.
- Results: Up to 12 shades of lightening or more, with results that can last for years with proper maintenance.
2. In-Office Power Whitening (ZOOM! or Philips Zoom)
- Process: After protecting your gums, a high-concentration professional bleaching gel is applied to your teeth. A specialized LED light or laser is often used to accelerate and enhance the bleaching action. The gel is reapplied in intervals throughout the appointment.
- Best For: Patients seeking immediate, dramatic results for a wedding, job interview, or special event. It’s the fastest way to achieve a brighter smile.
- Results: Can lighten teeth 6-10 shades in a single visit.
The Professional Whitening Procedure
For In-Office Whitening:
- Preparation & Protection: Your lips and gums are gently covered with a protective barrier. Your teeth are cleaned of any surface debris.
- Application: The professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth.
- Activation: The gel may be activated with a specialized light for several minutes per session.
- Rinse & Repeat: The gel is rinsed off, and the process is typically repeated 2-3 times during your visit.
- Final Results & Aftercare: You will see immediate, dramatic results. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and may send you home with a custom tray and gel for minor touch-ups.
For Take-Home KöR Whitening
- Custom Tray Fabrication: Impressions are taken to create soft, comfortable, custom-fitted whitening trays that ensure even gel distribution and minimize gum irritation.
- Detailed Instructions: Dr. Stan provides the professional-grade whitening gel and clear, step-by-step instructions for at-home use.
- Supervised Progress: We monitor your progress to ensure optimal results and comfort.

Longevity of Results | Longer-lasting due to higher-quality gels and professional techniques. | Results fade quickly. |
Cost & Value | Higher initial investment for superior, safer, longer-lasting results. | Lower upfront cost, but often ineffective and of poor value. |

FAQs
Is teeth whitening safe for my enamel?
Yes, when performed by a dental professional. The American Dental Association affirms that whitening under the supervision of a dentist is safe. The professional gels are formulated to minimize enamel dehydration and sensitivity, unlike some abrasive over-the-counter products.
How long will my whitening results last?
Results can last from one to three years or more, depending on your habits. To maintain your brightest smile, we recommend avoiding stain-causing foods/drinks, not smoking, using a whitening toothpaste, and scheduling occasional touch-up treatments with your take-home trays.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some temporary sensitivity during or after treatment is common but usually mild. The KöR system is specifically designed to minimize this. We also provide desensitizing toothpaste and gels to manage any discomfort effectively.
Can I whiten my crowns, veneers, or fillings?
No. Whitening gel only works on natural tooth structure. Crowns, veneers, and tooth-colored fillings will not lighten. If you have visible dental work, Dr. Stan will discuss strategies, such as replacing old restorations after whitening to match your new, brighter shade.
How white can my teeth actually get?
Everyone has a natural stopping point based on their genetics and tooth history. Dr. Stan will give you a realistic expectation during your consultation. Most patients achieve a dramatic, satisfying lightening that removes years of stains.
