Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, wine, or even eating certain fruits can gradually stain your teeth. Over-the-counter whitening products promise results, but often lead to uneven whitening, tooth sensitivity, and minimal changes.
At Como Lake Dental, our whitening treatments use clinical-grade whitening agents that are safe, effective, and customized for your specific smile. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or just want to feel more confident in photos, we’ve got the solution.
Our Teeth Whitening Options
In-Office Whitening (Zoom! Whitening)
Our most popular option! In just one appointment, you can enjoy dramatic results — up to 8 shades lighter. We apply a powerful whitening gel and activate it using a specialized LED light.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Custom trays are designed to fit your teeth perfectly, allowing you to whiten at your convenience. Ideal for maintaining results after in-office treatment.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
