In-Office Teeth Whitening

Want results you can see the same day? In-office teeth whitening is the fastest way to a noticeably brighter smile. Using professional-strength whitening agents applied right here in our Berkeley office, we can brighten your teeth in about an hour. It’s a great fit for patients preparing for a big event, a professional milestone, or anyone who simply wants the most striking results with the least amount of waiting. Our caring dental team monitors the whitening process to keep you comfortable from start to finish.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Prefer to whiten at home, on your schedule? We offer custom at-home whitening kits that deliver professional-grade results without the guesswork. Unlike whitening strips from the drugstore, our take-home trays are custom-fitted to your teeth, so the whitening gel stays exactly where it needs to be. This option is especially popular with patients who have sensitive teeth, since the lower-concentration gel can be applied gradually for a more comfortable experience. Most patients see significant brightening within one to two weeks.

You Deserve a Teeth Whitening Treatment That Actually Works for You

At Ashby Dental, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to teeth whitening. Before recommending any treatment, we review your full dental history and factor in your comfort level. For patients with sensitivity, we often start with a custom at-home kit, giving you a gentler, more gradual path to a brighter smile. We’re here to answer your questions and guide you to the right option.

FAQs

About Teeth Whitening

How much does teeth whitening cost?2026-05-28T08:19:18-07:00

We offer two professional whitening options. Our take-home whitening kit costs $400 and includes reusable trays and whitening gel. For more immediate results, we also offer an in-office whitening treatment for $770, which includes a take-home kit for future touch-ups. Both options are safe, effective, and provide noticeable results.

How does professional teeth whitening work?2026-05-28T08:21:32-07:00

Professional whitening treatments use a safe, highly effective whitening gel that breaks down stains and discoloration on the enamel. We offer both in-office whitening for fast, dramatic results and take-home kits with reusable trays for gradual whitening on your own schedule. These options are much more powerful and longer-lasting than over-the-counter products.

How long do teeth whitening results last?2026-05-28T08:20:07-07:00

Teeth whitening results can last several months to a year or more, depending on your habits and lifestyle. Avoiding staining foods and drinks (like coffee, red wine, and tobacco) and maintaining good oral hygiene can help extend your results. Periodic touch-ups, especially with take-home kits, are a great way to keep your smile looking bright.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?2026-05-28T08:20:59-07:00

Yes. When performed or supervised by a dental professional, teeth whitening is considered safe and effective. At Ashby Dental, we assess your teeth and gums before recommending any whitening treatment to make sure it’s appropriate for you. Over-the-counter products can be used incorrectly or too frequently, which can cause temporary sensitivity or enamel irritation. Professional whitening keeps the process controlled and monitored.

What’s the difference between in-office and at-home whitening?2026-05-28T08:24:01-07:00

In-office whitening uses a higher-concentration professional gel applied by our dental team, producing faster and more significant results, typically in about an hour. At-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays and a lower-concentration gel that you apply yourself over one to two weeks. In-office whitening is ideal if you want quick results, while at-home whitening gives you more control and is often gentler for patients with sensitivity. Both options produce results that far exceed what over-the-counter whitening strips can deliver.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth?2026-05-28T08:21:10-07:00

Many patients with sensitivity can whiten their teeth safely. The key is choosing the right treatment. We typically recommend our custom at-home whitening kits for patients with sensitivity, since the lower-concentration gel can be applied gradually and on your own schedule. We also space out sessions to give your teeth time to recover between treatments. If you have concerns about sensitivity, let us know so we can tailor your whitening plan accordingly.
