Teeth Whitening Services

Your favorite foods and drinks—like coffee, tea, or red wine—can leave stains on your teeth, making them look dull over time. Naturally darker teeth with yellow or gray tones can also affect the brightness of your smile. At Oak Tree Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening in Sebastopol to help you achieve a brighter, more radiant smile!

How Professional Teeth Whitening Can Transform Your Smile

A confident smile can make a big difference in your daily life, helping you feel more self-assured, share your joy with others, and even leave a positive impression in professional settings. Professional teeth whitening treatments can effectively lift stains and brighten the natural color of your teeth, giving your smile a refreshed, youthful, vibrant look. Our affordable options for teeth whitening in Sebastopol provide a safe, proven way to enhance your smile.

How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?

Professional whitening treatments use advanced techniques to break down the compounds responsible for tooth discoloration. These treatments typically involve a specialized gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrates the enamel’s tiny pores to lift deep stains without harming the tooth surface.

Our team takes a personalized approach to teeth whitening to ensure you achieve the best results safely and comfortably.

Our Teeth Whitening Process

Step 1: Personalized Consultation

Your journey to a brighter smile with our team begins with a consultation for teeth whitening in Sebastopol. Our experienced cosmetic dentists will assess your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is the right choice for you and discuss your goals for your smile.

Step 2: Prepare for Optimal Results

We often recommend a routine dental cleaning before whitening to remove surface stains and enhance the results. Teeth whitening is also an excellent first step if you’re planning additional cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers or dental crowns, as it ensures restorations blend seamlessly with your new smile.

Step 3: Choose Your Whitening Solution

Based on your needs and goals, we’ll recommend the whitening option that works best for you:

  • In-Office Whitening for immediate results
  • Custom Whitening Trays for a more gradual, at-home approach

In-Office Teeth Whitening for Fast Results

If you’re looking for a dramatically brighter smile in just one visit, in-office whitening may be the perfect choice.

At Oak Tree Dental, we use a cutting-edge system that can lighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour. This process involves applying a professional-grade whitening gel and activating it with a specialized UV lamp for safe, effective, and immediate results.

We’ll also create custom whitening trays for you to take home, allowing you to maintain your bright smile for years to come.

Custom Whitening Trays for At-Home Convenience

For a gentler, more gradual approach, our custom whitening trays offer a convenient solution.

These trays are designed to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring the whitening gel stays on your teeth and off your gums, preventing irritation. We’ll provide you with a professional-grade whitening gel and detailed instructions tailored to your needs.

Most patients wear their trays for 30 minutes to an hour each day, or overnight, depending on the formula. Within a week or two, you’ll notice a whiter, brighter smile—and you can keep your trays for future touch-ups.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening at Oak Tree Dental?

While over-the-counter options may seem convenient, they often fall short of professional whitening in both safety and effectiveness. Here’s why our treatments stand out:

  • Faster Results: Professional whitening achieves brighter teeth in less time, reducing the risk of prolonged sensitivity.
  • Custom Fit: Our whitening trays are tailored to your teeth, preventing the whitening gel from contacting your gums and causing irritation.
  • Safety First: DIY methods, like charcoal toothpaste or abrasive agents, can harm your enamel and gums. Our treatments are carefully monitored to protect your oral health.

Before starting any whitening treatment, we recommend a dental exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and to address any existing dental work that may not respond to whitening.

I had my new patient exam with Dr. Navarrete and Andrea today, and they were a great team! Oak Tree Dental was referred to me by some friends of mine who go there. The Doctor answered all of my questions I had about my treatment; they were very clear about the timeline and what to expect, which made the whole process so much easier for me. Thank you to Dr. Navarrete and his team for being so friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate the time they took to make my visit so comfortable. Highly recommend! :)

I'm a pretty tough mama EXCEPT when it comes to the dentist (ok and ticks too but who's not afraid of those!) I embarrassingly went wayyyyy too long without dental care out of fear. Rather getting cavities than go back.I was referred to Oaktree for that very reason and can not be more grateful. They are so, so kind. Never making me feel bad having gone so long and very attentive to my fear. Communicating everything they are doing before they do it, checking in constantly, and taking breaks for deep breaths when needed. Oaktree's helping get my dental needs back on track while making me feel comfortable and confident about going back. Big nonjudgmental, kind, nurturing sweethearts.

I have been going to the same dentist office for 56 years and he retired. I had great referrals from a friend for Dr.Grados.and his staff. So hard going to someone new but they did everything to make me comfortable. All very nice and explained everything. Also Dr. Grados took his time with me and never seemed to be in a hurry. Would recommend him and his friendly office highly. Had a lengthy procedure today and Dr. Grados did a wonderful job. He is so kind.Today I went for two crowns. Dr. Grados makes them there . No temporary’s, no coming back for permanents. Amazing and meticulous.

2021 - June I just moved here a few months before I contacted them, and was pleased that my call was returned. they told me of all the details which would be done. I also needed two crowns, etc. and the whole things was done the same day! I was surprised that they didn't send me home with two temp ones!everyone is nice and attentive.Update: I went again for cleaning and that was the best cleaning I have had for a long time.Update: 2024 This is an amazing and professional office. very caring, clean, straight, friendly, on time, and they use latest technology.

Dr. Grados and his staff are extremely competent, friendly and reassuring, the office is immaculate and appealing, the pricing is quite competitive (especially their discounted plan for people without dental insurance). Exams are thorough, in-house fabrication and fitting of dental crowns by Drs. Grados and Navarette have been impeccable.
