Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over time, teeth become discolored due to aging, dietary habits, or lifestyle factors like coffee, tea, or tobacco use. While over-the-counter products offer temporary fixes, professional whitening at Lanphier Family Dentistry delivers dramatic, long-lasting brightness by safely removing deep stains without damaging enamel. Clinical-grade whitening agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, penetrate enamel to break down pigments more effectively than store-bought kits. Studies show professionally whitened teeth can lighten by 6–8 shades in a single session, enhancing both aesthetics and self-confidence.
Why Trust Lanphier Family Dentistry?
Expertise Backed by Decades of Care
Since 1955, our practice has been a trusted name in Marin County, offering compassionate, family-focused dental care. Led by Dr. Rita Lanphier, our team specializes in customized whitening solutions tailored to your needs, whether you prefer an in-office treatment or take-home trays.
Advanced Whitening Technology
We use Sinsational Smile, an innovative in-office system that brightens teeth by up to 8 shades in just 20–30 minutes. This gentle, peroxide-based gel is activated with a specialized light, ensuring even results without sensitivity. For at-home care, we provide custom-fitted trays with professional-grade whitening gel, allowing you to maintain your smile on your schedule.
Patient-Centered Approach
We prioritize comfort and transparency, offering free whitening for new patients after their initial exam and X-rays. Our team also accommodates sensitivity concerns with tailored treatments and follow-up care.
Our San Rafael Teeth Whitening Process
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
During your consultation, we assess your oral health and discuss your goals. Using intraoral cameras and digital scans, we identify stain types and recommend the ideal method-whether in-office Sinsational Smile or take-home trays.
Step 2: Customized Treatment
For in-office whitening, we protect your gums with a barrier gel before applying the whitening agent. A curing light enhances the gel’s effectiveness, with most patients achieving results in under an hour. Take-home kits include custom trays and professional-strength gel for gradual whitening over 1–2 weeks.
Step 3: Maintenance & Follow-Up
We provide aftercare tips to prolong your results, such as avoiding stain-causing foods and using touch-up gels. Regular dental cleanings at our San Rafael office help maintain your bright smile.
