Teeth Whitening in Carmel Valley
Professional whitening for a dramatically brighter smile
In-office teeth whitening at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley costs $300–$600 and delivers results up to 6–10 shades brighter in a single 60–90 minute appointment — far beyond what strips or drugstore trays can achieve.
Professional teeth whitening at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley starts at $300 for in-office treatment and $200 for custom take-home kits — both supervised by Dr. Maggie Abadan, DDS, using clinical-strength gel that penetrates enamel staining that over-the-counter strips cannot reach. Patients at our San Diego office at 4765 Carmel Mountain Rd typically see results 6–10 shades brighter, often after just one appointment.
If you have an event in the next week or two, in-office whitening takes about 60–90 minutes and you leave the same day noticeably brighter. If you prefer to go gradually, Dr. Abadan makes custom-fitted trays that hold the gel evenly against every tooth — you wear them nightly for 2–4 weeks and get results that match in-office quality. Either way, Dr. Abadan checks your enamel first to make sure whitening is the right move for you.
