Did you know…
Teeth whitening only works on natural teeth, and cannot whiten dental work like fillings, crowns, and veneers.
The Benefits Of Teeth Whitening
Fast treatment
You can remove stains and brighten your smile by up to 5-10 shades in just one in-office appointment, or in about two weeks of daily treatments with take-home treatments.
Completely non-invasive
No needles, pills, or drills required! Teeth whitening doesn’t involve any kind of invasive treatment, so it’s a particularly great option for patients who may have dental anxiety.
Amazing results
Your newly-whitened smile will make you look younger, feel better about your teeth, and boost your confidence. You’ll never have to hide your teeth due to stains again.
The Teeth Whitening Treatment Process
Cosmetic consultation
First, you’ll come into PivoSmiles for a consultation with Dr. Jonathan Pivo. He will discuss your options for cosmetic treatment, including teeth whitening. Not all stains can be treated with whitening, so it’s important to make sure that it’s the right choice for your unique needs.
In-office teeth whitening
You can choose in-office whitening for the fastest results. To begin your treatment, Dr. Pivo will clean your teeth and apply a protectant to your gums. Then, he will use retractors to keep your tongue and lips away from your teeth, apply a powerful whitener, and activate it with a UV light. He’ll rinse the whitener away after about five minutes, and repeat this process until your smile reaches the desired brightness.
Take-home teeth whitening
In take-home whitening, we’ll take impressions of your smile and build a set of reusable whitening trays. It takes a couple of weeks to make these trays. When they're done, you’ll come pick them up, along with your whitening products and instructions on how to use them. Most patients will whiten their teeth at home for about an hour per day, and will see maximum results within 2-3 weeks.
Before & Afters
A smile is worth 1,000 words.

You’ll usually see the best results for at least 1-2 years after your teeth whitening treatment in Valley Village. There are lots of ways to keep your smile bright, too. For example, you can prolong your results by using a whitening toothpaste, avoiding staining foods and drinks, taking good care of your teeth, and seeing the team at PivoSmiles for preventive care, including six-month teeth cleanings.
