Professional gel lifts several shades in a single supervised session, which is work that a drugstore kit spreads across weeks of nightly use.
Do your teeth look darker in photos than in the mirror? Cameras are honest about shade in a way bathroom lighting never is, and teeth whitening in Carmichael, CA, closes that gap. Marconi Dental Group checks the health of every tooth before brightening any of them.
Teeth whitening is a supervised treatment that uses professional-strength gel to lift staining from within the enamel, lightening the natural tooth by several shades. Dr. Dylan Kovar confirms the teeth are healthy first, since whitening over untreated decay or an exposed root creates real discomfort. Dr. Werner Visagé weighs in when recession has left root surfaces that will not respond the way enamel does.
Professional gel lifts several shades in a single supervised session, which is work that a drugstore kit spreads across weeks of nightly use.
Trays and application are matched to your own arch, so the color lifts uniformly instead of leaving bright patches beside the untouched edges.
Strength and timing are adjusted to how your teeth respond, and desensitizing steps are built in rather than left for you to sort out later.
A professionally lifted shade holds far longer than a surface polish, and periodic touch-ups keep it there without starting the process over.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Schedule AppointmentDr. Kovar confirms there is no active decay, no failing restoration, and no exposed root before any gel is allowed to touch a tooth in your mouth.
Your starting shade is documented against a standard guide, which is the only reliable way to measure how far the treatment actually moved it.
A protective barrier is placed along the gumline so that the gel works on enamel alone and your soft tissue stays comfortable the entire time.
Professional-strength gel is applied in timed sessions, with the shade checked between each round so the process stops at exactly the right point.
You leave with clear guidance for the first 48 hours, when enamel is most porous and coffee, wine, and dark sauces undo your progress fastest.
Dulling Shade — Your teeth have drifted a few shades darker over the years, and the change is obvious to you in photographs even if nobody else ever mentions it.
Surface Staining — Coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco have left behind a general dullness that brushing lifts briefly and then loses again within a day or two.
Failed Kits — Store strips and whitening toothpaste have produced very little, which often means the staining sits deeper than a surface product reaches.
Upcoming Event — A wedding, a reunion, or a round of professional photos is on the calendar and you want the shade settled well before the day itself arrives.
Nothing gets whitened until the teeth are confirmed healthy, because gel on an untreated cavity or an exposed root turns into a painful mistake.
Concentration and session length are adjusted for how your teeth react, so discomfort is something we plan around rather than something you tolerate.
Before and after shades are documented against a guide, which keeps the result measurable instead of resting on how it happens to look at home.
Crowns, veneers, and bonded fillings hold their original color, so we map out where existing work sits before deciding what whitening can do.

Most patients hold their new shade for one to three years, depending on how much coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco factor into daily life. A short touch-up brings it back rather than requiring the full treatment again.
Porcelain and composite hold whatever shade they were made in, so existing restorations stay exactly as they are. When front teeth already have visible work, Dr. Kovar discusses sequencing before treatment, since replacing that work afterward may be the better order.
Temporary cold sensitivity for a day or two is common and fades on its own. Our dentist adjusts the concentration and session length for teeth that react strongly, and desensitizing treatment is available before and after.
Whitening sits at the affordable end of cosmetic treatment, and our front desk quotes the exact figure before you book. Marconi Dental Plan members receive 30% off cash fees.
Dental plans classify whitening as cosmetic, so it is almost never covered by insurance. Cherry, CareCredit, and in-house financing are available, and the membership plan discount applies if you are not carrying dental coverage.
