Teeth Whitening in Scottsdale, AZ
Your smile’s brightness is a prominent feature of your facial appearance. People notice it, and our society associates whiter teeth with people who are more confident, friendlier, and more attractive.
However, enamel color changes over time. Your teeth can become dull or discolored due to inadequate oral hygiene, the foods you eat, drinks like coffee and wine, and tobacco use. Regular brushing and flossing help but are not effective in undoing any dullness and discoloration that has already occurred.
At Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer teeth whitening options that can restore your smile to its former radiance and brilliance. Professional teeth whitening is superior to over-the-counter brands, lifting years of stains and leaving you with a noticeably brighter smile.

Fast Results with In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening is the fastest way to achieve a significantly whiter smile. The process begins with a thorough teeth cleaning to remove surface plaque or debris. Next, we apply a protective barrier to protect them from irritation. We then carefully apply the prescription-strength whitening gel to the teeth.
Once the gel is in place, we may use a special light to activate the whitening agent, helping to break down stains and discoloration. This process is typically repeated in several short sessions during the same appointment, with the entire treatment lasting about an hour. You will enjoy a brighter smile immediately and receive a take-home kit to ensure the results last as long as possible.

Professional Whitening vs. OTC Products
We carefully monitor your treatment to ensure the products used are effective yet gentle on your teeth and gums.
- Customized Treatment — Dr. Clark assesses your dental health and tailors the whitening process to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results while minimizing the risk of sensitivity or irritation.
- Stronger Whitening Agents — Unlike OTC products, the active ingredients in professional whitening products are highly concentrated leading to more dramatic and faster results.
- Even Coverage — Custom-fitted trays used in take-home kits and the careful application of whitening gel during in-office treatments prevent uneven whitening and protect sensitive gum tissue.
- Reduced Sensitivity Risk — We can adjust your treatment to your needs, minimizing the risk of tooth sensitivity that can sometimes occur with whitening. Dr. Clark can also recommend specific products or techniques to alleviate any sensitivity.
- Controlled Environment — Whitening with a cosmetic dentist means careful control over the process to reduce the risk of overuse or improper application that can sometimes occur with OTC products. This ensures your enamel is protected and the whitening process is as safe as possible.

Will teeth whitening work on all types of stains?
No, there are some stains that professional teeth whitening may not remove.
Let’s take a look at the two different types of stains:
- Extrinsic stains — These stains are on your tooth’s surface and are caused by coffee, tea, wine, berries, and tobacco. Because they haven’t penetrated your tooth enamel, teeth whitening is often effective.
- Intrinsic stains — These stains are below your tooth enamel in the dentin layer of your tooth and are caused by trauma, certain medications, aging, or too much fluoride. Although teeth whitening may work for some intrinsic stains, your dentist may recommend other treatment options, such as bonding, veneers, or cosmetic crowns.
