Affordable Teeth Whitening?
By the Premier Dental Esthetics team, led by Dr. Peter S. Young, DDS, MAGD
If you are like most web users, you have probably discovered the multitude of ads for ‘free teeth whitening kits’. Do they work? At Premier Dental Esthetics in Arcadia, we took a closer look.
Some of these ads show a ‘real South Temple City mom’ who discovered a ‘tooth whitening secret’. Others assure you that their system is the one that ‘Monrovia dentists don’t want you to know about’. Many contain a link to a page that contains a convincing tooth whitening testimonial. They bolster their legitimacy by aligning themselves with respected companies such as CNN, USA Today and Forbes.
Unfortunately, most of these are fraudulent. In a recent article, the Better Business Bureau explained:
The countless websites for various teeth whitening products claim to offer a no-risk, money back guarantee, free trial of the product. To sign up, customers must provide a credit or debit card number to cover shipping. Complainants to BBB state that they are billed before their trial ends and continue to be billed after they have told the company they want to cancel.
Complainants also may find mystery charges for other companies and services that they didn’t realize they were signing up for with their ‘free’ trial.
The BBB has received complaints about the following company/product names:
- Dazzle White
- White Smile
- Teeth Smile
- Dazzle Smile
- Ivory White
- Max White
- My Whitening
- Gleaming White Smile
- Advanced Wellness Research

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer? Ask our virtual assistant in the corner, or call our front desk.
Is professional teeth whitening better than store-bought kits?
Professional whitening is supervised by your dentist, uses stronger and more controlled formulas, and typically brightens teeth more evenly and quickly than over-the-counter kits.
Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?
No — whitening only lightens natural tooth enamel. Your dentist will plan any crowns, veneers or fillings to match your whitened shade.
What cosmetic dentistry treatments do you offer?
Porcelain veneers (including prepless and 3D-printed veneers), professional teeth whitening, dental bonding, gummy smile treatment, CEREC same-day porcelain crowns and complete smile makeovers.
Why choose Dr. Peter S. Young for cosmetic dentistry?
Dr. Young is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry — a distinction held by fewer than 100 dentists worldwide — and has completed over 4,000 hours of advanced continuing education since 1988.
Can I see results from real patients?
Yes. The Smile Gallery shows before-and-after photos of real patients treated at Premier Dental Esthetics, and the Testimonials page has video stories.
Do you accept dental insurance?
Yes. The practice accepts PPO dental insurance, including Delta Dental PPO and Cigna Dental PPO, and the team will verify your benefits and help you maximize your coverage.
