Any Effective Toothpaste? Teeth Whitening in Arcadia
By the Premier Dental Esthetics team, led by Dr. Peter S. Young, DDS, MAGD
Are yellowing teeth getting you down? If so, you are not alone! Our Premier Dental Esthetics patients in Arcadia, along with millions of other Americans, have made teeth whitening one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic dentistry.
There are lots of over-the-counter dental products that promise to improve your smile. The grocery store of filled with them. Are any of them any good?
Whitening toothpastes work by adding chemical agents that can gently polish and whiten teeth. They only remove surface stains. This ordinarily results in whitening by roughly one shade.
Whitening strips are about as effective, with the added limitation of only working on the front of the teeth.
The professional-grade whitening products used at Premier Dental Esthetics can whiten your teeth up to eight shades. That is quite a difference!
Once you see the dramatic changes that can happen with in-office teeth whitening, you may wonder why you waited so long to have it done. Other cosmetic dentistry services from Premier Dental Esthetics in Arcadia include porcelain veneers and dental implants. We stress the importance of maintaining dental health at every appointment.

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.
