Professional Teeth Whitening in San Francisco

A bright, white smile is often one of the first things people notice, conveying health, youth, and confidence. Over time, however, factors like coffee, tea, red wine, and even aging can lead to tooth discoloration, leaving your smile looking dull and lackluster. At Madderra Dental Spa, we believe everyone deserves to feel proud of their smile. Our professional teeth whitening services are designed to safely and effectively erase years of staining, revealing the brilliant, beautiful smile underneath.

Unlike over-the-counter whitening products that offer limited results and can cause sensitivity, our professional-grade treatments deliver noticeable, long-lasting brightness. We utilize advanced whitening technology and materials that are both powerful and gentle on your enamel. Whether you're preparing for a special event or simply want to refresh your appearance, our team in San Francisco's Castro District is here to help you achieve your whitening goals in a comfortable, spa-like environment.

We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options to fit your lifestyle and preferences. During your consultation, Dr. Madderra or Dr. Holmann will assess your unique needs and recommend the best course of action to achieve a radiant smile that not only looks fantastic but also feels healthy and strong. Let us help you restore your smile's natural brilliance and boost your confidence.

With over 34 years of experience, Dr. Madderra has refined a whitening approach that prioritizes safety, effectiveness, and patient comfort. We understand that teeth whitening is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Our philosophy combines a conservative methodology with state-of-the-art technology to deliver brilliant results without compromising the health of your teeth.

Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your discoloration and ensure you are a good candidate for whitening. We meticulously protect your gums and soft tissues with a special barrier before applying the professional-strength whitening gel. This attention to detail minimizes sensitivity and ensures the whitening agent only contacts your tooth enamel. We use advanced LED light technology to activate the gel, accelerating the whitening process and achieving dramatic results in just one visit. This combination of experience and technology is the cornerstone of the E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) you can expect at Madderra Dental Spa.

Following your professional whitening treatment, it's important to follow a few simple guidelines to protect your investment and prolong your results. For the first 48 hours, your teeth are more susceptible to staining. We recommend avoiding dark-colored foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and soy sauce. This is often called the 'white diet'.

You may experience some temporary tooth sensitivity, which should resolve within a day or two. Using a desensitizing toothpaste can help alleviate any discomfort. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, is crucial for keeping your smile bright and healthy long-term.
