Professional teeth whitening in Saratoga, CA at Genuine Care Dental comes in three forms, so you can choose what fits your teeth and your schedule. Each one uses professional-strength gel. Your dentist checks your teeth and gums first, so whitening is done safely and suits you.
Zoom in-office whitening is done in a single visit of about 90 minutes. We protect your gums, record your starting shade, whiten your teeth, and record your new shade before you leave. You also go home with trays and a touch-up kit. It is a good fit when there is a date on the calendar, like a wedding, an interview, or a reunion.
With Zoom take-home whitening, you brighten your teeth at home over two to three weeks. We make custom trays from a scan of your teeth and give you professional-strength gel, so the change is gradual and even. The trays are yours to keep for touch-ups later.
KöR is made for stubborn stains, including tetracycline stains, and for teeth that tend to be sensitive. You wear sealed trays overnight for about two weeks. The gel is kept refrigerated so it stays fresh, and a desensitizer is built into the system.
Not sure which to pick? We look at your teeth and talk through your goals before you decide.
Whitening at our office is for established patients, which means you have had your new patient exam and cleaning with us. If you are new to Genuine Care Dental, we start with that visit and treat any cavities or gum concerns first. Then we plan your whitening together.
Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and simply getting older can all dull your teeth. Whitening lifts many of those stains. It does not change crowns, veneers, or fillings, so we will tell you honestly what to expect.
Results vary with your diet and habits. Limit staining foods and drinks, rinse with water after coffee or tea, and keep brushing, flossing, and coming to your cleanings. Some people feel temporary sensitivity, so tell us if your teeth are sensitive and we will adjust the plan. If you are pregnant or nursing, talk to us before whitening.
If you also want to change the shape or shade of specific teeth, we can talk about other cosmetic options at your visit, such as dental bonding or porcelain veneers. Whitening is one step, and we will help you decide what comes next, if anything.

A brighter smile should come with a relaxed visit, so we made our office a place you want to be. We didn't want it to feel like a dental office, so we didn't build one. Warm wood, real plants, a couch you'd actually choose to sit on, and chairs picked for comfort as much as function, all so you forget where you actually are.
Dr. Rong and Mia lead the practice with an expert team that listens first. Try an anxiety blanket and calming aroma, a neck pillow, lip balm, and dark sunglasses. Pick a show on the screens, charge your phone at no charge, and enjoy a coffee before or after your appointment.
“Too often I see patients go into an office and they're just seen as a set of teeth with no person behind them. I want to know not only what our patients need, but also what they want, in terms of their health, their looks, and how they feel.”
– Dr. Rong, owner
“I absolutely would recommend Genuine Care, and I have already done so many times.”
– Amy, patient
“Dr. Rong was very patient. He carefully explained the treatment, so I feel very confident and comfortable.”
– Raymond, patient
