At LALUME Dental Studio, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening options, so you can brighten your smile on your terms. Whether you choose whitening as a standalone treatment or as part of a comprehensive smile design, in-office whitening delivers immediate results in just one visit, while our take-home kits allow you to whiten gradually with professional-grade gel and custom trays.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lifts stains and lightens the shade of your natural teeth using professional-grade bleaching agents. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional whitening provides faster, more dramatic results with custom application methods.
Our Newport Beach practice offers both in-office and take-home whitening options. In-office teeth whitening in Newport Beach delivers immediate results in just one visit, typically within 60 to 90 minutes. Our take-home kits allow you to whiten gradually with professional-grade gel and custom trays.
Professional whitening provides dramatic results customized to your smile.
In-office whitening treatments can brighten your smile by several shades in under an hour. No over-the-counter kit comes close to the results you'll see with professional treatment.
Our custom trays ensure even coverage and avoid the patchy, uneven results that can come from drugstore strips or gels. Every tooth receives the same level of attention and whitening agent. For patients seeking a complete smile transformation, whitening pairs beautifully with composite veneers or Invisalign treatment.
Professional whitening is monitored to minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel, unlike harsher store-bought alternatives that can damage tooth structure. If you have sensitive teeth or existing dental work, we'll create a customized approach. For anxious patients, we offer sedation dentistry options, and you can even start with a virtual consultation from the comfort of home.
We'll begin with a quick consultation to evaluate your enamel, discuss your goals, and determine which whitening method is best for you. We'll also assess any existing restorations and ensure teeth whitening is the right solution. If you have gum disease or sensitivity concerns, we'll address those first to ensure optimal whitening results.
If you choose in-office whitening, we'll start by protecting your gums and lips before applying a high-concentration whitening gel to your teeth. A specialized LED light is then used to accelerate the whitening process and break down stains. The entire treatment takes about 60 to 90 minutes and is ideal for patients who want fast, dramatic results with little to no downtime. Most patients see their teeth lighten by several shades in a single session.
For a more gradual and flexible option, we'll take impressions of your teeth to create custom whitening trays. You'll receive a professional-grade whitening gel and clear instructions on how to use it at home. Typically, you'll wear the trays for 30 to 60 minutes a day over 1 to 2 weeks. This method offers excellent results with the convenience of whitening on your own schedule.
Professional teeth whitening in Newport Beach typically costs between $250 and $700. In-office treatments like Zoom use a light-activated gel to brighten teeth up to eight shades in about one hour. Take-home kits with custom trays use carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide gel and require one to two weeks of nightly use. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on stain type and sensitivity level.
We’re here to answer your questions about professional teeth whitening in Newport Beach.
With proper care and maintenance, whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Avoiding staining foods and using touch-up trays can help prolong your results. We offer preventive dental care to help maintain your bright smile.
Yes. We use products that are formulated for sensitivity and can recommend the best option to keep you comfortable throughout treatment. Dr. Saad may suggest a lower concentration gel or shorter treatment sessions.
Whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel. If you have crowns, veneers, or bonded teeth, we’ll help you explore options to keep your entire smile looking balanced and bright. Dental crowns and veneers may need to be replaced to match your newly whitened teeth. If you have white spots on your teeth, we can address those before or after whitening for the most uniform results.
Professional teeth whitening in Newport Beach uses higher concentration bleaching agents and custom-fitted trays that deliver superior results. Over-the-counter strips and gels often provide uneven coverage and minimal whitening effect.
The first step is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Saad at our Newport Beach office. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss your whitening goals, and recommend the best treatment option for your needs.

Wow, wow, wow am I glad I found Dr Saad! Not only is her office absolutely beautiful, she and her staff are so welcoming and efficient. Dr Saad took the time to address all of my concerns and gave me the confidence to finally move forward with some cosmetic dentistry that, after a fairly traumatic experience with another dentist a few years back, I have been hesitant to restart. I am SO happy with the results. Her comfort menu is an added bonus for anyone nervous about going to the dentist. I have never loved or felt confident about my smile, but I do now thanks to Dr Saad. I would highly recommend Lalume Dental Studio to anyone.
I recently had a filling done by Dr. Saad at LaLume Dental Studio, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The office itself is beautiful, more reminiscent of a luxury spa than a typical dental practice. However, the welcoming staff quickly puts you at ease, striking a perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Dr. Saad is truly outstanding in her field. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, which greatly alleviated any anxiety I had. Her technique is remarkably gentle; I was surprised at how comfortable I felt throughout the entire process, even during the anesthetic injection. What stood out most was Dr. Saad’s efficiency without compromising on quality. The procedure was completed swiftly, yet the results are impeccable. My new filling feels completely natural – I can’t even detect it when eating.For anyone in need of a filling or any dental work, I highly recommend Dr. Saad. Her expertise and approach have genuinely changed my perspective on dental visits. LaLume Dental Studio offers a level of care and comfort that sets a new standard for dental experiences.
I have the worst anxiety about dental work and Dr. Saad is an ANGEL. She is just so warm, genuine, patient, and understanding. Soooo glad I found her new office because I fully trust her judgment and expertise for a treatment plan. Marissa was also so so so lovely — very thoughtful, quick, kind, and funny. I really appreciated their care today (and the beautiful aesthetic vibey office) and look forward to my next appt!
Dr. Saad is a life saver! I was born missing my two front side teeth and never felt confident to smile. No dentist ever made me feel comfortable to move forward with dental treatment until I discovered Dr. Saad. I appreciate that Dr. Saad spent ample time explaining all of my options in great detail and put my severe dental anxiety at ease. Not only is she very smart and up to date on the latest technology, she is SO sweet and her eye for detail is impeccable. I can’t thank her enough for giving me the smile of my dreams!
Dr. Saad and her entire team are fantastic! I needed to replace some old veneers, crowns and a bridge and was dreading it. Dr. Saad provided the absolute best care and designed a smile that far exceeded my expectations. The process was as painless as possible and with light sedation, it was stress-free. Dr. Saad is up to date on the latest developments and technology, too. Highly recommend for any cosmetic dentistry!
