Teeth Whitening
In Newport Beach

A bright smile can make all the difference. Whether you’re prepping for a special event or just want to refresh your look, professional teeth whitening is a simple, effective way to boost your confidence.

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lifts stains and lightens the shade of your natural teeth. At LALUME Dental Studio, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening options, so you can brighten your smile on your terms. 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.

of 

Teeth Whitening

Dramatic results, customized to your smile.

Faster, more noticeable results

In-office whitening treatments can brighten your smile by several shades in under an hour—no over-the-counter kit comes close.

Even, consistent whitening

Our custom trays ensure even coverage and avoid the patchy, uneven results that can come from drugstore strips or gels.

Safe and sensitivity-aware

Professional whitening is monitored to minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel, unlike harsher store-bought alternatives.

The teeth whitening treatment process

Consultation and Shade Assessment

We’ll begin with a quick consultation to evaluate your enamel, discuss your goals, and determine which whitening method is best for you—either in-office or take-home.

In-Office Whitening

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 60–90 minutes and is ideal for patients who want fast, dramatic results with little to no downtime.

Take-Home Whitening

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 for 30–60 minutes a day over 1 to 2 weeks. This method offers excellent results with the convenience of whitening on your own schedule.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and given a personal tour of the facility.

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.

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!
