Teeth whitening in Belmont
Carlmont Dental Care offers professional teeth whitening at 2100 Carlmont Drive, Suite 8, Belmont, CA 94002, in two forms: in-office Zoom whitening for a same-day change, and custom take-home trays for a gradual lift at your own pace. Both use dentist-strength gels that over-the-counter strips cannot match, and both start with a short exam so a dentist can confirm your teeth and gums are ready.
In-office Zoom whitening
About 60 to 90 minutes in a private room. A light-activated gel is applied in rounds, with before-and-after photos and written aftercare. Best when you want a visible change in one visit, before a wedding, an interview, or photos.
Custom take-home trays
Trays molded to your teeth at the Belmont office, worn with a lower-strength gel for a set time each day over roughly two to four weeks. Best for sensitive teeth, a slower pace, and for touch-ups after an in-office session.
Sensitivity. Temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect of either method and usually settles within a few days. Patients with a history of sensitive teeth, gum recession, or thin enamel are often steered toward trays, shorter sessions, or a desensitizing toothpaste beforehand.
How long it lasts. Results commonly last from several months to a couple of years, depending mainly on coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco habits; occasional tray touch-ups help hold the shade. Whitening lightens natural enamel only, so existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep their color and may need to be matched afterwards.
Who it suits. Whitening suits adults with healthy teeth and gums whose stains come from food, drink, or age. It is usually deferred during pregnancy or with untreated cavities or gum disease, and grey or tetracycline staining often responds better to bonding or veneers. A short evaluation is the honest way to find out which option fits. Read our comparison of Zoom whitening vs take-home trays.

Zoom Whitening: Illuminate Your Smile
Zoom Whitening FAQ
The ZOOM! Whitening treatment typically takes about 60-90 minutes, providing immediate results in a single office visit.
Yes. Along with in-office Zoom whitening, Carlmont Dental Care makes custom take-home trays from a mold of your teeth. You wear them with a lower-strength gel for a set time each day, usually over two to four weeks. Trays tend to be gentler for sensitive teeth and are also the easiest way to maintain an in-office result.
Results commonly last from several months to a couple of years. Coffee, tea, red wine, dark sodas, and tobacco shorten that window, while good hygiene and occasional tray touch-ups extend it. Whitening only lightens natural enamel, so crowns, veneers, and fillings keep their original shade and may need to be matched afterwards.
