Teeth Whitening in Vista, CA
Professional whitening that lightens your teeth several shades in about an hour, with custom trays to keep it bright at home.
In-Office and Take-Home
Professional Whitening, In the Office and at Home
Coffee, tea, soda, red wine, berries and tobacco all stain teeth, and with age the enamel wears and the yellower layer underneath shows through. Professional whitening lifts those stains.
Choose in-office whitening for the fastest result, take-home whitening with custom trays, or both: every in-office whitening comes with take-home trays to keep it up.
Where Patients Start
When Whitening is Worth Considering
- Your teeth have yellowed over the years.
- Coffee, tea or red wine has left its mark.
- You've tried store-bought strips and want a stronger result.
- You want a brighter smile without changing the shape of your teeth.
Your consultation is where we check whether whitening will work on your teeth, or whether something else would get you there.
Two Ways to Whiten
In-Office Whitening or Take-Home Trays
Whitening works on natural teeth only. Porcelain veneers, crowns and tooth-colored fillings keep their color, so if you have them on front teeth, bring it up before you whiten.
In-Office Whitening
We protect your gums with a barrier, apply a whitening gel for about 10 to 15 minutes, rinse, and repeat until you reach the shade you want. It can lighten teeth several shades in about an hour.
Take-Home Whitening
Custom-made trays and professional whitening gel, so you whiten on your own schedule and touch up whenever you like.
What to Expect
What to Expect From Professional Whitening
1
Your Exam
We check your teeth and gums first. Some dental conditions make whitening a poor fit, and the exam settles it.
2
Whitening
In the office or at home, the gel lifts stains a shade at a time.
3
Keeping It Bright
How long it lasts depends on what you eat and drink, your habits and your genetics; many people keep the result for about six months or so. Rinse after coffee, tea or wine, skip tobacco, and use your take-home trays for touch-ups.

Dr. John Coleman and his staff are simple the Best. NO KA OI.
I could not be more pleased with Dr. Rice’s care of my long overdue dental treatment. I knew I could trust his recommendations from our first consultation. He did a wonderful job of attending to the work with patience for my fear, he and his staff have treated me to the most kindness and professionalism I could have ever asked for. My mouth is pain free for the first time in a couple of years and it has made a world of difference. I don’t think anyone should go anywhere else for their dental concerns. I am glad I was referred by a friend and would recommend Dr. Rice and his support staff at Coleman Dentistry very highly.
Such a great experience! I have always been terrified of going to the dentist. They were so nice and professional. Made getting a filling an easy and comfortable time. And a big shout out to Imani!!! She was awesome and made my day 🙂
From the front office to the hygienist to the Doctor, this place is top notch. Amazing customer service and attention to detail. I don’t like going to the dentist but Coleman Denistry makes it less stressful.
I ( we) have been to many dentists ( dental offices) over the years. This one is exceptional in every way. Starting with absolutely lovely people from the dentists to all the staff. They leave no stone unturned to make patients feel welcome, comfortable, and cared about. And the dental work and care is the best I have Ever experienced. I don’t even live in the area any more, yet I return. Believe me other dental practices and staff could take a lesson ( or two) from this one. Such a blessing. I am grateful.

When Color Isn’t the Only Change
Other Ways to Brighten Your Smile
Porcelain Veneers
Custom porcelain that changes color and shape at once, and resists stains better than natural enamel.
Cosmetic Bonding
Tooth-colored resin for a stain that whitening won't lift, or a chip on the same tooth.
Is professional whitening better than store-bought kits?
Professional whitening uses professional whitening gel, applied in the office with your gums protected or at home in trays made for your teeth, and your exam checks first that whitening suits your teeth.
Does charcoal or oil pulling whiten teeth?
We don’t recommend either. Charcoal is abrasive and can wear away enamel, which doesn’t grow back, and oil pulling hasn’t been scientifically evaluated for dental benefits.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients notice mild, temporary sensitivity or gum irritation afterward. It usually fades on its own.
