At San Marcos Dental Center, we believe that a brighter smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. Our professional teeth whitening services are customized to your goals, schedule, and budget—making it easier than ever to achieve the radiant results you want.
Whether it’s from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, or simply the effects of aging, tooth discoloration is common. Fortunately, a whiter smile not only enhances your appearance but can also make your entire face look more youthful and refreshed. Let us help you reveal a brilliant, stain-free smile you’ll love to share.
If you’re looking for a way to enhance your smile, teeth whitening is an excellent option. This procedure effectively reduces discoloration and staining, leaving you with a noticeably brighter smile. Many people choose to whiten their teeth to boost their appearance, and with a brighter smile, you may find yourself smiling more often and feeling more confident. Additionally, a whiter smile can give you a friendlier and more approachable appearance.
At San Marcos Dental Center, we proudly offer Zoom! Teeth Whitening, a fast, safe, and effective way to dramatically brighten your smile. In just one visit, you can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades—making it one of the most efficient in-office whitening treatments available.
During your session, a concentrated Zoom! whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth, then activated using a special low-heat Zoom! light. This process allows the gel to penetrate stains deep within the enamel, breaking them down without damaging your teeth.

There are several common causes of tooth discoloration. Professional whitening can help reverse these effects and restore a brighter, more youthful smile:
Exposure to too much fluoride during childhood can leave white or brown streaks on teeth.
As enamel wears down over time, teeth may appear dull or yellow.
Some antibiotics—like tetracycline—can cause deep discoloration during tooth development.
Drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking can lead to surface stains that build up over time.
Whether you choose in-office Zoom! whitening or a take-home system, here’s what to keep in mind:
Take-home kits let you whiten your teeth gradually in the comfort of your own home.
At-home whitening may require multiple applications over several days or weeks for full results.
To keep your smile bright, occasional touch-ups are recommended—especially if you enjoy foods or drinks that stain.
At San Marcos Dental Center, we’ll help you choose the whitening option that fits your goals, schedule, and lifestyle.
Brighten your smile by several shades in about an hour—perfect before a big event or special occasion.
In-office whitening uses stronger, professional-grade formulas to eliminate deep stains that over-the-counter products can’t touch.
Every treatment is performed under expert care, minimizing sensitivity and ensuring the best possible results.
Reduce intake of staining culprits like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and dark sauces.
Smoking or chewing tobacco can rapidly discolor your teeth again.
Stay consistent with your professional dental cleanings to remove surface stains and keep your enamel strong.
Adding a whitening toothpaste to your daily routine can help maintain brightness between visits.
Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your diet, habits, and oral hygiene. Avoiding staining foods and tobacco helps extend your results.

Everyone’s enamel responds differently. Most patients see their teeth brighten by 6 to 8 shades after an in-office session.

In-office whitening delivers faster, more dramatic results in a single visit and is ideal for deeper stains. At-home kits take longer and often require daily use over several weeks.
