Professional teeth whitening in Gilroy & Morgan Hill
Lotus Dental Studio offers both in-office and take-home professional teeth whitening at our Gilroy and Morgan Hill locations. In a single in-office session, most patients see their teeth lighten by 4 to 8 shades, or you can choose custom take-home trays that brighten gradually over 10 to 14 days.
Both options use clinical-strength gel that’s far stronger than anything you’ll find over the counter. Results last 6 months to 2 years, depending on diet and home care, and we offer sensitivity-friendly options for thin enamel or a history of sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does teeth whitening work?
Professional whitening uses hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down stains into smaller pieces, making your teeth look visibly whiter.
How white can my teeth get with professional whitening?
Most patients see their teeth lighten by 4 to 8 shades after a single in-office whitening at Gilroy and Morgan Hill. The exact result depends on the type of staining (surface vs. deep), the natural shade you start at, and your enamel thickness. Our take-home tray system delivers a more gradual lighting over 10 to 14 days.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Absolutely. We take precautions to protect your gums and monitor for any sensitivity.
Will whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours after whitening. Before treatment, we evaluate enamel thickness and sensitivity history. For sensitive patients, we offer thicker custom trays, lower-strength gel formulas, and pre-treatment desensitizing options to minimize discomfort.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Results from professional whitening typically last 6 months to 2 years, depending on diet (coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco are the biggest culprits) and home care. We provide custom take-home trays for touch-ups so patients can maintain their results between visits without paying for full treatment again.
Does Lotus Dental Studio offer in-office or take-home whitening?
We offer both. In-office whitening produces dramatic results in a single appointment at our Gilroy or Morgan Hill office. Custom take-home trays deliver a more gradual result over 10 to 14 days at a lower cost. Dr. Atraya recommends the right option based on the type of staining and your timeline.
Why isn't my drugstore whitening kit working?
Over-the-counter whitening trays are made in generic sizes and use much weaker bleaching gel than what we use professionally. They're also more likely to cause uneven whitening or gum irritation because the trays don't fit properly. Custom trays from Lotus Dental Studio are molded to your teeth and use clinical-strength gel.
Can I whiten teeth with crowns, veneers, or fillings?
Our Morgan Hill and Gilroy whitening only works on natural tooth enamel; it doesn't change the color of crowns, veneers, or composite fillings. If you have visible restorations on your front teeth, we'll discuss the options before whitening so you don't end up with mismatched shades.
