Why Choose
Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpaste can’t match the speed, safety, or results of in-office whitening. Our professional solutions are designed to lift stains more effectively, protect your enamel, and give you a noticeably brighter smile — without the risk of gum irritation or damage from overuse.
What Makes In-Office Whitening So Effective?
- Brightens teeth up to 10 shades in one visit
- Reaches stains deep in enamel and between teeth
- Customized to your sensitivity level and smile goals
- Administered by a trained dental professional
- Safe for enamel and soft tissues
At our Monterey office, we use only ADA-approved, professional-grade products — ensuring you receive superior results in the safest way possible.
What Patients Are Saying

This dental practice is friendly, personable, professional and takes time to provide comforting details. And I had the best teeth cleaning that I can ever remember having. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I feel I am in good hands with Dr. Sarah. She is gentle, kind and informative. She has the energy of a healer. The staff is wonderful. They even give you a heated neck pillow and a blanket for your comfort and relieve any anxiousness one might have being in the dentist chair.

Stacy Russo is the very best dental hygienist I’ve had! She’s thorough, efficient, and has a wicked sense of humor woven into the mix. She apologizes if she hurts me, and quickly continues her work. With one eye on the clock, she finishes on time. Every time. I hope she never retires (sorry Stacy)! ❤️❤️❤️

Stacey is a fantastic hygienist. I've been seeing her for 25 years as has my husband. Dr Frahm has owned this practice for 3 years. She is very caring. Matter of fact, the entire staff is top notch. They are all caring, pleasant and diligent. I highly recommend this dental practice.

This is, hands down, the VERY BEST DENTIST I have ever experienced in my entire life! And I say that with emphasis.
Immediately just by walking into the office, it's already different. And the way every single person treats you, it almost feels like it's out of a movie. It doesn't seem real. Almost too good to be true...
Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening affordable?
Yes! Teeth whitening is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments available. It’s a quick and easy way to enhance your smile without a major investment.
What’s the difference between at-home and in-office teeth whitening?
At-home whitening takes longer and may cause gum irritation or enamel damage. In-office treatments like Zoom are safer, stronger, and deliver noticeable results in about an hour.
Will teeth whitening work for everyone?
Teeth whitening works best on natural tooth enamel. If you have porcelain crowns, veneers, or composite fillings on your front teeth, those materials won’t respond to whitening. We’ll walk you through cosmetic options to maintain an even, bright smile.
How fast does professional teeth whitening work?
With Zoom or Sinsational Smile, most patients see noticeable results in one visit — often up to 10 shades brighter. Take-home kits show results gradually over a few weeks.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening in Monterey, CA gives you renewed confidence in your smile without the damaging effects of bleaching. When performed by a dentist, whitening your teeth comes with many benefits to your oral health.
While there are many at-home teeth whitening products available that are approved by the American Dental Association, the benefits listed below focus on professional teeth whitening with products only available through a dentist:
- Professional-grade teeth whitening gets into the nooks and crannies between your teeth, where stains can be hard to reach with at-home teeth whiteners. A dentist can reduce moderate to severe stains and discoloration that at-home whitening products can’t fix.
- It’s a speedy and low-risk process compared to teeth whitening strips available at drug stores. By visiting a dentist, your teeth can be up to 10 shades whiter in about an hour!
- You have access to a customized treatment specific to you when seeing your dentist for teeth whitening. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products take a one-size-fits-all approach and you run the risk of burning your gum tissue.
Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening System
ZOOM is a fast, effective, and safe way to brighten your smile. With the ZOOM teeth whitening system, we use a high-powered, whitening solution and a patented light system to whiten your teeth up to 10 shades in about an hour. When administered by our expertly trained care team, ZOOM’s state-of-the-art system quickly removes enamel stains.
ZOOM works best for patients who have little or no dental work on front teeth and only whitens tooth enamel. Unfortunately, tetracycline-stained teeth, porcelain, and composite materials will not whiten or become more brilliant with ZOOM. The only way to whiten tooth-colored materials is to replace them, which we are happy to help with too.
Teeth Whitening Options
Dr. Frahm knows you want to make the right choice for your health and appearance, which is why we offer our patients two high-tech options for teeth whitening:
- For a more gradual result, we provide custom, take-home, teeth whitening kits. We only use professional brands exclusive to dental care professionals, ensuring the best outcome for you.
- If you prefer immediate whitening results, we often recommend Sinsational Smile or ZOOM. Both are in-office whitening treatments that take an hour or less to perform.
