Brighter Teeth, Bigger Confidence

If you’ve been feeling self-conscious about dull or stained teeth, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle for a smile that looks older or less vibrant than you feel. Coffee, tea, wine, and simply living life can dim your enamel over time, but the right whitening treatment can bring back that fresh, luminous glow.

As a leading cosmetic dentist in Northern Virginia, Dr. Pamela Marzban offers professional whitening that’s safe, gentle, and genuinely effective—not the harsh, unpredictable results you get with drugstore kits. Her approach lifts deep stains, revives brightness, and restores that youthful radiance so your smile looks crisp, polished, and effortlessly confident.

You deserve a smile that lights up your face again. Let’s get you there.

Convenient, Effective, and Advanced Whitening Options

To accommodate busy schedules without compromising results, we offer two advanced whitening systems—each designed to deliver dramatic, long-lasting brightness:

  • In-Office Whitening with Boost

    Ideal for patients seeking immediate brightness. In a single 60-minute visit, Boost Whitening delivers a noticeably whiter smile with minimal sensitivity. Results are instant, making it an excellent choice for upcoming events, photos, or important occasions.

  • Take-Home Whitening with Opalescence®

    For a gradual, flexible approach, our Opalescence® system allows you to whiten comfortably at home. Custom trays are filled with a professional-strength whitening gel and worn for a few hours a day or overnight. Results begin to appear within days and reach maximum brightness over several weeks. Continued use helps maintain long-term radiance.

Many patients choose to combine both systems—Boost for fast transformation and Opalescence® for continued maintenance and lasting luminosity.

If discoloration is paired with chips, cracks, spacing, or uneven shape, porcelain veneers may offer a more comprehensive cosmetic solution. Dr. Marzban will recommend the option that best aligns with your goals and desired results.

Teeth Whitening from a Dentist You Can Trust

Dr. Pamela Marzban is a highly trained cosmetic dentist in Fairfax County with advanced education from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dentistry. She and her team take the time to understand each patient’s aesthetic goals and determine whether whitening is the most effective path to achieving them.

For patients with sensitivity, Dr. Marzban can tailor the whitening formula to maintain comfort without compromising results. Unlike store-bought kits, professional whitening is monitored from start to finish to ensure safety, precision, and consistent color across every tooth.

Why Professional Whitening Outperforms Over-the-Counter Products

Drugstore whiteners may brighten the smile slightly, but they cannot match the strength, customization, or predictability of dentist-supervised treatment. Professional whitening offers:

  • Higher-strength whitening agents for more dramatic results

  • Faster outcomes—often within a single appointment

  • Adjustable formulas for sensitive teeth

  • Custom-fitted trays that improve comfort and protect gums

  • Even, consistent whitening across the entire smile

At-home strips, rinses, and toothpastes can help with minor surface stains, but they are not designed to achieve the deeper, longer-lasting results possible with professional care.

Common Questions About Teeth Whitening

  • We provide both Boost in-office whitening and Opalescence take-home kits. Boost is best for immediate, noticeable results. Opalescence delivers deeper whitening over time and allows continued touch-ups for maintenance.

  • Yes. Both Boost and Opalescence are approved by the American Dental Association (ADA) as safe and effective. Mild sensitivity may occur but is temporary. Whitening under professional supervision minimizes risk and ensures proper application.

  • Whitening lifts stains from enamel but doesn’t alter its natural color. Results depend on your enamel’s thickness and tone as well as the color of your dentin (the layer beneath). For more dramatic or uniform results, porcelain veneers can be an alternative.

  • Most surface and age-related stains respond well to whitening. However, discoloration caused by medications (such as tetracycline), fluorosis, or trauma may not. In those cases, Dr. Marzban may recommend veneers or another cosmetic solution.

  • No. Whitening only affects natural enamel. If your existing restorations no longer match your newly brightened teeth, we can replace them for a seamless look.

  • Dr. Marzban combines advanced cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry expertise with personalized care. She ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your goals—something store-bought kits can’t provide.

    • Brush twice daily and floss once a day

    • Limit dark-colored foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine)

    • Avoid smoking and tobacco

    • Schedule routine cleanings every six months

    • Use your Opalescence trays for touch-ups as recommended

  • The ADA recommends whitening no more than twice a year for comfort and enamel protection.

  • Dr. Marzban offers a downloadable information sheet about general teeth whitening, procedure options, and its advantages.
