Southwest Hills Dentistry is a full-service dental clinic which means that they can provide a wide range of dental services to their patients. And we happen to know that one of their most popular services is teeth whitening.

Well, the clinic does have a simple process for teeth whitening, thanks to custom trays designed specifically for their customers’ mouths. This, in our opinion, although not the usual type of teeth whitening, is the safer option for this process.

For instance, the mouth tray helps prevent the bleaching solution from getting into the person’s gums during treatment. We note this as an important factor since Southwest uses a powerful peroxide whitening solution.

Furthermore, with custom trays, if your teeth become discolored again, you can just simply reapply the peroxide solution that they will provide until your teeth are back to their whitest. We recommend that you listen to their dentist as they explain how to use it properly.

If we’re being honest, we did hear some negative feedback about the clinic’s hygienist, although our visits told us otherwise. The good news is that, as of writing, there has been no harsh criticism for their teeth whitening service.

Finally, the clinic has reasonable pricing, which is something that we always favor. And, as per their custom trays for teeth whitening, while it will undoubtedly be expensive at first, it will become less expensive as you will be doing in-home services for the reapplying process.

For your quick teeth whitening fix, we think Smile Labs PDX has the solution for you. Well, apart from that, the place is quite popular for cosmetic dental improvements, so we reckon they can be your go-to teeth whitening facility.

First and foremost, we are intrigued by their one 15-minute session, which their patients can attest to (via reviews), resulting in a shade improvement of about 2 to 4 shades. However, this treatment is only recommended for people who have minor staining on their teeth.

Their most advantageous treatment, on the other hand, is their two 15-minute sessions (done consecutively), which guarantee a much better shade improvement than the others. We believe that this is the best treatment for cases of moderate staining.

Now, all of their teeth whitening treatments are done using their professional-grade LED whitening technique. This received points in our book simply because it outperforms home whitening products and comparable technologies.

However, this kind of process can cause minor sensitivity in the first ten to twelve hours following the procedure, so you better prepare yourself for this one. But other than that, it’s completely safe and does not harm the enamel on people’s teeth.

Smile Labs PDX does also recommend after-treatment add-ons to protect your newly whitened teeth, which can also eliminate eating restrictions, so this definitely wins our favor. This is entirely optional, so you are free to disregard it (but we highly recommend it, though).

What we like about Heavenly YT’s Teeth Whitening LLC is that you can get teeth whitening treatment for as little as $49. Well, it’s actually just like your ordinary in-home procedure (they’re quite a thing in this industry if you’ve noticed)

When we say they’re not like at-home teeth whitening, we’re referring to the fact that they use blue LED lighting in every treatment. It’s very effective because the LED lights speed up the tooth-bleaching process, but it has little to no sensitivity.

As we have said, their cheapest session is $49, which is not bad considering clients can receive up to 17% professional-grade dental whitening gel using the said technology. This also comes with the quickest cycle time of 15 minutes.

For hard-stained coffee and smokers, they sure do have the solution as well. Customers can enjoy their Heavenly Max Basic package, which also includes 17% professional-grade dental gel, but our favorite part is that it comes with a 35% whitening paste accelerator.

Talking about that whitening paste, Heavenly assured us of its safety since we’ve learned it is FDA-approved. But the exciting part is that it is also cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and GMO-free, so the negative aspects are quite minimal, to say the least.

Lastly, we’re impressed with this company’s patient care treatments. We’ve heard that they strictly prohibit their clients from eating two hours after their services have been completed, and they certainly do not permit this service for children under the age of 18.

Rose City Dental Care is one of Portland’s premier dental clinics for a number of reasons. They offer a wide range of dental care services, including cosmetic, oral surgery, and teeth cleaning, and they use the most advanced digital dental equipment available.

Speaking of their cosmetic services, they do offer professional teeth whitening. They, in fact, provide (according to our research) long-lasting results with the peroxide levels in their whitening system, which are between 15 and 43%.

However, we can’t deny that at-home teeth whitening has its own advantages, which is why Rose City Dental Care consistently exceeds our expectations. They offer take-home whitening kits and trays, along with their in-office whitening treatments.

Another great thing about them is the fact that you will be taken care of under the guidance of a dental professional, so that’s totally an edge for them. Plus, they can also make sure that sensitive gums don’t get more irritated since they’re field professionals.

There’s just a tiny bit of a problem we’ve learned of, mostly the minor incompetence of front desk employees. Although this does not have a direct effect on the dental care they provide, it does have an impact on the clients’ experience, which we do not support.

It’s a good thing their teeth whitening, in particular, has received no negative feedback at all, and that’s why they still managed to make it on our list. However, we would appreciate it if they worked on training their employees to provide excellent customer service.

What drove us over to Optima Dental Spa’s direction was their special teeth whitening treatment, which they called Zoom In-Office Whitening. We’ve heard it’s their best option for a chance to get a significant result.

To begin with, this treatment can lighten your smile by up to eight shades in just one visit (a combination of professional strength, revolutionary gel, and an LED light). This alone exceeded our expectations, as a typical in-office whitening treatment takes two or three short office visits.

We find it inconvenient, however, because it requires a follow-up whitening session at home to stabilize the color of your teeth. Nevertheless, if you follow directions well, we don’t see why their Zoom In-office whitening would be difficult.

Now, speaking of that, if you’d really rather have your teeth whitened at home, Optima offers custom-made trays along with (Nite White) bleaching gel. It is, in our opinion, useful if you want to control the level of whiteness on your own and touch it up as needed.

In any case, the fact that their whitening treatments are overseen by experienced and professional staff gives us peace of mind. It’s not entirely advantageous, but it’s reassuring that they do care about their patients.

The only issue we heard was their poor billing management – clients were irritated by receiving bills for services they never got. But speaking of bills, they do have affordable payment options, and members of their Dental Savers Plan can save 20% on professional teeth whitening.

Family Dental Health is a clinic that provides its clients with compassionate yet holistic oral care services such as pediatric dentistry to cosmetic dentistry among others to ensure quality dental care is handled in the best approach manner.

We like that their services are made more accessible to clients since not only do they have an excellent mix of dental care services due to convenient scheduling and flexible financing solutions accommodated for an overall affordable and smooth experience with them.

Past clients that have experienced their services have commended them for their highly informative take on their treatments along with a very accommodating team of professionals that ensured excellent dental care.

Note though that rates of their services aren’t readily available on their website to which interested clients may find it more helpful to reach out to them and have a check-up beforehand.

Nonetheless, with their team of diversely experienced professionals in the field, comfortable and clean clinic interior, and the high standard array of services offered, we highly recommend interested clients to check them out.
