Teeth Whitening

Laguna Niguel teeth whitening

experience the confidence of a whiter smile

General Dentistry

When performed by a dentist, teeth whitening, or bleaching, is quite effective. Your dentist can administer a higher concentration of whitening solution than over-the-counter systems, so the results are more significant. We offer several types of teeth whitening procedures at our Laguna Niguel dental office. Your dentist will help you determine the best solution for your unique lifestyle and goals.

How We Can Help

Chairside or in-office teeth whitening is performed in about an hour. Your dentist will use either a highly concentrated bleaching solution or a gel-and-light system to whisk away stains caused by common foods, beverages, tobacco, age, and/or tetracycline medications. If you would prefer to lighten your teeth at home, professional take-home kits can do the job in about two weeks. Both systems yield amazing results of up to 10 shades difference. In some cases, your dentist may suggest a combination of home and in-office bleaching. If teeth whitening does not work for you, consider porcelain veneers or cosmetic bonding to indefinitely eliminate stains.

Going to the dentist after 15 years may seem like a daunting task. However, going to smiles dentistry I was pleasantly surprised from my experience. From the first call Angie at the front desk made the process of making an appointment so effortless. Meeting Dr Nour I felt like she has been my dentist my whole life. She informed me of my dental health in a way that I did not feel embarrassed or ashamed. Joanne, the offices hygienist was also very sweet in how she was patient and informative. I will definitely my coming back for the rest of my dental we are well be recommending them to everyone I know ! Thank you Smiles dentistry #GOBOBCATS

A diamond in the rough!! We all know the dentist is no one’s favorite place to be, but Laguna Niguel Smiles Dentistry makes going to the dentist much more desirable. Everyone from Dr. Nouri, to the front desk and the hygienists are phenomenal. Dr. Nouri is extremely informative, professional and seriously treats you like family. I just did a deep cleaning with Armineh and she was the best dental hygienist I’ve ever experienced in my 29 years of living, making my treatment a piece of cake (and I have serious anxiety). Thank you Laguna Smiles Dentistry!

I have never been to another dentist that makes me feel as comfortable as Dr. Nouri! She is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to answer all of your questions. Her attention to detail is so comforting and she is always a delight to see. The rest of the staff in her office is incredibly sweet and helpful! She has truly created an amazing environment.

Dr. Nouri is incredibly knowledgeable and is very thorough in her care. She takes the time to really explain why she recommends something or why your practice should change. She listens to her patients and understands what is important to them when she advises them. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Nouri.

Dr. Nouri is truly like no other! Unlike other dentists I’ve had she really takes the time to talk with and listen to her patients. She is highly skilled and proficient at what she does along with the rest of her team! Dental hygienists Corey and Joanne, and front desk receptionist Angie are wonderful at what they do and really make going to the dentist a comfortable and pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend!

I have had many dentists during my life but Dr. Nouri is extraordinary! She is direct and honest about your issues, but so warm and caring! Everyone at the office is friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful! The hygienist, Armineh, is fantastic as well.

My experience with Dr. Nouri and her staff was absolutely incredible. They were so sweet and welcoming the minute I came in for my consultation. She and her team were very communicative and thorough, not to mention Dr. Nouri’s attention to detail and perfectionism make her stand out from any other dentist I’ve been to! I’m so happy with my smile and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist in OC!

I am so grateful to Laguna Niguel Smiles staff and doctor. I had an emergent extraction in my smile line and they were actually closed when I had passed their office to inquire about getting work done ASAP. Angie scheduled, matched pricing and they have ensured that I did not have to be more uncomfortable or self conscious! The doctor is fast and has provided solutions to other work that majority of other dentists had not offered or had said wasnt possible. Plus out of kindness, they offered a courtesy xray for my mom who's crown needed reapplying.

Dr. Nouri is a true professional. From the minute I walked in I’ve noticed the cleanliness, top of the line equipment with latest technology, and of course her most friendly staff. Dr. Nouri went above and beyond to make sure that my new crown would match the shape and color! And she did an amazing job.I was so pleased by choosing this dentistry, they deserve a six star review, and i highly recommend it everyone.

So far I have only had one visit to this office but it was after having some issues at other offices. The experience exceeded my expectations. I had a problem tooth and they saved my tooth w a filling when another office wanted to crown the tooth. This was not just a financial savings but also taking this conservative approach won over my trust to continue to seek treatment here. The entire office was professional and kind.

Dr. Nouri and her staff are very knowledgeable and we’re able to assist me with my implant process with care and expertise. I was nervous to have this work done and they put me at ease with their kind and calming manner. The office space is very clean and they are punctual working around my schedule. I’m glad I found their office and would recommend them to anyone.
