Whitening strips. Whitening toothpaste. Purple toothpaste. LED gadgets. There’s no shortage of products promising whiter teeth.
Professional whitening starts somewhere better: figuring out why your teeth are discolored and what will actually respond to treatment.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY OPTIONS
Have discoloration that whitening can’t change? We’ll explain other options without selling you treatment you don’t need.
Smile like you really mean it
Maybe you stopped showing your teeth in photos, or maybe you want to brighten your smile for a special day. Professional whitening is one of the simplest ways to refresh your smile without changing the shape, size, or character of your natural teeth.
While whitening strips work up to a point, they use a much lower concentration of whitening agent than professional treatments, which means slower results and more limitations on which types of staining they can address.
Professional teeth whitening also uses a higher-grade gel with results that are more predictable, more even, and longer-lasting. No new smile required. Just yours, a little brighter.
And because not every stain responds to bleaching and crowns, and veneers, fillings, and bonding won’t whiten along with natural enamel, we’ll make sure whitening actually makes sense before you invest in it.
“All I have to do is be still and let them make my mouth beautiful.”
Trusted with Lakewood smiles for 35+ years
For the Plancich family, dentistry isn’t just the family business. It’s how we’ve cared for our Lakewood neighbors for more than three decades.
Dr. Gregory Plancich began practicing in Tacoma in 1989. Years later, his son, Bryce, followed him into dentistry in the community that raised him. Today, Bryce leads our Lakewood office with the same belief that really good dental care starts with really knowing your patients.
That’s why we take our time. We explain things. We look beyond the tooth that’s bothering you to understand what’s happening throughout your mouth. And we build relationships intended to last a whole lot longer than one appointment.
Serving Lakewood families
Many of our patients have been with us for years, and some for generations. We’d be honored to care for you too!

Our most popular Lakewood teeth whitening questions
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most major dental insurance plans and our team is happy to help you understand your benefits and make the most of them.
We work for our patients, not insurance companies, so the care we recommend is based on what your teeth need, not what your plan happens to cover.
If you’re not sure whether we work with your insurance, please call us at (253) 581-2777. We’d rather talk it through than have you settle for a dentist who isn’t right for you.
How white can my teeth get?
It depends on your natural tooth color and what’s causing the discoloration. We’ll give you realistic expectations based on your smile, rather than promising a particular number of shades.
Will whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
No. Whitening products change the shade of natural tooth enamel but won’t change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding.
Does professional whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity can happen. If you already have sensitive teeth, tell us before treatment so we can take that into account when recommending your whitening plan.
How long will my results last?
Whitening isn’t permanent. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and other staining habits can gradually darken teeth again. Good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups can help maintain your results.
