Dr. Jennifer Ebner at Innovative Dentistry Biltmore in Phoenix, AZ offers Picasso Plus laser teeth whitening, a professional in-office bleaching treatment that brightens teeth by multiple shades in approximately one hour. The treatment uses professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel activated by the Picasso Plus laser for faster, more dramatic results than at-home whitening strips or trays.

Teeth whitening at Innovative Dentistry Biltmore is available as a standalone service and as part of comprehensive smile makeover treatment plans.
Is this the right moment to whiten your teeth?
Professional whitening is the right choice for patients at a wide range of starting points, from maintenance to major transformation. Here's who it works best for:
🎉 You have a big event coming up
Wedding, reunion, job interview, graduation, professional whitening can transform your smile in a single appointment before the moment that matters.
☕ Coffee, wine & tea have taken their toll
Years of daily staining from coffee, red wine, black tea, and dark foods can be significantly reversed with one laser treatment.
🎨 You want to freshen up your smile
Even without major staining, whitening brightens your overall appearance and is often the simplest, fastest cosmetic upgrade available.
💍 You're getting veneers or a smile makeover
Whitening first sets the color baseline for cosmetic work. Dr. Ebner uses laser whitening as the first step in many smile makeover plans.
🔄 You want to maintain past whitening
Regular touch-up whitening every 6–12 months keeps your results fresh. Our take-home trays make maintenance easy between office visits.
🦷 Drugstore strips aren't cutting it
Over-the-counter strips use lower-concentration gel and produce minimal results. Professional laser whitening uses significantly stronger agents for real, visible change.
Two whitening options, and why most patients start in-office
Dr. Ebner's recommendation: start with in-office laser whitening to achieve your brightest result immediately, then use custom take-home trays to maintain it over time. The combination produces the best long-term outcome.

Picasso Plus Laser Whitening
Professional-strength hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth while your gums are protected. The Picasso Plus laser activates the gel, accelerating the whitening process significantly beyond what at-home products can achieve. Most patients see multiple shades of improvement in a single ~60-minute appointment. Custom take-home trays are provided to maintain and extend your results.

Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
Custom-fitted bleaching trays made from impressions of your teeth hold professional-strength whitening gel against your enamel far more effectively than boil-and-bite trays from the drugstore. Worn for 30–60 minutes daily over 1–2 weeks, they deliver gradual whitening, and are the ideal way to maintain your in-office results. Whitening gel refills are available without another full appointment.

Worried about sensitivity? Here's what Dr. Ebner does differently.
Sensitivity after whitening is real, but it's manageable, and Dr. Ebner has specific protocols to minimize it for every patient. Because she is a biological dentist, enamel protection and patient comfort are priorities throughout the whitening process, not afterthoughts.
Dr. Ebner's sensitivity protocol includes:
Pre-treatment assessment of enamel health and existing sensitivity
Careful gum barrier application before gel contact
Adjusted gel exposure time for sensitive patients
Take-home booster trays used every other day (not daily) to minimize sensitivity
Sensitive toothpaste recommendation (Sensodyne) for the first week post-treatment
Guidance on temperature and food avoidance during the rehydration period.
Most patients experience only mild, short-term sensitivity that resolves within a few days. Patients with significant enamel wear or existing sensitivity will have their whitening plan adjusted accordingly. If whitening is not appropriate for your enamel condition, Dr. Ebner will tell you honestly, and suggest alternatives like veneers that achieve color change without peroxide.
Whitening done the biological way, enamel-first, always
What makes Dr. Ebner's whitening approach different: As a biological dentist, Dr. Ebner evaluates the health of your enamel, gum tissue, and existing restorations before whitening begins. She never whitens over decay, compromised enamel, or active gum disease, because doing so would harm the very structures you want to brighten. Whitening is always preceded by a health assessment. This is the standard of care we hold ourselves to, even for elective cosmetic procedures.
It's also worth knowing: dental crowns, veneers, and fillings cannot be whitened by bleaching gel. If you have visible restorations, Dr. Ebner will discuss how to coordinate whitening with replacement or adjustment of those restorations so your full smile matches beautifully.

6 tips for maintaining your white smile after laser whitening
Professional whitening is not permanent, but with the right aftercare it can last 1–3 years between touch-ups. Here's exactly what to do:
💊 Take an anti-inflammatory if sensitive
Ibuprofen every 6 hours manages post-treatment sensitivity. Use booster trays every other day (not daily) to minimize discomfort. Sensodyne toothpaste helps sensitivity resolve faster.
🍋 Skip acidic foods and drinks
Acids weaken enamel and open pores to staining. Avoid carbonated soda, pickles, lemons, vinegar, and tart candy for the first week after whitening.
🔄 Plan for touch-ups every 6–12 months
Whitening results gradually fade as staining accumulates. Your custom take-home trays make touch-ups easy, a few nights of gel maintenance will refresh your results without another in-office visit.
🌡️ Avoid hot and cold for the first week
Whitening temporarily opens enamel pores, causing temperature sensitivity. Avoid ice cream, hot drinks, and cold water for a few days. Room temperature food and drinks are your friend.
☕ If it stains white carpet, avoid it
Coffee, red wine, black tea, blueberries, soy sauce, red sauces, and cigarettes should be avoided for the first week, when your teeth are most susceptible to absorbing stain.
⚠️ Know what whitening can't change
Crowns, veneers, and fillings cannot be bleached. The whitening effect varies by starting shade and enamel condition. Tetracycline or fluorosis staining may not respond fully. Dr. Ebner will discuss realistic expectations at your consultation.
Teeth whitening FAQs, answered by Dr. Ebner
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
In-office laser whitening results typically last 1–3 years, depending on your diet, habits, and maintenance routine. Patients who use their custom take-home trays for periodic touch-ups maintain brighter results significantly longer. Coffee and wine drinkers will experience faster fading and may benefit from more frequent touch-ups.
How white will my teeth actually get?
Results vary by patient based on the original shade of your teeth, the type of staining present, and your enamel condition. Most patients see a noticeable, multi-shade improvement in a single session. Dr. Ebner uses a shade guide before and after treatment so you can see the measurable difference. Patients with tetracycline staining or intrinsic discoloration may see less dramatic results, she'll discuss realistic expectations at your consultation.
Is the Picasso Plus laser the same as Zoom whitening?
Both are professional in-office whitening systems that use a light or laser to activate professional-strength whitening gel. The Picasso Plus uses laser technology specifically, which many patients find produces excellent results with a comfortable treatment experience. Dr. Ebner has chosen the Picasso Plus system based on clinical performance and patient comfort outcomes in her practice.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening gel only affects natural tooth enamel, it cannot lighten dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or composite fillings. If you have visible restorations, Dr. Ebner will evaluate whether whitening first (then updating restorations to match) or another approach makes more sense for your specific situation.
Is teeth whitening safe for my enamel?
Professional whitening, when performed correctly, is safe for enamel. Dr. Ebner pre-screens for enamel condition and never whitens over active decay, gum disease, or significantly compromised enamel. The temporary sensitivity some patients experience reflects temporary pore opening in the enamel, this resolves completely as teeth rehydrate. Over-the-counter products used too frequently without supervision carry more enamel risk than professionally monitored treatment.
Can I whiten my teeth if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Whitening is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding as a precautionary measure, the safety of peroxide whitening agents during these periods hasn't been fully studied. Dr. Ebner recommends waiting until after pregnancy and nursing to pursue elective whitening treatments.
