Why People Love Central Dental

Melody O.
I had my first appointment with Dr.Larkin at Central Dental and I am truly blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt welcomed and at ease. The customer service was exceptional everyone was kind, attentive, and professional, but Dr.Larkin himself is a rare gem. His skill, warmth, and charisma shine through in everything he does.

Highly recommend Dr. Larkin! I had a dental emergency when visiting family in Phoenix. Cracked tooth that required a crown. Dr. Larkin came in after hours and rushed my final crown/cap from the lab so I could have it before I left. Cherry on top is that he gave me the X-rays he took so that I could take them back to my dentist in California. Really appreciate all he did for a patient who wasn’t one of his regulars. Shows a lot about his character!

Dr. Larkin is awesome. Super professional, easy to talk to, and somehow makes going to the dentist feel like no big deal (which is saying a lot). The whole team is friendly and welcoming, and the office runs like a well-oiled machine. Dr. Larkin took the time to explain what was going on and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My teeth have literally never looked or felt better. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually looking forward to my next visit.

Brighten Your Smile and Boost Your Confidence

Customized Treatment Plans

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our whitening treatments are tailored to your unique smile, ensuring that you get the best results for your specific needs.

Safer, More Effective Than Over-the-Counter Products

While drugstore products can leave you with inconsistent results, our professional whitening systems are more powerful and provide faster, longer-lasting results. Plus, we supervise your treatment to ensure maximum safety and comfort.

Comfortable, Relaxing Experience

From the moment you walk in, our team will make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. We carefully protect your gums and monitor the whitening process, ensuring your experience is both effective and gentle, with no sensitivity or discomfort.

What Causes Teeth Stains?

Teeth discoloration can be caused by a variety of factors, and understanding the cause helps us choose the best treatment for you. Common causes include:

  • Food and Beverages: Drinks like coffee, tea, and wine, or foods like berries and curry, can leave stains on your teeth over time.
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can significantly darken your teeth.
  • Natural Aging: As we age, the enamel on our teeth naturally thins, revealing the darker dentin underneath.
  • Certain Medications: Some medications can cause staining as a side effect.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Not brushing or flossing regularly can lead to plaque buildup and staining.

Understanding the source of your stains helps us customize the best whitening approach for your needs.

In-Office and Take-Home Whitening Options

We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options to fit your lifestyle:

In-Office Whitening

For fast results, our in-office whitening treatment can brighten your smile by several shades in just one visit—about an hour. We carefully apply a professional-grade whitening gel that’s activated with advanced technology to break down stains, giving you a noticeably brighter smile instantly.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

For those who prefer a more gradual approach, we provide custom take-home whitening kits. These kits are personalized to fit your teeth and come with professional-strength whitening gel, ensuring even, effective whitening that you can use at your convenience.
