Request teeth whitening as an aesthetic treatment. Discuss options with the dentist before any at-home kits.
'Vorrei' (I would like) is the conditional of 'volere' — polite and common for requests. 'Sbiancare' means to whiten or bleach (from 'bianco' = white). The dental procedure is called 'sbiancamento dentale' or 'bleaching'. Important to do it at the studio or under professional supervision.

Professional teeth whitening in Italy is regulated — over-the-counter products with more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide can only be sold by dentists. The EU directive limits H2O2 concentration in consumer products. Italian dentists offer in-office ('studio') whitening using higher concentrations under controlled conditions. Results last 1-2 years with proper maintenance.
