With modern whitening treatments and a gentle, personalized approach, getting a brighter smile has never been easier — or more comfortable.
Why Do Teeth Stain?
Even with great oral hygiene, teeth naturally darken over time. Everyday habits, foods, and even genetics influence color changes. Common causes of staining include:
- Coffee, tea, and wine
- Soda and acidic drinks
- Dark-colored foods
- Tobacco use
- Natural aging
- Certain medications
- Past dental trauma
Professional whitening safely removes deep stains that over-the-counter products simply can’t reach.
Professional Whitening Options
Every smile is different — and so are your whitening needs. That’s why we offer two effective, dentist-supervised options:
In-Office Whitening
Our fastest and most powerful whitening solution. In a single visit, we can dramatically brighten your smile using high-strength, safe whitening gel that delivers immediate results. Perfect for:
- Weddings
- Photoshoots
- Job interviews
- Special events
- Anyone wanting same-day transformation
You’ll leave the office with a noticeably whiter, refreshed smile.
Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
Ideal for patients who prefer to whiten gradually or on their own schedule. We create custom-fit trays using digital impressions for even, comfortable gel application. You’ll use professional-strength whitening gel at home for several days to achieve long-lasting brightness.
Take-home trays are great for long-term maintenance after in-office whitening as well.
Take-Home Whitening Strips
Whitening strips are a convenient and more cost-effective way to get started with whitening. They come preloaded with whitening gel and are easy to use at home. While strips can noticeably improve tooth color, they typically do not provide the same level of customization or results as custom trays.
Benefits of Professional Whitening
Professional whitening offers advantages you won’t get from store-bought strips or toothpaste:
- Fast, dramatic results
- Safe for enamel
- Even, consistent whitening
- Customizable level of brightness
- Less sensitivity with dentist-supervised care
- Longer-lasting results
- Predictable outcomes backed by high-quality materials
You’ll enjoy a noticeably brighter smile — without guesswork or irritation.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Professional whitening may be a great option if you:
- Want to brighten dull, yellow, or stained teeth
- Have an upcoming event
- Want safe, predictable results
- Prefer guidance from a dentist rather than DIY products
Whitening works best on natural enamel and may not lighten crowns, veneers, or fillings — but we’ll go over your options to make sure your entire smile looks balanced and beautiful.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is professional whitening safe?
Yes. Our whitening systems are designed to protect your enamel while effectively lifting stains. Dentist supervision ensures safe, controlled results.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some temporary sensitivity is possible, but it’s usually mild and short-lived. We offer desensitizing treatments and personalized instructions to keep you comfortable.
How long do whitening results last?
Results can last months to years depending on your habits. Regular cleanings, good oral hygiene, and at-home touch-ups help maintain brightness.
Can whitening remove all stains?
Most surface and deep stains respond very well. Internal or tetracycline stains may need additional cosmetic options like veneers for full correction.
Should I whiten before other cosmetic treatments?
Yes — whitening first ensures new restorations like veneers or crowns match your brightened shade perfectly.
