What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional whitening uses dentist-supervised whitening gel to break up stains from coffee, tea, wine, and aging. It’s stronger and more controlled than store-bought products, delivering faster, more predictable results.

Which whitening option is right for you?

• In-office whitening: One visit for fast results. Great before events or photos.
• Custom take-home trays: Trays made from impressions or scans, worn with gel at home for 1–2 weeks. Easy to maintain and touch up.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Surface stains from foods, drinks, and aging respond best to whitening. Internal discoloration, certain medications, or fluorosis may need alternatives like veneers or bonding. We’ll evaluate your teeth and gums to recommend the right approach.

How Teeth Whitening Works

What to expect during and after treatment

We protect your gums and apply professional whitening gel. For in-office care, gel is applied in cycles and monitored for comfort and shade change. With take-home trays, you’ll place gel in your custom trays and wear them as instructed. Some mild, temporary sensitivity is common and usually fades within 24–48 hours.

Aftercare and How Long Results Last

Tips to maintain your brighter smile

Avoid dark foods and drinks for 24–48 hours after whitening. Long-term, brush and floss daily, keep routine cleanings, and use a straw for coffee or tea. Touch-up gel with your trays can help maintain results over time.

Cost and Payment Options

What affects price and what’s included

Cost depends on the option chosen, stain level, and whether touch-up gel or trays are included. We’ll review your goals, check any available benefits, and outline payment options before treatment.

Will my teeth be sensitive?
