Cosmetic

Several shades brighter—safely, and without the sensitivity.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

  • Fast results

    In-office whitening can brighten teeth several shades in about an hour.

  • Custom trays

    Take-home trays are made from scans of your teeth for even contact and less gel on your gums.

  • Low sensitivity

    Desensitizing protocols and professional-grade gels keep you comfortable.

  • Easy touch-ups

    Keep your trays and refresh your results in a few nights whenever you need.

In-office vs. take-home

In-office whitening is ideal before an event or when you want results today. Take-home trays work gradually over one to two weeks and are great for sensitive teeth. Many patients combine both: a jump-start in the office and trays for maintenance.

    Professional gel is applied in timed sessions or dispensed with custom trays for home use.

  4. 4

    Maintain

    We show you how to keep results bright and when to touch up.

FAQ

Professional Teeth Whitening questions, answered

Don't see your question? Ask our AI Smile Guide or call our team—we're happy to help.

Is professional whitening safe for enamel?

Yes. When supervised by a dentist, whitening gels do not damage enamel. We check your teeth first to be sure you are a good candidate.

How long do whitening results last?

Typically one to three years depending on diet and habits. Occasional touch-ups keep results bright.

Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?

No. Whitening only affects natural enamel, so we plan the shade of any new restorations after whitening.

Does whitening cause sensitivity?

Some people feel mild, temporary sensitivity. We use desensitizing protocols to minimize it.
