In-office or take-home whitening
In-office whitening
Our team applies a professional whitening gel to your teeth during a single visit of about 60 to 90 minutes, and you see the results right away. It is the fastest way to a whiter smile.
Take-home tray whitening
We make custom trays that fit your teeth exactly, and you wear them at home with a professional whitening gel available only through your dentist. Most people finish in 10 to 14 days and start noticing results in 3 to 5 days. Because the trays fit so well, the gel reaches all your teeth evenly.
Professional vs. over-the-counter whitening
Strips, paint-on gels and whitening toothpastes cost less, but they are also less effective. Whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes only remove surface stains; they do not change the natural shade of your teeth. Professional whitening lightens the color of the teeth themselves, with your dentist making sure it is safe for you.
Is whitening right for you?
Almost anyone can benefit from whitening, but some people are more prone to sensitivity, including those with gum recession, younger patients, and people with enamel worn down by grinding or acid erosion. That is why we check your teeth and gums first.
Whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers or tooth-colored fillings. If you have any on your front teeth, we will plan your whitening so everything matches.
Making your results last
Whitening is not permanent. Results usually last from six months to two years, depending on your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco stain teeth fastest. Many patients do a quick touch-up with their take-home trays for a day or two, once or twice a year, and regular cleanings help keep surface stains away.

Frequently asked questions
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Whitening is safe when it is done under professional supervision, and many studies support it. Problems usually come from overusing whitening products for months or years without guidance.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people feel temporary sensitivity, especially with gum recession or worn enamel. We check for these before we start and can adjust your treatment.
How long do whitening results last?
Usually six months to two years. Avoiding staining foods and drinks and doing occasional touch-ups helps your results last longer.
Do whitening toothpastes work?
They remove surface stains but cannot change the underlying color of your teeth. For a noticeably whiter shade, professional whitening is more effective.
Does insurance cover teeth whitening?
Most plans consider whitening cosmetic and do not cover it. Our affordable dental plan can help reduce the cost of cosmetic treatments.
