In-office whitening
In about an hour, a professional-strength gel is applied to your teeth with your gums protected, and you leave several shades brighter. It is the right choice before a wedding, interview or photographs, or whenever you want the result today.
Custom take-home whitening
We make thin, custom-fitted trays from a scan of your teeth and provide professional gel. You wear the trays for a short period each day for one to two weeks, and the trays are yours to keep for touch-ups whenever you like. Many patients combine an in-office session with take-home trays to maintain the result.
Why professional whitening is different
- Stronger, dentist-supervised formulas that work in days rather than weeks
- Custom trays that whiten evenly and keep the gel off your gums
- An exam first, so decay or exposed roots are treated rather than irritated
- Guidance on the shade you want: natural brightness or a noticeable change
Whitening and other dental work
Crowns, veneers and fillings do not whiten. If you are planning cosmetic work on front teeth, we whiten first and then match the new restorations to your brighter shade. Whitening is also an easy final step after Invisalign.
Keeping your teeth white
Results typically last one to three years depending on your habits. Rinsing after coffee or red wine, not smoking and keeping your regular cleanings extend the result, and your take-home trays make a touch-up simple.
