Professional Teeth Whitening
Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, aging, and everyday foods can gradually darken natural tooth enamel. Professional whitening is designed to lighten natural teeth in a controlled way after we make sure the teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment.
Professional Whitening
Dentist-supervised whitening allows us to choose an appropriate approach, protect oral tissues, monitor sensitivity, and address questions about existing dental work before you begin.
At-Home Options
Custom trays can allow gradual whitening at home using a prescribed gel and schedule. The best option depends on the current shade, type of staining, sensitivity, and how quickly you want to see a change.

What About Sensitivity?
Temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation can occur with whitening. We can adjust the product, amount, frequency, or schedule when needed and address untreated cavities or recession before treatment.
Maintaining the Result
Whitening is not permanent. Good oral hygiene, routine cleanings, limiting frequent exposure to staining habits, and occasional touch-ups can help maintain the shade you like.
Whiten Before Final Cosmetic Restorations
If you are also considering veneers, bonding, crowns, or other tooth-colored restorations, whitening is often planned first so the final restorations can be matched to the shade you want.
Choose the Whitening Approach That Fits You
We can evaluate the type of discoloration, your existing dental work, and your sensitivity history before recommending a whitening option.
