Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening that lifts years of stains — safely, and far beyond what store-bought kits achieve.

What it is

Brighter, safely

Professional whitening uses higher-strength, dentist-supervised gels to break down stains from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco and age. We offer in-office whitening for fast results and custom take-home trays for gradual, controlled brightening.

Because it’s supervised, we protect your gums and manage sensitivity — something drugstore kits can’t do.

Two ways to whiten

Choose what fits you

In-office whitening

A single visit for a noticeable lift — ideal before an event.

Custom take-home trays

Trays made to fit your teeth precisely, for gradual whitening on your schedule and easy touch-ups.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is professional whitening safe?+

Yes — dentist-supervised whitening is safe for enamel, and we manage any sensitivity.

How long do results last?+

Typically several months to a couple of years, depending on your habits. Take-home trays make touch-ups easy.

Why not a drugstore kit?+

Professional gels are stronger and the trays are custom-fit, so results are faster, more even and better protected.

Will it make my teeth sensitive?+

Some temporary sensitivity is normal; supervised gels and custom trays minimize it, and we can recommend products that help.

Does whitening work on crowns or veneers?+

Whitening only lightens natural teeth — crowns, veneers and fillings don’t change color, so we plan any shade matching around existing dental work.
