Why Opt for Professional Teeth Whitening?
We’re all unique—factors like age, lifestyle, diet, and medications impact our teeth and gums differently. A whitening product that works for one person may not work for you. Even worse, some store-bought products can harm your gums.
- Customized to Your Needs: When you visit us for teeth whitening, we discuss your concerns about your teeth’s appearance, your goals for the procedure, and your expectations. After a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, we recommend the best whitening procedure tailored to your desired results and oral health.
- Performed by Experts: Our dentists are specially trained in teeth whitening products and techniques. They know precisely how to perform the procedure and adhere to all safety protocols to ensure your protection.
- Dramatic Improvement: We use a prescription-strength bleaching solution that contains the most powerful whitening agents available to whiten your teeth.

- Even Whitening: Over-the-counter whitening products often result in uneven whitening, especially with strips that don’t cover the entire tooth. Our dentists are skilled in ensuring all contours and angles of your teeth are evenly whitened.
- Increased Comfort: Our whitening process uses a laser to reduce the risk of sensitivity and gum irritation.

When to Whiten?
As our dentists will advise, teeth whitening does not alter the appearance of crowns, bridges, veneers, and fillings. Therefore, we recommend whitening first if you will need crowns, fillings, or veneers soon. Our dentists can then match the color of future dental work to your whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can remove stains and discoloration from both the surface and the deeper layers of your teeth.

Why Do Teeth Become Stained or Discolored?
Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by a layer of enamel made primarily of minerals. Tooth enamel is extremely strong, being the hardest substance in your body.
- Dark-colored beverages like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices
- Dark-colored sauces such as tomato and soy sauce
- Sugary beverages and foods
- Brightly colored fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates
- Tobacco products
- Poor nutrition and oral hygiene will also discolor your teeth.
However, tooth enamel is also porous, containing tiny holes that absorb substances that stain your teeth, such as:
Deep Stains: Tooth discoloration can also occur in the inner portion of a tooth, the layer just below the enamel. This layer is naturally yellow or grey. As a person ages, the enamel wears away, revealing the underlying color and making teeth appear dull or dingy. Medications, illness, and injury can also discolor the inner portion of your teeth.
Top Teeth Whitening Varieties
Teeth whitening is an effective method to lighten the natural color of your teeth without resorting to more invasive procedures like veneers. Whether you choose to whiten your teeth at our office or follow the instructions in your take-home kit, you will see results without experiencing lasting sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
For most patients, the most effective way to whiten teeth is through a professional in-office treatment. During this procedure, a bleaching solution is applied to the teeth using specially designed trays. Once the trays are in place, a laser is used to gently heat the solution, activating oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel to remove stains. Laser teeth whitening provides immediate results and may also help reduce the risks of sensitivity and gum irritation.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits include application trays that are custom-molded to fit the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, ensuring consistent and complete whitening of the enamel. Unlike store-bought kits, our trays are made from models of your actual teeth, reducing the risk of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. These take-home kits gradually lighten enamel over three to four weeks.
