Teeth Whitening
A safe, dentist-supervised way to lift years of stain.
Overview
Professional whitening uses a higher-strength gel to break apart the stain that coffee, tea, wine, and time leave in your enamel. Because it's done under our care, we protect your gums, manage sensitivity, and reach a brighter, more even result than a drugstore kit can. You can do it in-office for a fast lift, or with custom take-home trays on your own schedule.
Who it's for
- Anyone bothered by yellowing or staining from coffee, tea, red wine, or years of wear.
- Anyone with a milestone coming up — a wedding, a reunion, a new job.
- People let down by store-bought strips who want a supervised result.
- Patients with sensitive teeth who need a gentler, managed approach.
Whitening works best on healthy teeth, so we'll check for decay and gum issues first. It doesn't change the color of fillings, crowns, or veneers — if those are in your smile zone, we'll plan around them.
How it works
- We start with a healthy baseline. A quick exam and cleaning make sure your teeth and gums are ready.
- We match your starting shade. We record your current color so you can see how far you've come.
- We protect your gums. We shield the soft tissue so only your enamel is treated.
- We whiten. In-office, we apply the gel in short cycles for an immediate lift; for take-home, we fit you with custom trays and a routine.
- We help it last. You go home with sensitivity tips and a simple maintenance plan.
The whole-health connection
Whitening is cosmetic, and confidence is part of health. We won't whiten over active decay or inflamed gums, so it becomes a natural moment to get the whole mouth well.
Frequently asked
Will it make my teeth sensitive?
Some people feel mild sensitivity that fades within a day or two. Because we supervise the process, we can adjust strength and timing, and provide desensitizing products, to keep you comfortable.
How long do the results last?
Several months to a couple of years, depending on your habits — coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco speed up restaining. Custom take-home trays make a quick touch-up easy whenever you'd like.
What does it cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Whitening is a cosmetic treatment, so it's generally not covered by dental insurance. We keep our pricing straightforward and offer Cherry and Care Credit financing if you'd like to spread it out. We'll give you a clear quote before we begin — see our payment & financing details.
