One-Visit Whitening
If you want almost-instant whitening results for an upcoming event or just because, our in-office whitening could be the perfect solution for you. One of the advantages of one-visit whitening is that our team will take care of the whole treatment and make adjustments to fit your needs and level of tooth sensitivity. In as little as one hour, you can leave our office with a smile that’s up to eight shades lighter.
Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
Have over-the-counter whitening kits left you feeling disappointed and dissatisfied? With our whitening trays you can still whiten your teeth in the comfort and convenience of your own home, but get better, longer-lasting results compared to store-bought alternatives. When you visit us, we’ll take molds of your teeth to create custom-fitted whitening trays. We’ll send you home with your personalized trays, professional-strength bleaching gel, and a set of instructions to ensure you get the most out of your whitening treatments.

Will professional teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity after receiving professional whitening. This is usually mild and fades within a short time post-treatment. If you already have sensitive teeth, let our dental team know before your treatment so we can help keep your care as comfortable as possible. Following our whitening instructions and avoiding very hot, cold, or acidic foods immediately after treatment can also help reduce sensitivity.
How can I keep my teeth white in between treatments?
Good daily oral hygiene is one of the best ways to maintain a brighter smile. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with your routine dental cleanings. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other foods or drinks that can stain your teeth may also help. Depending on your treatment plan, occasional use of professional take-home whitening trays can help maintain your results.
Will professional teeth whitening make my teeth look unnatural?
Professional teeth whitening is designed to create a brighter smile while keeping your results looking natural. Poorly done veneers are more likely to make a patient’s smile look unnatural, while teeth whitening rarely has the same effect. Our team can recommend a whitening approach based on your current tooth color, goals, and overall smile. We can also help you choose a shade that complements your features and gives you the level of brightness you prefer.
Can I whiten dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or veneers?
Professional whitening only changes the color of natural tooth enamel. It does not lighten dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, or tooth-colored fillings. If you are considering whitening and have visible restorations, talk with our dental team first. We can help you plan your treatment so your natural teeth and restorations have a more consistent appearance and discuss whether replacing an older restoration may be appropriate.
