Over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpaste can help with surface stains, but professional whitening uses a stronger, dentist-supervised formula that delivers more consistent, longer-lasting results with less sensitivity.
In-Office vs. Take-Home Whitening
In-office whitening delivers dramatic results in a single visit, ideal before a big event. Take-home trays, custom-fitted to your teeth, whiten gradually over one to two weeks at your own pace. We'll help you choose the right fit for your goals and schedule.
What to Expect
Whitening is a comfortable, non-invasive process. Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity afterward, which typically fades within a day or two.
Combining Whitening with Other Treatments
Whitening pairs well with veneers or bonding for patients planning a fuller smile makeover — ask us about combining treatments during your cosmetic consultation.
