Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Store-Bought Kits?
Over-the-counter whitening products may promise quick results, but they often fall short. Many contain harsh ingredients that can irritate gums or damage enamel. Our in-office whitening treatments use clinically tested formulas that are both powerful and safe.
Benefits of Professional Whitening:
- Faster, more dramatic results
- Customized treatment plans
- Reduced risk of sensitivity
- Supervised by dental professionals
- Longer-lasting brightness
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Teeth naturally darken over time, but certain habits and foods can accelerate staining.
Common Causes of Stains:
- Coffee and tea
- Red wine
- Tobacco use
- Soda and sugary drinks
- Certain medications
- Aging and enamel thinning
Even with good oral hygiene, these factors can leave your teeth looking dull or yellow. Whitening helps reverse these effects and restore a clean, radiant smile.
Our Whitening Options
We offer two main whitening solutions to fit your lifestyle and preferences:
In-Office Whitening:
This treatment delivers immediate results in about an hour. We apply a high-concentration whitening gel and activate it with a special light to lift deep stains.
Take-Home Whitening Kits:
For patients who prefer to whiten gradually, we provide custom trays and professional-grade gel for use at home. You’ll see results in just a few days, with full brightness in about two weeks.
