Coffee, tea, red wine and time all leave their mark. Professional whitening lifts years of stains safely, with results store-bought strips rarely match.
We start by making sure your teeth and gums are healthy, then recommend the whitening option that fits your smile and your schedule.
Done under a dentist's care, whitening is gentle on your enamel, and we'll keep you comfortable from start to finish.
Whitening uses a peroxide gel to break down stains inside the enamel. Here's what to expect:
Most people see a noticeably brighter smile, often two shades or more. Results vary with the type of stain and how your teeth respond.

Whitening works best on yellow or brown stains from coffee, tea, wine and tobacco. Gray stains from medication or injury respond less, and we'll tell you honestly what to expect.

Whitening under a dentist's care protects your teeth and gums.
We record your starting shade so you can track how much brighter you get.

We’ll never, ever recommend care that you don’t need or want.
Whitening can last a long time with good habits, though everyday foods and drinks slowly stain teeth again.

Results often last from several months to a few years, depending on your habits. Coffee, tea, wine and tobacco shorten it, and touch-ups help keep it going.
Most people feel little or nothing. Some have mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward, which usually fades on its own.
Not when it's done under a dentist's care. Professional whitening is considered safe for enamel, and we check your teeth before we start.
Professional gel is stronger and goes on with your gums protected, so results are usually faster, more even and more comfortable.
No. Whitening only lightens natural enamel. If you have dental work that shows when you smile, we'll help you plan so everything matches.
Usually not, since whitening is cosmetic. Ask us about payment options and we'll go over the cost before you start.
Most dentists recommend waiting if you're pregnant or nursing, and whitening isn't advised for young children. Teeth with cavities or gum problems should be treated first.
