Not all discoloration responds the same way to whitening, which is why a proper consult starts by identifying whether the staining is surface-level or set deeper in the tooth. Surface staining from food and drink typically responds fastest to professional-strength whitening treatments. Intrinsic staining, like the kind caused by certain medications or old trauma to a tooth, may need veneers or bonding instead of whitening alone.
Professional treatments use stronger whitening agents than anything sold over the counter, applied under supervision to protect your gums. Take-home trays with custom-fitted guards are often paired with the in-office visit for touch-ups down the road.
Diet matters just as much after whitening as the treatment itself — coffee, red wine, and tobacco start re-staining enamel within days if habits don't change. Occasional touch-ups, rather than repeating a full treatment, tend to be all that's needed to hold onto the results.
Higher peroxide concentrations than store-bought kits, applied under supervision for safety.
Enamel sensitivity is monitored throughout the session, with treatment paused if needed.
A single appointment is usually enough for a visible shade improvement, unlike gradual take-home-only kits.
Fitted trays let you touch up results at home between office visits.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
A single session using clinical-strength gel activated under controlled light or heat.
Ideal for gradual whitening or ongoing touch-ups after an initial in-office visit.
Surface stains from coffee, wine, or tobacco are treated differently than deeper intrinsic discoloration.
Desensitizing gel and adjusted treatment timing help patients prone to tooth sensitivity.
An exam checks for cavities or exposed roots that whitening gel could otherwise irritate.
Deeper stains on individual teeth are sometimes masked with bonding rather than repeated whitening cycles.
