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.
In-office whitening uses a higher-concentration gel activated under controlled conditions, delivering visible results in a single sitting. A custom tray kit is commonly provided afterward so you can maintain results without repeat office visits.
Results fade faster for patients who go right back to the same staining habits, which is why most providers give you a short list of things to avoid for the first 48 hours. A touch-up tray a few times a year is usually enough to maintain the brighter shade long-term.
Clinical-grade whitening agents lift stains faster than anything available without a prescription.
A protective barrier shields your gums from the whitening gel during the entire treatment.
A single appointment is usually enough for a visible shade improvement, unlike gradual take-home-only kits.
A custom-molded tray extends your results well past the initial in-office treatment.
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.
Fitted trays and prescription-strength gel let you maintain or boost results at home.
