At-Home Whitening Options

At-home methods can help reduce surface stains, but they may require consistent, long-term use and generally offer more subtle results.

Whitening Toothpastes & Rinses

  • Use gentle abrasives and low-strength peroxide to lighten surface stains.
  • Best for maintaining results after a professional treatment.
  • Requires daily use for several weeks to notice changes.

Whitening Strips

  • Thin plastic strips coated with peroxide gel, applied directly to teeth.
  • Typically used twice daily for 30 minutes.
  • Results can take 1–2 weeks and vary by brand and use.

Over-the-Counter Gel Trays

  • One-size-fits-most trays filled with peroxide gel.
  • May not fit snugly, increasing the risk of gum irritation.
  • Less effective than custom trays due to inconsistent contact with teeth.

Professional In-Office Whitening TREATMENT

For faster, more noticeable results, in-office whitening treatments offer several key advantages:

  • Stronger Whitening Agents – Higher peroxide concentration than OTC products.
  • Immediate Results – Brighten your smile in just one 30–90 minute session.
  • Safe & Monitored – Your gums and soft tissues are protected during the procedure.
  • Lasting Impact – Longer-lasting results with fewer treatments needed.

Light-Activated Whitening

Some office treatments incorporate LED or UV light to activate the gel and speed up results. While the light itself doesn’t whiten, it enhances the whitening power of the peroxide.

Custom Whitening Trays

Prefer whitening at home but want better results than drugstore products? We offer custom-fit trays and professional-grade gel for a safe, effective way to whiten your teeth from the comfort of home.

  • Tailored Fit – Reduces gum irritation and ensures even gel distribution.
  • Gradual Whitening – Typically worn for 1–2 hours a day over 1–2 weeks.
  • Ideal for Maintenance – Great for touch-ups after in-office whitening.

When Whitening Isn’t Enough

Whitening treatments can’t correct all types of discoloration. If your teeth are discolored due to trauma, medications, or existing restorations (like crowns, veneers, or bonding), whitening may not be effective. In those cases, cosmetic options like porcelain veneers may be better suited to help you achieve your smile goals.
