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. Extrinsic stains — from coffee, wine, or tobacco — usually lift well with peroxide-based whitening gel. 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.
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.
Enamel sensitivity is monitored throughout the session, with treatment paused if needed.
Most patients see noticeable brightening after one in-office session, often several shades lighter.
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.
Ideal for gradual whitening or ongoing touch-ups after an initial in-office visit.
Your provider identifies the stain type first so the right whitening approach is chosen.
Patients with sensitive teeth can still whiten safely with a modified protocol.
A cleaning removes surface plaque first so whitening gel works evenly across the tooth surface.
For stains whitening can't fully lift, bonding covers the remaining discoloration selectively.
