Teeth whitening is a process that can be completed in our dental office or with a custom take-home kit provided by our dentist. During treatment, we remove the stains from your teeth so your smile looks brighter and more natural. The process also lifts natural discoloration, giving you whiter teeth than you had previously. The two options we offer are in-office same-day whitening and take-home custom trays, and both work extremely well. Our team discusses the pros and cons of each so you can choose based on your goals and your timeframe.

Yes, plan to have your dental cleaning just before a whitening treatment. That way the gel targets the deep stains rather than the surface buildup.
When used as directed, whitening products are extremely safe and gentle, though temporary sensitivity can happen. A sensitivity toothpaste or fluoride rinse helps, and take-home users can whiten every other day instead.
Good candidates want whiter teeth and have healthy teeth and gums with no active cavities or gum infections. Whitening is ideal for adults of all ages and older teens, though we recommend avoiding it while nursing.
The cost varies depending on whether you choose in-office treatment or a take-home kit. We offer affordable whitening options designed to fit a range of budgets.
Whitening is considered cosmetic, so most dental insurance plans do not cover it. Our team can review payment options with you before you begin treatment.
