Even, Consistent Whitening
Unlike at-home kits that may cause patchy results, professional whitening ensures uniform color across all teeth.
Minimized Sensitivity
Teeth Whitening Removes Stubborn Stains
Professional whitening effectively removes surface stains and deep discoloration caused by:
- Coffee, Tea, and Red Wine – Lifts years of stains from dark-colored beverages that penetrate enamel.
- Tobacco and Smoking – Erases deep-set nicotine stains caused by smoking or vaping.
- Aging and Enamel Thinning – Reverses the yellowing that naturally occurs as tooth enamel wears down.
- Medication Stains – Reduces discoloration caused by long-term antibiotic use, such as tetracycline stains.
- General Tooth Discoloration – Brightens dull, stained teeth, restoring a clean, youthful appearance.
Am I a Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening?
You may be a great candidate for teeth whitening if you:
- Have stained, discolored, or yellowed teeth with otherwise healthy enamel.
- Want fast, noticeable results for a wedding, event, or professional appearance.
- Do not have active cavities, gum disease, or exposed roots, which should be treated first.
- Prefer a dentist-supervised alternative to drugstore whitening kits.
If you have deep, intrinsic stains caused by genetics, injury, or medications, other treatments like veneers or bonding may be a better fit. Our team will assess your smile and recommend the best option during your consultation.
What to Expect During Your Whitening Session
Personalized Consultation & Shade Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive exam and stain evaluation, ensuring your teeth are healthy enough for whitening. We also record your current tooth shade so you can see visible improvements after treatment.
Professional Smile Whitening Treatment
A powerful yet gentle whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated using GLO Science LED technology. This accelerates the whitening process while minimizing sensitivity and delivering uniform, even results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does professional teeth whitening take?

Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, our dentist-supervised treatments use enamel-safe whitening agents designed to protect your teeth and gums from irritation or damage.
How long do whitening results last?
With proper care, results can last six months to a year or longer. Avoiding staining foods and maintaining good oral hygiene will help extend your brightness.
Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity, but our advanced whitening formulas minimize discomfort. We also offer desensitizing treatments if needed.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening treatments only work on natural enamel and will not lighten crowns, veneers, or fillings. We can discuss options to maintain a consistent shade.
How much whiter will my teeth get?
Most patients see their teeth lighten by several shades, though results vary based on the type and severity of stains.
Can I eat or drink after teeth whitening?
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid dark-colored foods and drinks such as coffee, red wine, berries, and soda to prevent re-staining.
How often should I whiten my teeth?
Most patients get professional whitening every 12-18 months, with occasional touch-ups as needed.
Are over-the-counter whitening kits effective?
Store-bought whitening strips and gels provide limited results and may cause uneven whitening or increased sensitivity. Professional whitening offers stronger, safer, and longer-lasting results.
