Teeth Whitening
You deserve a bright, white smile with our teeth whitening treatments, helping you feel confident in your tooth color.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Many people struggle with dulled or yellowed teeth that diminish their smiles. Discolored teeth can be linked to inadequate oral hygiene, aging, and weakened tooth structure resulting from various factors.
Professional teeth whitening treatments can help you achieve a brighter smile, sometimes in just one session. The treatment involves applying a hydrogen peroxide gel to the teeth and then activating the gel to release oxygen ions. These oxygen ions penetrate the teeth, breaking down interior and exterior stains to create a brighter appearance. This bleaching process is highly effective and safe, with minimal discomfort.

How is professional teeth whitening performed?
Our office offers two types of professional teeth whitening services: in-office and custom-made trays.
In-office: We start by protecting sensitive areas inside the mouth, such as the lips and gums, to avoid exposure to the peroxide. Then, we activate a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the teeth. You will rest comfortably for a short time until the gel takes effect. Afterward, we remove the coverings and rinse away the gel.
Custom-made trays: We will take a custom mold of your teeth to create clear trays that you can take home, along with a whitening gel. These trays minimize the risk of the whitening gel affecting your gums or mouth, allowing you to whiten your teeth from the comfort of your home. To use them, place the whitening gel inside the trays and put the trays in your mouth.

How long does teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening can have effects that last up to two to three years or as little as six months. It’s different for each person.
Things that will quickly stain your teeth and make your white teeth last only a short time are:
– Smoking
– Dark Liquids, like red wine, coffee, and tea
– Staining foods like beetroot and berriesIf you brush your teeth twice a day and are careful with foods that stain them, you don’t need to cut them out completely, and your teeth will stay white for as long as possible. But keep in mind that stains will happen no matter what.
