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.
In-office whitening uses a higher-concentration gel activated under controlled conditions, delivering visible results in a single sitting. A custom tray kit is commonly provided afterward so you can maintain results without repeat office visits.
Diet matters just as much after whitening as the treatment itself — coffee, red wine, and tobacco start re-staining enamel within days if habits don't change. A touch-up tray a few times a year is usually enough to maintain the brighter shade long-term.
Higher peroxide concentrations than store-bought kits, applied under supervision for safety.
Enamel sensitivity is monitored throughout the session, with treatment paused if needed.
A single appointment is usually enough for a visible shade improvement, unlike gradual take-home-only kits.
A custom-molded tray extends your results well past the initial in-office treatment.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
Delivers the fastest, most visible shade change available through the network.
Fitted trays and prescription-strength gel let you maintain or boost results at home.
Surface stains from coffee, wine, or tobacco are treated differently than deeper intrinsic discoloration.
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.
