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. Occasional touch-ups, rather than repeating a full treatment, tend to be all that's needed to hold onto the results.
Higher peroxide concentrations than store-bought kits, applied under supervision for safety.
A protective barrier shields your gums from the whitening gel during the entire treatment.
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.
