Whitening is the simplest way to refresh your smile. No drilling, no shaping, no permanent change to your teeth. Just brighter, in days.

This patient wanted a brighter, more radiant smile. Our professional in-office whitening lifted years of surface stains in just one visit.
We offer professional whitening that's much stronger and more effective than anything you can buy at the store. You can do it at the office in one visit, or at home with custom trays. Both work great. The right one depends on your schedule and preference.
You sit in the chair for about an hour. We apply a professional-strength whitening gel and let it do the work. You leave that same day with a noticeably brighter smile.
Best for: A wedding next weekend, a special event, anyone who'd rather have it done in one shot.
We take a quick impression of your teeth and make custom trays that fit your mouth perfectly. You wear them at home with professional whitening gel for a stretch each day, usually a couple of weeks. You can do it on your own schedule.
Best for: People who want flexibility, or who'd like to keep the trays for touch-ups later.
Both methods use higher-strength whitening than anything available over the counter. That's why they work so much better than drugstore strips and gels.
Whitening works best on healthy teeth with surface stains from things like:
Whitening doesn't change the color of existing crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have any of those in your front teeth, we'll talk through what to expect so the result blends well.
Some types of staining (medication staining from childhood, for example) don't respond well to whitening. We'll look at your teeth honestly and tell you if whitening will give you the result you're after, or if veneers or bonding would be a better fit.
Whitening is a cosmetic treatment, so dental insurance generally does not cover it. The good news: whitening is one of the more affordable cosmetic upgrades, and we have payment options.
No. Professional whitening is safe when done properly. We check your teeth and gums first to make sure they're healthy, and the gels we use are designed to be gentle on enamel.
Some people get short-lived sensitivity to cold during or right after whitening. It usually fades within a day or two. We can adjust the strength or pace of treatment if you're prone to sensitivity.
Most people stay brighter for 6 to 12 months. Things that stain your teeth (coffee, tea, wine, dark sauces) will fade the result faster. Take-home trays make touch-ups easy.
Most patients see several shades of improvement. The exact result depends on what your teeth look like now and the type of staining. We'll set realistic expectations before we start.
You can. They'll work a little. The difference is strength: our professional gels are several times more potent, and the custom trays apply the gel evenly across your teeth. Result: dramatically better whitening in a fraction of the time.
We typically wait. Whitening hasn't been shown to be harmful, but as a precaution we usually recommend holding off until after pregnancy and nursing.
Much stronger and more effective than anything at the drugstore. Real results, in less time.
Take-home trays made to fit your teeth exactly. The gel sits where it's supposed to, not on your gums.
We tell you what to expect up front. If whitening won't get you where you want to go, we'll say so and talk about other options.
