Teeth Whitening
Your smile deserves to be white and bright. Our teeth whitening treatments will help you achieve just that—so you can feel confident in your teeth and smile.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Millions of people are disappointed with their smiles because their teeth are dulled or yellowed. Discolored teeth are frequently connected with poor hygiene but are also related to old age and tooth weakness, which various factors can cause.
Professional teeth whitening procedures allow you to achieve a sparkling smile in a single session. The treatment involves applying a hydrogen peroxide gel to the teeth and then activating the gel to release oxygen ions. These oxygen ions flood your teeth and break down inside and exterior stains to achieve a bright appearance. This bleaching method is exceedingly effective and safe, causing little to no discomfort.

How is professional teeth whitening performed?
Our dental office offers two types of professional teeth whitening services: in-office and custom-made trays.
- In-office. The in-office procedure involves covering sensitive areas in your mouth, such as your lips and gums, to protect them from exposure to the high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel. We apply the gel directly to your teeth and activate it, allowing it to work briefly before removing the coverings and rinsing the gel.
- Custom-made trays. Alternatively, we can take a custom mold of your teeth to create clear trays that you can use at home with a whitening gel. This method minimizes the risk of the gel affecting your gums or mouth and allows you to whiten your teeth comfortably at home. Place the whitening gel in the trays and insert them into your mouth.

How do I whiten my teeth at home?
If you’re looking for a teeth whitening remedy that you can try at home without visiting a dentist, you can do a few simple things. You can brush with baking powder, use hydrogen peroxide to brush, or rinse occasionally (but cut the peroxide in half to use a 1.5% solution and not a 3% solution, commonly available over the counter). You can also use apple cider vinegar as a brushing or rinsing agent. Eating more fruits and vegetables can benefit your body and teeth, while limiting the intake of foods that stain teeth, such as soda, coffee, and wine, is essential. Additionally, limit sugar intake and always remember to brush and floss twice daily, as it is still a powerful tool for maintaining good oral health.
