Whiter, and still yours

Professional whitening lifts years of coffee and tea — safely, with your gums protected and sensitivity kept in check.

02Will it work for me?

What whitening can and can’t change

  • Works:

    Yellow stains from coffee, tea, wine and age

    These respond best.

  • Works:

    Healthy teeth and gums

    We check this at an exam first.

  • Doesn’t change:

    Crowns, veneers and fillings

    They don’t change colour and may need replacing to match.

  • Doesn’t change:

    Grey stains from certain antibiotics

    These respond slowly; bonding or veneers may suit better.

03Step by step

Two ways to whiten

  1. Check first

    A quick exam makes sure teeth and gums are healthy and records your starting shade.

  2. In the office

    A professional gel is applied in short rounds while your gums are protected — about an hour.

  3. Or at home

    Custom trays from a 3D scan and a gentler gel, worn for a short time each day for one to two weeks.

04How we work

Our clinical standards

The details that make a difference to how this treatment is done — and why we do them.

  • An exam first

    Whitening only after a checkup: cavities and gum problems are treated first, and we tell you if crowns or fillings won’t change colour.

  • Your shade recorded before and after

    We record your starting shade so you can see the real change.

  • Custom trays from a 3D scan

    Take-home trays fit your teeth closely, so the gel stays on the teeth and off the gums.

  • Sensitivity managed

    Sensitivity is common and temporary. We adjust the strength and wear time and can add a desensitising gel.

06Cost and insurance

What it costs

$300–$800 in-office whitening

Typical range in the US without insurance (2026 consumer cost guides). Your own estimate comes after the exam, in writing, before anything is done.

Take-home trays usually cost less and can be reused for touch-ups.

Dental insurance
Cosmetic treatment is usually not covered by insurance. You get a written estimate first, and monthly payments are possible.
Monthly payments
Third-party financing such as CareCredit lets you spread the cost, if you’d like.
No insurance?
Ask about our membership plan: checkups, cleanings and X-rays for a yearly fee, plus a discount on treatment.

08Questions

Questions patients ask

All questions

Some people feel short-lived sensitivity; we can adjust the gel strength and recommend a desensitizing toothpaste.

Often one to three years, depending on coffee, tea, wine and smoking. Occasional touch-ups keep it bright.
