Process
Consultation: Whitening starts with a personal consultation, where we review your oral health, discuss your goals and recommend the best approach. A professional cleaning may also be done first to remove surface stains and ensure even results.
In-Office Whitening: Our in-office option brightens your smile in a single visit. After protecting your gums, a strong whitening gel is applied, sometimes paired with a special light to speed up stain removal—producing noticeable results in about 60–90 minutes.
Take-Home Whitening Kit: If you’d rather whiten gradually, we provide a custom kit with trays and professional-strength gel. By wearing them daily for one to two weeks, you can whiten comfortably at home and control your pace.

Next Steps
Manage Sensitivity: To protect sensitive teeth, wear your custom trays with sensitivity gel for 2–4 hours before starting whitening.
Gradual Whitening at Home: Once sensitivity subsides, begin your at-home whitening routine with the gel strength (15% or 35%) recommended by your dentist.
Minimize Staining: Drink stain-causing beverages through a straw to limit contact with your teeth and help maintain results.
Avoid Staining Foods & Drinks: For the first 48 hours, skip items like coffee, red wine, berries and tomato sauces that can discolor freshly whitened teeth.
No Smoking or Tobacco: Stay away from tobacco products, which can quickly stain teeth and reverse whitening effects.
