Not every stain lifts the same way, which is why a real whitening consult starts by figuring out whether discoloration sits on the surface or deeper in the tooth. Extrinsic staining from food and drink is typically the fastest kind to lift with professional treatment. Intrinsic staining — from certain medications or old trauma — sometimes needs veneers or bonding instead of whitening alone.
In-office treatment uses a stronger gel than anything sold over the counter, applied under supervision to protect your gums. A custom take-home tray is commonly provided afterward for touch-ups down the road.
Results fade faster for patients who go right back to old staining habits, which is why most providers give a short list of things to avoid for 48 hours. Occasional touch-ups, rather than repeating a full treatment, tend to be all that's needed to hold onto results.
Higher peroxide concentration than store-bought kits, applied under supervision for safety. A provider calibrates strength and timing rather than applying a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Sensitivity is monitored throughout, with treatment adjusted if it becomes uncomfortable. Any discomfort during the session gets addressed immediately, not noted for next time.
Most patients see a noticeable shade change after a single in-office appointment. Results are documented with a shade guide, not just eyeballed.
Fitted trays extend your results well past the initial in-office treatment. Trays are molded to your teeth specifically, unlike the generic boil-and-bite kind sold in stores.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
