Not all staining responds to whitening the same way, so we start with a shade check and a look at whether staining is surface-level or deeper in the tooth.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Teeth Whitening, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
Not all staining is the same — we distinguish surface stains from deeper intrinsic discoloration before recommending a method.
Whitening agents are selected and concentrated appropriately for your enamel condition and sensitivity history.
Patients with a history of sensitivity get a modified schedule to minimize discomfort during treatment.
Both in-office and take-home options are quoted clearly upfront, so you can choose based on budget and timeline, not guesswork.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Gum and soft tissue are shielded throughout the appointment to protect against irritation. Most patients see two to eight shades of improvement in one visit, depending on starting shade.
Custom-fitted trays and a lower-concentration gel let you whiten gradually over one to two weeks at home. This option tends to produce more even results with less sensitivity than in-office treatment.
We identify sensitivity risk at the assessment visit and adjust the whitening protocol accordingly. This step adds a little time but makes the entire process far more comfortable.
We'll tell you honestly if your staining needs bonding or a veneer instead of whitening gel. Setting the right expectation here prevents disappointment after treatment.
Whitening fades gradually with coffee, tea, and red wine exposure — we'll set a realistic touch-up schedule. Most patients touch up every six to twelve months depending on diet and habits.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
A short assessment tells us which whitening approach fits your case best.
Based on your timeline and sensitivity history, we'll recommend the option that fits, with pricing upfront.
Desensitizing steps are built into the process, whether you're in the chair or using take-home trays.
We compare your new shade to the baseline and set a realistic touch-up schedule.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Teeth Whitening treatment with us in the past year.
“Take-home trays worked better for me than I expected, and barely any sensitivity thanks to the desensitizing step.”
“They were upfront that one of my teeth wouldn't whiten the same as the others because of an old root canal. Appreciated the honesty.”
“In-office results were visible immediately, and they walked me through exactly what to expect beforehand.”
“My teeth are usually sensitive to everything, and this was the first whitening treatment that didn't leave me wincing for days.”
“The touch-up kit they gave me has kept results looking fresh for almost a year now.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Teeth Whitening.
Results depend on starting shade and staining type; most patients see two to eight shades of improvement.
Patients with a sensitivity history get a modified, gentler schedule to reduce discomfort.
In-office uses a stronger gel for faster same-day results; take-home trays whiten gradually with less sensitivity over one to two weeks.
Intrinsic staining from old trauma or a prior root canal responds differently to whitening gel than surface staining does.
Coffee, tea, and red wine speed up fading — a touch-up kit helps maintain results longer.
We won't recommend maximum-strength whitening if your enamel or gum health doesn't support it.
