Teeth Whitening 


A simple change that can have a big impact.

We offer two types of whitening: temporary bleaching and permanent whitening. With at-home bleaching, we create trays for you to wear at home that put teeth (but not gums) in contact with bleaching solution.


This is relatively inexpensive and offers results in about 5–10 sessions, though the degree of whitening can vary from person to person. Monthly touch-ups are required to maintain the white shade.


For faster results, we also offer Opalescence Boost whitening, which gives you a brighter, whiter smile in under an hour. After preparing your lips and gums, the clinician applies the Opalescence gel that works with the Opalescence light to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration safely, effectively, and quickly. This procedure costs more, but for many patients the immediate results are worth it.


Some teeth cannot be whitened with a bleaching procedure, and in those cases we recommend veneers, - porcelain laminates that cover the teeth like a glove. Veneers can whiten even the darkest teeth, and the shade can be as light as you like. The results last up to 20 years. See the Veneers section for more details.


When supervised by a dentist, whitening will not damage gums or tooth structure, and these procedures can help give you a brighter, more youthful smile.
