About Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening uses whitening gel applied to the teeth under a dentist's direction. We offer two options:
- Take-home whitening — trays made from impressions of your teeth, used at home with whitening gel we provide.
- In-office whitening — whitening gel applied at our office.
Whitening can lighten natural tooth staining from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, and yellowing that comes with age. It does not change the color of crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings. It often does not work well on tetracycline staining, fluorosis, or discoloration from injury or root canal treatment. Results vary from person to person, and staining returns over time.
What to Expect
Treatment starts with an exam to check that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening and to see what kind of staining you have. A cleaning may be recommended first. We explain the options and their cost before any treatment begins.
Some people have temporary tooth sensitivity during whitening. If you are planning crowns or veneers as well, whitening is usually done first so the new work can be matched to the whitened shade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will whitening change the color of my crowns or fillings?
No. Crowns, veneers, bridges, and fillings do not respond to whitening. If they are in the front of your mouth, we will talk through what that means before you start.
Does whitening cause sensitivity?
Some people have temporary sensitivity during whitening. Let us know if you already have sensitive teeth and we can talk through the options.
Do you accept my insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan. Call our office with your insurance information and we can talk through how it applies before your visit.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
Cost depends on the treatment you need, which we can't know before an exam. We explain the treatment plan and its cost before any treatment begins.
