Not all discoloration responds the same way to whitening, which is why a proper consult starts by identifying whether the staining is surface-level or set deeper in the tooth. Extrinsic stains — from coffee, wine, or tobacco — usually lift well with peroxide-based whitening gel. Intrinsic staining, like the kind caused by certain medications or old trauma to a tooth, may need veneers or bonding instead of whitening alone.
Professional treatments use stronger whitening agents than anything sold over the counter, applied under supervision to protect your gums. Take-home trays with custom-fitted guards are often paired with the in-office visit for touch-ups down the road.
Diet matters just as much after whitening as the treatment itself — coffee, red wine, and tobacco start re-staining enamel within days if habits don't change. A touch-up tray a few times a year is usually enough to maintain the brighter shade long-term.
Higher peroxide concentrations than store-bought kits, applied under supervision for safety.
Enamel sensitivity is monitored throughout the session, with treatment paused if needed.
A single appointment is usually enough for a visible shade improvement, unlike gradual take-home-only kits.
A custom-molded tray extends your results well past the initial in-office treatment.
