Your teeth will chew through a lot of material over the years, and much of it can leave its mark on your smile. Dental stains come in two varieties: intrinsic stains, which occur beneath the enamel, and extrinsic stains, which develop on its surface. Teeth whitening can be a great choice for virtually any patient and can bolster confidence by creating a beautiful smile that you’d be proud to show off. This can open all sorts of opportunities in the social scene as well as the professional world.
Professional teeth whitening treatments come as take-home kits or in-office procedures. While there are many teeth whitening products available at stores or pharmacies, these professional treatments deliver superior results because they are administered by a qualified dentist and customized to meet the patient’s needs.
Many find that whitening their teeth at home is the most convenient route for them. Unlike store-bought products, professional take-home teeth whitening kits include customized trays and concentrated whitening gel that produce superior results while minimizing the risk of user error. All you’ll need to do is apply the gel to your trays and wear them for an hour every day for two weeks to achieve a stunningly white smile.
If you have a job interview or a special event coming up soon, in-office teeth whitening treatments are safe, effective, and can be completed in about an hour. During the procedure, your dentist will place barriers in your mouth to protect your soft tissues before treating your teeth with a few coats of whitening agent and using a special light to activate the process.
After you see the results of your teeth whitening process, you’ll probably be eager to preserve them. Enjoy white dairy products to help your teeth stay strong a bright while avoiding foods and beverages that are high in chemicals that can cause stains such as pigments, dyes, and tannins. You can also preserve the results of your treatment by practicing proper oral hygiene and seeing your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. The results of these treatments can last for several years with excellent care, and we’ll be happy to perform touch-up treatments when necessary.
A bright, beautiful smile doesn't have to cost you an arm or a leg. Teeth whitening is an affordable solution to refresh your smile. Several things affect the cost of teeth whitening, but we strive to keep a stunning smile within everyone's budget. We will treat tooth stains and discoloration without it costing your life's savings.
No two situations are identical, which is why there's not a flat fee for teeth whitening. Besides an initial consultation to ensure you're a candidate for the procedure, you may need a little prep work, like a dental cleaning, filling, or gum disease therapy. The complexity of your case will affect the amount you'll pay.
You have multiple options to reverse stains and discoloration, each with different costs. Your dentist will explain your options, which include:
Over-the-counter whitening products do not contain professional-strength whitening ingredients, so any results you see will be minimal and won't last.

Visiting a dentist for teeth whitening is an investment in proven, noticeable results. We will safely and effectively brighten your smile using the latest solutions in dentistry.
Your cosmetic dentist will create a personalized treatment plan. A member of our dental team will review your estimate and explain the fees. You'll know exactly what you'll have to pay before committing to anything. They will also discuss your payment options, which include:
