Teeth Whitening
You deserve bright, white teeth in your smile. Our teeth whitening treatments will help you achieve just that—so you can feel confident in your tooth coloring.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Millions of people are unhappy with their smiles because of stained or discolored teeth. Discolored teeth can be associated with poor hygiene, but they are also associated with old age, and frailty of the teeth which can be caused by many different causes.
Professional teeth whitening treatments make it easier to achieve a bright smile, sometimes in just one treatment. The treatment works by using a hydrogen peroxide gel and activating the gel to release oxygen ions. These oxygen ions flood your teeth and break down interior and exterior staining to achieve a brighter and whiter look. Not only are professional treatments light-activated but they are able to use stronger solutions than are available over the counter. This bleaching process is incredibly effective and extremely safe with little to no discomfort.

How is professional teeth whitening performed?
Our office offers two professional whitening services: in-office teeth whitening and custom teeth whitening trays.
- In-office teeth whitening: These procedures start by covering up vulnerable areas inside the mouth, including the lips and gums, to prevent irritation from the whitening solution. Then, we apply a high-concentrate hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the teeth and activate it. You will rest comfortably for a short time until the gel does its work. Then, we remove the coverings and rinse the gel away.
- Custom teeth whitening trays: We will take a custom mold of your teeth to make clear trays you take home, along with a whitening gel. These trays will help minimize the risk of whitening gel affecting your gums or mouth, and you can whiten your teeth at home. All you have to do is place the whitening gel inside the trays and place the trays in your mouth.

How do I whiten my teeth at home?
Looking for an at-home teeth whitening solution without visiting the dentist? Here are a few tips for teeth whitening at home:
- Brush your teeth with baking powder
- Use hydrogen peroxide to brush or rinse with on an occasional basis (cutting the peroxide in half so you are using a 1.5% solution and not a 3% solution, which is typical for over-the-counter)
- Use apple cider vinegar as a brushing or rinsing agent
- Eat more fruits and vegetables! They are good for your body and your teeth.
- Limit foods that stain your teeth such as soda, coffee, and wine
- Limit your sugar intake
- Always remember to brush and floss twice a day—its the core of your oral health regimen.
