Keeping it bright
Occasional top-ups with your custom trays maintain the result for the long term.
Professional whitening vs. store-bought kits
Over-the-counter strips use low-strength gel and one-size-fits-all application, so results are slower and often uneven. Professional whitening uses stronger gel under supervision, with custom-fitted trays that keep the gel on your teeth and off your gums.
A dentist also checks why teeth are discolored first. Some stains respond well to whitening; others, such as those from old fillings or a tooth that has darkened after an injury, need a different fix.
What whitening can't change
Whitening lightens natural enamel only. Crowns, veneers and tooth-colored fillings keep their original shade, so if you have visible restorations we'll plan around them, and sometimes recommend whitening first and matching new work afterwards.

Teeth Whitening: common questions
How white will my teeth get?
Most patients gain three to eight shades depending on starting color and method. We'll show you realistic expectations before you commit.
Is whitening safe for enamel?
Yes. Professional peroxide gels used as directed don't damage enamel. We check your teeth and gums first so sensitivity is managed, not endured.
Will my crowns and fillings whiten too?
No. Restorations don't change color. If they're in your smile zone we'll plan whitening first, then match any replacements to your new shade.
Does whitening damage enamel?
Dentist-supervised whitening is considered safe for enamel when used as directed. Temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect and fades within days.
How long do whitening results last?
Results commonly last a year or more, depending on diet and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking bring stains back faster.
Is teeth whitening covered by insurance?
Whitening is cosmetic, so dental plans usually don't cover it. We're happy to quote the options before you decide.
