A Brighter Smile, Safely and Comfortably
Coffee, tea, red wine, and simply time can dull your smile, making it look older than you feel. Professional whitening helps restore a brighter, fresher smile that looks natural and gives many people more confidence when they smile, laugh, and pose for photos. With both in-office and custom take-home options, we'll help you choose the approach that best fits your goals and your comfort. Results vary from person to person, and we'll always give you honest expectations before treatment begins.
Your whitening options
We will help you pick the approach that fits your timeline and how sensitive your teeth are. Both options use professional-grade gel that is stronger and safer than what you will find on a store shelf.
- In-office whitening to brighten your smile in a single visit
- Custom take-home trays to whiten gradually at your own pace
- Touch-up gel to keep your results looking fresh over time
- A quick check first to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy
Why see a dentist to whiten?
Whitening works best on a clean, healthy mouth. We make sure there are no untreated cavities or gum issues first, since whitening over a problem can cause discomfort. Custom-fitted trays also keep the gel on your teeth and off your gums, which means less sensitivity and a more even result.
Not all stains respond the same way, and some discolouration comes from inside the tooth rather than the surface. We will set honest expectations and suggest other options, like bonding, if whitening alone will not get you where you want to be.
Keeping your smile bright
After whitening, a few simple habits help your results last — rinsing after coffee or wine, keeping up your regular cleanings, and the odd touch-up with take-home gel. We will give you a simple plan so your brighter smile sticks around.

Frequently asked questions
How much does professional whitening cost?+
The cost of professional whitening depends on whether you choose custom take-home trays or in-office treatment. Whether you're getting ready for a wedding, an important event, or simply want to feel more confident when you smile, we'll help you choose the option that best fits your goals. We'll explain your options and provide a clear written estimate before treatment begins, so you know exactly what to expect. Whitening is cosmetic, so it is generally not covered by insurance.
Does whitening cause sensitivity?+
Some people experience temporary sensitivity, but it usually settles within a day or two. Unlike store-bought whitening products, professional whitening is customized to your teeth and your comfort level. If you're prone to sensitivity, we can adjust your treatment while still helping you achieve a brighter, natural-looking smile you'll feel confident sharing. Our goal is to give you excellent results while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
How white will my teeth get?+
Most people see a noticeable improvement, although results depend on your starting shade and the type of staining you have. Our goal isn't to make your teeth unnaturally white—it's to help you achieve a brighter, healthier-looking smile that still looks like you. We'll set honest expectations, explain the results you can realistically expect, and recommend the approach most likely to help you reach your goals.
Is whitening safe for my teeth?+
Yes. Professional whitening is safe and gentle on enamel when it's done correctly. Before recommending treatment, we'll examine your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is the right choice for you. If it is, we'll help you achieve a brighter smile while protecting your oral health. If it isn't, we'll explain why and recommend another option that better fits your needs and goals.
How long do the results last?+
Results can last from several months to a couple of years, depending on your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can cause teeth to stain again more quickly. The good news is that simple touch-ups with custom trays can help you keep your smile looking bright for years without starting from scratch. We'll also share a few easy tips to help you enjoy your results for as long as possible, so you can continue smiling with confidence.
