Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening
Over-the-counter whitening products like toothpastes, strips, or rinses are convenient but often ineffective for deep stains. These solutions only address surface discoloration and can take months to show minimal results. Natural or DIY methods, such as charcoal whitening, are not endorsed by the American Dental Association and may even damage enamel.
Professional teeth whitening, performed under the supervision of our skilled dentists, delivers superior results. Our treatments penetrate the dentin—the inner tooth layer where most stains reside—lightening teeth by several shades in just one session. Safe, effective, and customized, professional whitening ensures a brighter smile without compromising your oral health.
In-Office Teeth Whitening with Biolase
For fast, dramatic results, our in-office Biolase laser whitening is a top choice. This advanced system uses laser energy to activate a whitening gel, breaking down stains efficiently and achieving teeth up to 6–8 shades lighter in a single visit.
How It Works:
- A specialized whitening gel is applied to your teeth.
- The Biolase laser (Epic X or EzLase 940) activates the gel, accelerating stain removal.
- The procedure is completed in one session, delivering immediate results.
Benefits:
- Fast Results: Noticeable whitening in just one visit.
- Safe & Comfortable: Minimal sensitivity, even for sensitive teeth.
- Customizable: Adjusts for subtle or bold whitening.
- Long-Lasting: Results can last months or years with proper care.
At-Home Whitening with Day White® and NiteWhite®
Prefer whitening at home? Our Day White® and NiteWhite® systems offer convenient, professional-grade results.
Day White®
Designed for daytime use, Day White® is ideal for those who want a brighter smile without overnight trays. Requiring just one hour daily, this user-friendly kit includes whitening gel, a patented syringe, and custom-fitted trays. It can lighten teeth by up to 14 shades in 10–14 days.
- Cost-effective and easy to use
- Custom trays for comfort
- Low sensitivity with pleasant gel flavors
- No radiation, preserves tooth structure
Note: Day White® works best on healthy teeth. Deep or inorganic stains may require alternative treatments, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
NiteWhite® ACP
NiteWhite® ACP is a nighttime whitening gel with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) to minimize sensitivity and smooth enamel. Available in 10%, 16%, or 22% carbamide peroxide strengths, it effectively removes stains from smoking, food, or aging.
- Reduced sensitivity for comfortable treatment
- Smoother, lasting results
- Short treatment times with more control
- Cost-effective and reliable
How It Works: The gel’s peroxide breaks down stains embedded in the tooth structure, whitening teeth over several nights. Adding ACP enhances comfort and enamel health.

Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
Some patients experience mild sensitivity after whitening, which typically subsides quickly. To enhance comfort:
- Use sensitivity toothpaste (e.g., Sensodyne®) and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Avoid very hot or cold foods during sensitivity.
- Limit whitening frequency or product amount if discomfort persists.
Our whitening systems are designed to reduce sensitivity, and our dentists are here to address any concerns to ensure a comfortable experience.
Alternatives to Teeth Whitening
For severe or deep stains, whitening may not be enough. Consider these options:
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells that cover teeth to hide discoloration and imperfections, offering a durable, stain-resistant solution.
- Dental Crowns: Custom caps that restore and protect damaged teeth while matching your smile’s color, ideal for structural concerns.
Both options provide functional and aesthetic benefits. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your needs and recommend the best approach for your smile goals.
