Professional Teeth Whitening: The Safest Way to Whiten Teeth for a Brighter Smile
A beautiful, white smile is something people will notice and remember about you for years, sometimes long after they’ve forgotten your name. Smiles can make a huge impression. They are what can close a sale, secure votes, and even spark a new romance.

Professional Teeth Whitening Compared to Teeth Whitening Kits Sold In Stores
If you haven’t yet tried teeth whitening kits, strips, and toothpaste sold in stores, allow us to save you time, money, and disappointment. If you have, then you already know what we’re talking about.
The main reason over-the-counter teeth whitening is largely ineffective is that, legally, they are not allowed to sell products containing more than .01 percent hydrogen peroxide. On the other hand, many of our professional treatments can use up to six percent.
And yes, while these in-store products are cheaper than professional teeth whitening, the cost of buying underpowered whitening products starts to add up. They usually average between $30 and $100, sometimes even more.
People spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on these lower-quality treatments to get equivalent results.
Another advantage professional teeth whitening offers is professional teeth cleaning that removes more plaque and tartar than brushing and flossing at home.
Your new whitening treatment will not only make your teeth gleam, but they will also feel fresher and healthier.

Our At-Home Teeth Whitening Program
Our take-home teeth whitening program works to gradually whiten your teeth on your own schedule. Depending on your dentist’s instructions, each treatment can take between 5 to 30 minutes per night.
This system uses bleaching trays that are custom-made to fit your smile perfectly. This means more of the gel covers a larger surface area of your teeth, maximizing your results.
Plus, custom trays help ensure less gum irritation as just the right amount of gel makes contact with your teeth and does not spill over.
You can also combine our in-office treatments with our take-home program for effective whitening year-round.
Compatibility and Comfort
Our in-office and take-home treatments are completely safe. These treatments are great for folks with good to great oral health.
However, those problems with issues such as tooth decay or gum disease must be addressed before treatment.
Also, those with very sensitive teeth might not be able to tolerate professional strength bleaching.
Finally, those with dental work such as implants, crowns, and bridges might need to undergo different treatments to brighten or replace those devices.
