Not every stain lifts the same way, which is why a real whitening consult starts by figuring out whether discoloration sits on the surface or deeper in the tooth. Extrinsic staining from food and drink is typically the fastest kind to lift with professional treatment. Intrinsic staining — from certain medications or old trauma — sometimes needs veneers or bonding instead of whitening alone.
In-office treatment uses a stronger gel than anything sold over the counter, applied under supervision to protect your gums. A custom take-home tray is commonly provided afterward for touch-ups down the road.
Diet matters just as much after whitening as the treatment itself — coffee, wine, and tobacco start re-staining enamel within days if habits don't change. Occasional touch-ups, rather than repeating a full treatment, tend to be all that's needed to hold onto results.
Higher peroxide concentration than store-bought kits, applied under supervision for safety. Concentration and exposure time are both adjusted based on your enamel and sensitivity history.
A protective barrier shields gums from the whitening gel for the entire session. The barrier is checked and reapplied as needed rather than set once and forgotten.
Most patients see a noticeable shade change after a single in-office appointment. Results are documented with a shade guide, not just eyeballed.
A custom-molded tray lets you touch up shade between visits. A proper fit keeps the gel on the teeth and off the gums during at-home touch-ups.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
