In-office teeth whitening and take-home whitening trays differ in terms of timeliness, effectiveness, and convenience. In-office whitening typically provides faster, more effective results but also costs more. Take-home trays take a little longer, and the results may not be as strong as in-office whitening. However, take-home trays are less expensive and can be completed at your convenience.

How Teeth Whitening Works
If you’re considering teeth whitening, we’re here to answer any questions and discuss our whitening options.
With in-office teeth whitening, we apply a high-concentration bleaching gel. When activated by a special light, the gel breaks down stains on the surface of your teeth. Following treatment, patients typically see immediate, noticeable results—increasing their teeth’s whitening by several shades in just one session.
With take-home whitening trays, we provide custom-made trays that fit your teeth. You will fill the trays with professional-grade whitening gel and wear them daily, usually for 30 minutes to a few hours. They gradually lift stains over one to two weeks, making your smile brighter.

Following Your Teeth Whitening
After your treatment, we’ll provide instructions on extending the effects of your teeth whitening for as long as possible. This includes avoiding food and drinks that stain your teeth (coffee, wine, berries, etc.) and avoiding tobacco products.

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening can often last six months to two years, depending on your habits. Avoiding staining foods, tobacco and practicing good oral hygiene can prolong results. Occasional touch-ups help maintain a bright, confident smile over time.

Is teeth whitening safe for sensitive teeth?
When done by a dental professional, teeth whitening is generally safe for sensitive teeth. Lower-concentration gels, shorter wear times, and desensitizing agents can minimize discomfort while effectively brightening your smile. If you have sensitive teeth, please let us know, and we can adjust your teeth whitening accordingly.
