Not all discoloration responds the same way to whitening, which is why a proper consult starts by identifying whether the staining is surface-level or set deeper in the tooth. Extrinsic stains — from coffee, wine, or tobacco — usually lift well with peroxide-based whitening gel. Intrinsic staining, like the kind caused by certain medications or old trauma to a tooth, may need veneers or bonding instead of whitening alone.
Professional treatments use stronger whitening agents than anything sold over the counter, applied under supervision to protect your gums. A custom tray kit is commonly provided afterward so you can maintain results without repeat office visits.
Diet matters just as much after whitening as the treatment itself — coffee, red wine, and tobacco start re-staining enamel within days if habits don't change. A touch-up tray a few times a year is usually enough to maintain the brighter shade long-term.
Higher peroxide concentrations than store-bought kits, applied under supervision for safety.
Enamel sensitivity is monitored throughout the session, with treatment paused if needed.
A single appointment is usually enough for a visible shade improvement, unlike gradual take-home-only kits.
Fitted trays let you touch up results at home between office visits.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
