Brighter teeth with professional whitening.
If you're tired of drugstore whitening strips that don't deliver, professional teeth whitening at BrightSmiles Dental can help you safely brighten your smile in just a few visits—and keep it bright with custom trays.
How teeth whitening works at BrightSmiles Dental
We offer in-office whitening, custom take-home trays, or a combination of both. Together, we'll choose the option that fits your goals, timeline, and sensitivity level.
- Consultation & shade check. We examine your teeth and gums, review your goals, and note your starting shade.
- In-office whitening (if chosen). Professional gel is applied in the office while we protect your gums and soft tissues.
- Custom trays (if chosen). We take impressions or scans to make trays that fit your teeth closely.
- Guided touch-ups at home. You'll receive instructions on how often to whiten and how to care for your enamel.
Teeth whitening FAQ
Answers to common questions about brightening your smile safely.
Is professional teeth whitening better than store-bought kits?+
Professional whitening uses prescription-strength gels and custom trays or in-office application to brighten teeth more efficiently and evenly than most over-the-counter products. We also monitor sensitivity and protect your gums during treatment.
How long do whitening results last?+
Results vary by person and habits, but with good home care and periodic touch-ups, many patients enjoy their whiter smile for a year or longer. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can darken teeth more quickly.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?+
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. We can adjust the strength and timing of your treatment, and recommend products that help reduce sensitivity.
Can everyone whiten their teeth?+
Whitening works best on natural tooth enamel and may not change the color of crowns, fillings, or veneers. At your visit, we’ll check your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is safe and appropriate for you.
