Your Whitening Options
We offer two routes, and plenty of patients combine them: a single in-office session for fast results, or professional take-home kits with custom trays for a gradual lift you control.
Before either option, we check for cavities, leaky fillings, and irritated gums. Whitening over an untreated problem is what usually causes the sharp sensitivity people blame on the gel.
Take-Home Kits
Custom-fitted trays and professional gel you use on your own schedule. The custom fit is what makes the difference — gel stays on the teeth instead of leaking onto your gums.
Why Professional Beats Over-the-Counter
- Higher-strength gel than anything sold retail
- Custom trays that fit your teeth, not a generic shape
- We check for decay and gum disease first, so whitening doesn't cause pain
- Guidance on managing sensitivity if you're prone to it
A Note on Existing Dental Work
Whitening lightens natural enamel but not crowns, veneers or tooth-coloured fillings. If you have restorations in your smile line, we'll plan the sequence so everything ends up matching.
Keeping the Brightness
The shade fades fastest in the first weeks if you go straight back to all-day coffee, tea, or red wine. Rinsing with water after those drinks, and using a straw when you can, keeps more of the result.
If you have custom trays, a short touch-up later is simpler than another full session. We will tell you how often that makes sense for your habits instead of handing you a one-size schedule.

In-Office Whitening
One appointment, professional-strength gel, and a noticeable difference before you leave. We protect the gums, watch for sensitivity during the visit, and stop if a tooth needs to be checked before we continue.
