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. Fitted trays let you maintain results at home between office visits.
Results fade faster for patients who go right back to old staining habits, which is why most providers give a short list of things to avoid for 48 hours. A touch-up tray a few times a year is usually enough to maintain the brighter shade long-term.
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. Any discomfort during the session gets addressed immediately, not noted for next time.
A single session is usually enough for visible brightening, unlike gradual take-home-only kits. Before-and-after shade comparisons are typically taken so the change is measurable, not just a guess.
A custom-molded tray lets you touch up shade between visits. Trays are molded to your teeth specifically, unlike the generic boil-and-bite kind sold in stores.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
