Teeth Whitening FAQs

Question: Do you offer fast, in-office treatments?

Answer: Yes. Within a single visit that lasts under two hours, you may achieve a significantly whiter smile.

Question: What if I prefer to whiten my teeth at home?

Answer: No problem. We offer at-home teeth whitening with the use of custom-fitted trays and bleaching gel. This treatment usually requires a duration of approximately two weeks for exceptional results.

Question: Can you treat most types of discoloration?

Answer: We treat staining, darkening, and yellowing – this includes most forms of discoloration as a result of most causes. These may include the side effects of certain medicines that you take, the natural effects of aging, the result of certain foods or drinks like coffee, or the use of tobacco.

Question: What if my teeth are too badly stained for traditional teeth whitening?

Answer: Guiding you toward a stunning smile that you feel proud to show off is our priority when it comes to cosmetic treatments. In this case, we will suggest other appropriate solutions, such as porcelain veneers.
