What is professional teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening, also called bleaching, can help lighten certain types of tooth discoloration. Results and suitability vary, and a dental evaluation can help identify the cause of staining and discuss sensitivity and realistic expectations.

Who may benefit from teeth whitening?
- Patients with staining or discoloration of natural teeth
- People comparing in-office whitening with custom take-home trays
- Patients seeking advice about sensitivity and realistic shade changes
We evaluate your teeth, gums, and goals before recommending treatment. The right approach depends on your individual oral health.
