Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Teeth whitening is ideal for most adults with healthy teeth and gums. It’s especially effective on yellow-toned stains caused by age, diet, or smoking. However, it may not be as effective on intrinsic stains or discoloration from medications or trauma. During your consultation, Dr. Simpson will examine your smile and discuss if whitening is the best choice—or if another cosmetic dentistry service, such as dental bonding or veneers, may better meet your goals.

Our Teeth Whitening Process

Consultation and Examination
We'll assess your oral health and discuss your goals to determine if you're a candidate for whitening.
In-Office Whitening
For immediate results, our in-office treatment uses a professional-grade whitening gel activated by a specialized light. The entire visit typically takes about an hour.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer a gradual transformation, we offer take-home kits with custom trays and instructions tailored for safe at-home use.

Maintenance
With proper care and touch-ups as needed, your brightened smile can last for months or longer. Pair whitening with regular dental cleanings and exams for optimal oral health.
