Our in-house whitening treatments provide stunning results with low sensitivity, and take-home kits offer convenience and professional guidance.
The in-chair teeth whitening procedure typically takes about an hour to an hour and a half. During the treatment, we apply a protective coating over your gums, followed by the whitening gel, which is activated by a bright light. We repeat the process 2-3 times, and you’ll leave with a smile several shades whiter.
Our take-home teeth whitening kit includes custom-made trays and professional whitening gel. You’ll wear the trays for about an hour a day, up to two weeks. At the end of your treatment, you’ll achieve results comparable to in-house sessions. It’s recommended to top off your results after each checkup.
