Drugstore strips fade fast and can leave uneven results — professional Teeth Whitening is calibrated to your enamel, not a generic formula. Smile Center Dentistry checks your enamel and gums before recommending a strength.
Not every patient should use the same concentration of whitening gel, so we don't treat every case the same way. We'd rather delay a whitening session than treat over a cavity we haven't addressed.
Sensitive teeth get a gentler protocol; we don't push maximum strength on every patient by default. Stronger isn't always better — the right concentration for your enamel matters more than speed.
A quick exam catches issues that whitening over them would only make worse. This exam is included in your visit, not billed as a separate add-on.
Both options use professional-grade gel, just at different concentrations and timelines. We help you decide based on your timeline and sensitivity, not just what's more profitable for us.
Desensitizing gel and post-treatment guidance are part of every whitening visit, not an upsell. Most sensitivity fades within a day or two when managed properly.
Whitening isn't one-size-fits-all — here's what we offer after checking your shade and sensitivity.
One appointment, professional-grade gel, and a shade guide comparison before and after. We monitor sensitivity throughout the session rather than applying gel and walking away.
Trays molded to your exact bite let you whiten gradually at home with a lower-concentration gel. We check your progress at a follow-up to confirm even results.
We compare your current shade against a guide before treatment so you have a real baseline, not a guess. This appointment also flags any restorations that won't whiten along with natural teeth.
We adjust gel exposure time for sensitive patients rather than pushing through discomfort. Post-visit care instructions are given verbally and in writing.
A quick touch-up session every several months keeps results from fading back to baseline. We recommend a schedule based on your diet and habits, not a generic interval.
We're upfront if your case will show slower results and explain why before you spend money. Realistic expectations are set at your shade consult, not after treatment disappoints you.
We ask about sensitivity history when you book, so we're prepared for your specific case.
We check for cavities and gum health, then compare your current shade against a guide.
In-office sessions take about an hour; take-home trays are fitted and explained the same visit.
We schedule touch-ups based on your habits, not a generic calendar reminder.
"Did the in-office session before my wedding. Noticeably brighter after one hour and no sensitivity afterward."
"Sensitive teeth usually make whitening miserable for me, but they adjusted the gel strength and it was totally manageable."
"Shade comparison before and after was a nice touch — I could actually see the difference, not just take their word for it."
"Honest about what whitening could and couldn't fix on my teeth — no overselling."
"Had some intrinsic staining from an old medication and they explained upfront it would take longer to lighten. Appreciated not being oversold on a quick fix."
We compare your before-and-after against a shade guide so the improvement isn't just a guess. Take-home trays typically show gradual improvement over one to two weeks.
Professional whitening, properly calibrated, doesn't damage healthy enamel — that's why we check your teeth first. We monitor your enamel condition throughout treatment, not just at the start.
Coffee, wine, and tobacco fade results faster — we discuss realistic maintenance based on your habits. A touch-up schedule tailored to your habits helps extend results significantly.
We flag any crowns or veneers upfront so you're not surprised by an uneven result later. If a mismatch would result, we discuss options honestly before you commit to treatment.
Yes, with an adjusted gel concentration and desensitizing treatment built into your visit. We check in during treatment and adjust if sensitivity becomes uncomfortable.
In-office gives faster results in one visit; take-home is gradual and lets you control the pace — we'll recommend based on your goals. We'll walk through the trade-offs honestly at your shade consult.
