  • Best for: Gradual improvement, sensitive teeth, budget-conscious patients

Call (704) 396-6166 to discuss which option best fits your needs.

Professional vs Over-the-Counter Products

Professional teeth whitening offers significant advantages over drugstore alternatives:

Professional Benefits:

  • Stronger whitening agents (up to 35% vs 10% hydrogen peroxide)
  • Custom-fitted trays prevent gel leakage
  • Professional supervision manages sensitivity
  • Faster, more dramatic results (2-8 shades vs 1-2 shades)
  • Even, consistent whitening without streaks

OTC Limitations:

  • Weaker concentrations produce minimal results
  • One-size-fits-all trays often leak or fit poorly
  • Higher risk of sensitivity and gum irritation

Many patients combine whitening with other restorative dentistry treatments for comprehensive smile makeovers.

  • In-office whitening: $400-800
  • Take-home custom trays: $300-600

Managing Sensitivity and Results

Sensitivity Prevention:

  • Pre-treatment desensitizing gel application
  • Custom tray fit prevents gel contact with gums
  • Fluoride treatments strengthen enamel post-whitening

Maintaining Results (1-3 years with proper care):

  • Avoid staining substances for 48 hours post-treatment
  • Practice excellent oral hygiene
  • Use whitening toothpaste for surface stain removal
  • Schedule annual touch-ups for optimal brightness

Contraindications:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Children under 16
  • Severe tooth sensitivity or enamel defects
  • Active gum disease requiring treatment first
  • Extensive dental work in visible areas

For patients who aren't candidates for whitening, we offer porcelain veneers, bonding, or other cosmetic solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients achieve 2-8 shades whiter with professional treatment. Results depend on your starting shade, staining type, and treatment choice. We'll show you realistic expectations during consultation.
Professional whitening typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on your diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle habits. Touch-up treatments can extend results indefinitely.
Yes, professional whitening is safe when performed by trained dental professionals. We use protective measures and monitor your comfort throughout treatment.
Professional whitening doesn't damage tooth enamel when performed correctly. We use appropriate concentrations and timing to ensure safety.
Whitening only affects natural tooth enamel, not dental restorations. You may need to replace visible fillings or crowns after whitening to match your new shade.
In-office whitening ranges from $400-800, while take-home treatments cost $300-600. We offer financing options and package deals.
Whitening gel temporarily opens enamel pores, allowing access to nerve endings. This is normal and subsides within 24-48 hours after treatment.
Avoid coffee, tea, and other staining beverages for 48 hours after treatment. After that, you can resume normal consumption but consider using a straw and rinsing with water.
