Why do teeth get stained?
Although you may not see them, your enamel contains microscopic pores. Over time, compounds like tannins in coffee, tea, or red wine, as well as tar and nicotine from tobacco, seep into these pores, causing discoloration. Poor oral hygiene, certain medications, and aging can also contribute to staining.
Teeth whitening is effective for removing most stains. However, if your discoloration is intrinsic (such as that caused by dental trauma or fluorosis), we recommend veneers or bonding to brighten your teeth. Our dental team tries everything possible to ensure you achieve the bright, stain-free smile you deserve.
How do you whiten your teeth?
Before teeth whitening, the dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy enough to undergo the procedure. Cavities and gum disease must be addressed before whitening your teeth.
Our office uses at-home teeth whitening trays to erase tooth stains. During your consultation, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth to custom-create your tray. Each tray is fabricated to match the exact specifications of your teeth to ensure a precise fit.
Within days, your tray will be ready to collect. When picking up your tray, we’ll give you instructions on how to wear and maintain your whitening kit. Your whitening trays are pre-filled with clinical-grade whitening gel. The trays are worn daily for between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the concentration. It can be used anywhere, anytime—read, watch, and surf the internet as the whitening agent does its magic. After your whitening session, remove and rinse your trays, then brush your teeth thoroughly. Repeat this routine for two weeks to achieve the desired results.
Why customized trays?
Customized trays ensure a precise fit, allowing professional-grade whitening gel to coat your teeth evenly for optimal results. Our whitening trays achieve professional strength outcomes that store-bought kits can’t match.
Many patients prefer at-home whitening trays to in-office teeth whitening because they’re more affordable and gentle. They can also be stored and re-used in the future.
How do I preserve my white smile?
Now that you have achieved your bright smile, it’s time to preserve your investment. Observe the following tips to keep your smile stain-free and well-polished.
- Brush your teeth twice daily
- Floss your teeth at least once daily, although doing it twice won’t hurt
- Adhere to regular dental cleanings

- Quit tobacco use of any form
- Touch up your results every six months with your trays
Professional teeth whitening isn’t permanent, but a few steps can help preserve your results for many years.
