Get a Dazzling, Confident Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening

A bright, white smile is one of the first things people notice. It can boost your confidence, light up your features, and take years off your appearance. But over time, common factors like coffee, tea, red wine, and even aging can lead to staining and discoloration.

If you're feeling self-conscious about a smile that's lost its luster, you're not alone. While over-the-counter strips and pastes promise big results, they often deliver disappointment and sensitivity.

At Designing Smiles, we offer professional, safe, and highly effective teeth whitening solutions that deliver stunning, reliable results. Our expert team will help you erase stubborn stains and achieve the brilliant, white smile you've always wanted, all in a safe, comfortable environment.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

When it comes to whitening your teeth, "professional" isn't just a label—it's the key to getting the results you want safely and effectively. The dental team at Designing Smiles has access to treatments and expertise that are simply not available in a box at the drugstore.

Here’s why a professional treatment is the superior choice:

• Safety First: Over-the-counter trays are one-size-fits-all, which often leads to the whitening gel leaking onto your gums. This can cause significant irritation, sensitivity, and even chemical burns. Our treatments are dentist-supervised, ensuring your gums and enamel are protected throughout the process.
• Stronger, Faster Results: We use professional-grade, high-concentration whitening agents that are far more powerful than anything sold over-the-counter. This means we can lift deeper, more stubborn stains in a fraction of the time.
• Customized for You: Not all stains are a good fit for whitening. Our dental experts will first assess your oral health to ensure you’re a good candidate. We identify the cause of your discoloration (e.g., food, age, medication) and customize a treatment plan to achieve your specific smile goals.
• Even, Consistent Whitening: Flimsy strips can miss spots and create a blotchy, uneven appearance. Our professional methods ensure that every tooth is treated evenly, giving you a seamless, natural-looking, and consistently brilliant smile.

Our Professional Teeth Whitening Options

We understand that every patient has unique goals, budgets, and timelines. That's why Designing Smiles offers flexible whitening solutions to fit your lifestyle.

In-Office Professional Whitening

The Fastest Way to a Dazzling Smile

Our in-office whitening treatment is the perfect solution for anyone who wants dramatic results, fast. Ideal for busy professionals or in preparation for a special event like a wedding, reunion, or important presentation, this procedure delivers a significantly brighter smile in just one comfortable visit.

What to Expect:

1. Preparation: We begin by placing a protective barrier over your gums and lips to ensure your comfort and safety.
2. Application: A powerful, professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied to the surface of your teeth.
3. Activation: The gel is activated (often with a special light) to accelerate the bleaching process, breaking down deep stains quickly and effectively.
4. The Reveal: After a short time, the gel is removed, revealing a smile that is several shades whiter and brighter.

You will walk out of our office on the same day with a transformed, radiant smile.

Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits

Professional Results in the Comfort of Your Home

For those who prefer to whiten on their own schedule, our custom take-home kits offer a perfect blend of professional-grade results and at-home convenience. This is not the same as an over-the-counter kit.

What to Expect:

1. Impressions: We take precise impressions of your teeth to create a set of custom-fitted whitening trays. This custom fit is the key to success—it ensures the whitening gel stays in uniform contact with your teeth and, just as importantly, off your sensitive gums.
2. Your Kit: We provide you with your custom trays and a supply of professional-strength whitening gel, which is significantly more effective than store-bought options.
3. The Process: Our team will give you clear instructions on how to apply the gel and how long to wear the trays each day (typically 30-60 minutes). You'll wear them daily for about one to two weeks until you achieve your desired shade of white.

This method provides powerful, long-lasting results and gives you the bonus of having custom trays you can use for future touch-ups.

[H2] Are You a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective procedure for most patients. The best candidates are those who have healthy teeth and gums and are looking to correct staining caused by:

• Coffee, tea, or red wine
• Tobacco use
• Aging, which naturally yellows teeth over time

It's important to note that whitening treatments are designed to work on natural tooth enamel. Dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and veneers will not whiten.

If you have restorations on your front teeth, or if your staining is intrinsic (caused by medication like tetracycline or trauma), Dr. [Dentist's Name] or a member of our team will discuss alternative cosmetic options, such as veneers or dental bonding, during your consultation.

Your Teeth Whitening Journey at Designing Smiles

1. The Consultation: Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine the best whitening option for you. We will also perform a shade analysis to set a baseline and track your progress.
2. The Preparation: For the best results, we highly recommend a professional dental cleaning before your whitening treatment. This removes any plaque or tartar buildup, allowing the whitening agent to work directly on your enamel.
3. Your Whitening Treatment: This is when you'll receive either your in-office procedure or your custom take-home trays.
4. Maintaining Your Bright Smile: After your treatment, we'll provide simple aftercare instructions to help you maintain your results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening

Q: Is teeth whitening safe? Will it damage my enamel? A: Yes! When supervised by a dental professional, teeth whitening is exceptionally safe. The active ingredients in our whitening agents are proven effective and will not harm or weaken your tooth enamel.

Q: Does teeth whitening hurt? What about sensitivity? A: Temporary tooth sensitivity is the most common side effect of whitening. However, because our professional treatments are customized and supervised, we can take many steps to minimize this. Our custom trays prevent gel from touching sensitive gums, and we can adjust the gel's formula or your treatment schedule if you are prone to sensitivity.

Q: How long will my teeth whitening results last? A: This depends heavily on your lifestyle. If you avoid staining foods and drinks and maintain excellent oral hygiene, your results can last for a year or more. We recommend periodic touch-ups (especially with our take-home kits) to keep your smile looking its best.

Q: How white will my teeth get? A: Results vary from person to person. Our goal is to achieve your brightest natural shade. During your consultation, we will help you set realistic expectations based on your starting shade and the cause of your discoloration.

Q: Is professional whitening worth it compared to over-the-counter strips? A: Absolutely. While OTC strips are cheap, they deliver weak, inconsistent results and carry a high risk of gum irritation. Our professional treatments provide safer, faster, and far more dramatic and predictable results, making them a much better value in the long run.
