Teeth Whitening in Durham, NC

How professional whitening works
Whitening gel gently breaks up the stains that build up in your enamel over years of coffee, tea, wine, and time. Professional gel is stronger and more reliable than what you can buy over the counter, and because your trays are custom-fitted, the gel stays on your teeth and off your gums, for even results and less sensitivity.
Why custom take-home whitening
We offer custom take-home whitening because it gives you professional results with control and comfort. Store-bought strips and one-size trays leak, whiten unevenly, and often cause sensitivity. Custom trays whiten every tooth evenly, on your timeline, and they are reusable for touch-ups down the road.
Keeping your smile bright
Whitening is not permanent, but it lasts a good while, and your custom trays make touch-ups easy. Cutting back on staining foods and drinks, and keeping up with your cleanings, helps your results last. If deeper discoloration does not respond to whitening, we can talk through other options like bonding or veneers.
