How long will the results last?

How long your results last will depend on your lifestyle habits. Avoiding staining foods and beverages and practicing good oral hygiene can extend the whitening effects. We also recommend regular touch-up treatments to maintain your shade.

Is teeth whitening painful?

While some of our patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity, they don’t report any other pain, and the sensitivity subsides after your treatment. Dr. Kirk can recommend desensitizing toothpaste to minimize your discomfort.

What about whitening toothpaste and mouthwash?

Whitening toothpaste and mouthwashes are useful for removing surface stains, but they don't offer the same level of whitening as professional treatments.

The Power of Professional Teeth Whitening

We offer teeth whitening to gently break down stains on your enamel and reveal the naturally whiter teeth hiding underneath. Dr. Kirk doesn’t settle for mediocre results. We can tailor a treatment plan just for you to achieve dramatic whitening, often 7-8 shades lighter, in a single visit! Dr. Kirk will also assess your individual needs to ensure a safe and effective approach. Plus, the results are long-lasting so that you can enjoy your bright smile for longer.

What to Expect at Your Teeth Whitening Appointment

Experienced Expertise. Dr. Kirk’s expertise ensures proper treatment application, minimizing the risk of gum irritation or tooth sensitivity – both of which are common side effects of unsupervised at-home treatments.
Custom-Made Trays. Dr. Kirk provides custom-fitted trays for at-home whitening that comfortably hug your teeth to prevent the bleaching agent from irritating your gums.
Ongoing Monitoring. Dr. Kirk will monitor your progress throughout the whitening process to make sure you get the optimal results.

Our Teeth Whitening Options

In-Office Whitening

This fast-acting procedure delivers dramatic results in a single visit! Dr. Kirk will apply a powerful bleaching agent to your teeth and activate it with a special light to start the whitening process. Once she is done, you’ll walk out with a noticeably brighter smile.

At-Home Whitening

For patients who prefer a more gradual approach, we provide custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel to use at home. This option allows you to whiten your teeth on your own schedule and includes regular monitoring from Dr. Kirk to ensure safe and consistent progress.

Professional vs. Drugstore Whitening

Drugstore products usually contain low concentrations of bleaching agents, which means you get slower, less dramatic whitening.
Drugstore options include one-size-fits-all trays, which can leak and cause gum irritation and uneven whitening.
Without professional assistance, your drugstore treatment can lead to tooth sensitivity and enamel damage.
Drugstore marketing usually portrays unrealistic results, which means you’re likely to end up disappointed.
