Who it’s for /

Is it for you?

Whitening lightens the natural color of your teeth. These are the most common cases.

Yellow or dull teeth

From coffee, tea, wine, smoking or simply the years.

A big date coming up

A wedding, a graduation or photos: in-office whitening shows the change in a single visit.

After orthodontics

When your braces come off or you finish your aligners, to show off your new smile.

Before bonding or veneers

If you’re fixing your front teeth, whiten first: that way they’re made to match the new color.

Step by step /First we check, then we whiten

This is what an in-office session looks like. It takes about 60 minutes.

  1. 01

    Checkup

    We make sure there are no cavities, inflamed gums or sensitivity; it’s included in the price. If there’s tartar, a cleaning comes first: the gel works better on clean teeth.

  2. 02

    Your starting shade

    We note the shade of your teeth with a shade guide, to compare it at the end.

  3. 03

    Protection

    We cover your gums and lips so the gel only touches your teeth.

  4. 04

    Whitening

    We apply the gel in several rounds during the session and check how you feel after each one.

  5. 05

    Result

    We compare your final shade with the starting one and explain how to care for it.

After treatment /

Making it last

For the first 48 hours your teeth pick up color more easily. What you eat and drink those two days matters more than ever.

How to care for it

  • For the first 48 hours, avoid coffee, tea, red wine, cola and dark sauces.
  • Skip smoking those days: tobacco stains freshly whitened teeth faster.
  • If your teeth feel sensitive, use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and avoid very cold or very hot food.
  • If you have take-home whitening trays, use them for a touch-up when we suggest it.
  • Come in for your cleaning every six months: clean teeth keep their color longer.

It doesn’t hurt. Some people feel sensitivity for a day or two afterward; it goes away. If your teeth are already sensitive, tell us at your checkup.
