What are the different available teeth whitening options?

In-office whitening is the quickest method and takes about an hour. During treatment, whitening gel is applied to your teeth before being activated with a high-tech ultraviolet light.

Take-home whitening comes in a kit containing custom whitening trays, whitening gel, and instructions to allow you to whiten your smile in the privacy of your home.

If your smile has lost its luster and you are left dealing with a tired, dull smile, consider professional teeth whitening to brighten up your smile.
