What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
At its core, professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses a safe, powerful whitening agent to break down and lift stains from the enamel and dentin of your teeth. Unlike surface-level drugstore strips, our advanced formula penetrates the tooth to remove deep, set-in discoloration, revealing your natural, brighter shade.
Teeth Whitening Reveals Your Best Smile
Everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, and red wine, along with certain foods, can leave your teeth looking dull and discolored over time. While over-the-counter products offer limited results, professional teeth whitening delivers a significantly brighter outcome, safely and effectively. We utilize powerful, dental-grade whitening systems that penetrate deeper to break up stains, ensuring a more radiant and lasting transformation.
How Effective Is It?
Our professional-grade tooth whitening treatments are highly effective and can lighten your teeth by several shades in as little as one to two hours. The results are noticeably brighter, whiter teeth that will instantly bring a smile to your face, and brings with it a renewed confidence in your smile. With professional treatments, your teeth will be many shades whiter than traditional store-bought treatments. Our whitening formula makes a difference you’ll have to see to believe!
The Teeth Whitening Process
Here’s what you can expect during your visit with Dr. Brittany McKinley-Holloway:- Preparation: We begin by ensuring your teeth and gums are healthy. We then place a protective barrier over your gums and lips to isolate your teeth.
- Application: We carefully apply the whitening gel to the surface of your teeth.
- Activation: The gel works its magic, breaking down years of stains. The entire process is fast, and you can achieve a dramatically whiter smile in about one to two hours. While you wait, you are free to use our comfort amenities: watch TV, listen to music, etc.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
For our patients who prefer to whiten on their own schedule, we offer professional take-home kits. These are a fantastic, flexible option that still delivers exceptional results.
Here’s how our take-home system works:
Custom Impressions: First, we take precise impressions of your teeth.
Custom-Fitted Trays: From these impressions, we create a set of clear, comfortable whitening trays. This custom fit is essential—it ensures the whitening gel stays in uniform contact with your teeth and away from your sensitive gums.
Professional-Grade Gel: We provide you with our professional teeth whitening gel and instructions on how to apply it. You simply wear the trays for a set amount of time each day, and you will see your smile get progressively whiter over one to two weeks.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Our whitening gels use an active ingredient (like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) that breaks down into oxygen molecules. These molecules penetrate the enamel to break apart the discolored carbon bonds that cause stains, leaving your teeth looking brighter.
Yes. When supervised by a dental professional, teeth whitening is very safe. We ensure your gums are protected during in-office treatments and that your custom take-home trays fit properly to prevent gel from irritating your gums.
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity after a whitening treatment. This is normal and usually fades within 24-48 hours. We can recommend desensitizing toothpaste or other simple measures to manage any short-term discomfort.
This depends heavily on your lifestyle. If you avoid or reduce staining habits (like coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking) and maintain good dental hygiene, your results can last for a long time. We also offer take-home touch-up kits to help maintain your bright smile.
After an in-office professional teeth whitening treatment, your teeth are temporarily more porous and can absorb new stains easily. We recommend you avoid any dark-staining foods or drinks (like coffee, tea, red wine, tomato sauce, berries, or dark sodas) for at least 24-48 hours. Water and "white" foods (like chicken, rice, potatoes, and pasta with white sauce) are perfectly fine. This step is essential to protect your investment and keep your smile brilliant.
In-office whitening provides the fastest, most dramatic results, achieving a significantly brighter smile in a single visit of about 1-2 hours. Take-home kits use custom-fitted trays and a professional-grade gel over 1-2 weeks, allowing you to achieve a similar result more gradually on your own schedule.
No. Professional teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Dental restorations like crowns, veneers, and composite fillings will not change color. We will always perform a pre-treatment check to ensure you get a uniform result.
