Achieve a Brighter, Whiter Smile
A bright, radiant smile can boost confidence and
enhance your overall appearance. Professional
in-office teeth whitening is a safe and effective way
to achieve noticeably whiter teeth in just one
session. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products,
this treatment uses a high-concentration bleaching
gel and UV light under expert supervision, ensuring
quick and long-lasting results.
About Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental procedures worldwide. Also known as power whitening or
chair-side whitening, this treatment is performed under controlled conditions by trained professionals. The procedure effectively removes deep stains and discoloration caused by coffee, tea, smoking, and aging, delivering results that are immediately visible.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening delivers instant results in just one session, ensuring safety and minimal sensitivity under expert supervision. It effectively removes deep stains from coffee, tea, and smoking, providing longer-lasting brightness compared to at-home treatments. With proper care, results can last for months, enhancing both your smile and confidence.
How It Works
Safe & Effective Whitening Technology
The procedure involves applying a high-concentration bleaching gel to the teeth, which is then activated by UV or LED light. This combination helps break down deep stains and discoloration without damaging the enamel. The entire process typically takes about 60 minutes, and patients leave with a noticeably whiter smile.
As the whitening gel penetrates the enamel, it lifts stains from within, resulting in a brighter, more uniform appearance. The effects can last several months, depending on lifestyle and oral hygiene habits.

Teeth Whitening – Frequently Asked Questions
-
How Many Treatments Are Needed?The average person generally requires between 8-12 treatments. The treatments are usually 4-6 weeks apart. Sometimes with hormonal issues like PCOS and thyroid disorders, or larger body areas - additional treatments are needed.
-
Can I Tan While Receiving Laser Hair Removal?No tanning in between treatments. SPF of at least 35 should be used during sun exposure as hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin in the area treated) may occur in a small percentage of people.
-
What Happens After My Treatment?After the treatment the hair will go through a 3 week shedding process. The majority of the hair will shed out in 3 to 4 days after the treatment but it can take up to 3 weeks or more for stubborn hairs to work their way out. By the end of the 3rd week you will start to see the effects of the laser hair removal treatment. The hair will grow in slower and less coarse and may appear patchy.
-
Why Do I Still See Hair After My Laser Session?Laser does NOT treat the hair itself, so you will still see hair after the treatment. Laser targets the papilla, which is at the base of the follicle that supplies nutrition to the hair. It takes several treatments to stunt the hair growth. Even after hair stops growing in additional treatments are required to ensure the hair stays gone long term. After the initial series of treatments, touch up treatments will be needed eventually, based on hormonal fluctuations and aging.
-
What Are the Common Side Effects?Some typical reactions are redness, bumps and sometimes swelling. It is possible for these to last up to two to three days but most will only be slightly pink for about 10 minutes.
-
How Large is the Treatment Area Per Laser Pulse?With every one second pulse of the laser it will cover the surface area of about the size of a nickel, treating all the hairs within that circumference.
-
Does Laser Work on All Hair Colors?Laser does not work on blonde, gray or white hair.
-
Is There Pain During the Treatment?Ice packs are offered to numb the area before and during the treatment. We also offer a topical anesthetic cream that is recommended for sensitive areas such as the lip underarms and bikini. The topical needs to be applied 45 minutes before the treatment, so it can be sent home with you after your first appointment to be applied for your future treatments.
-
How Does the Laser Work?The Candela gentle yag is a device that produces an intense but gentle burst of light that fragments to reduce hair growth with selective destruction and minimal harm to the surrounding tissue.
