Teeth Whitening — Brighten Your Smile Safely and Effectively
Stained or discolored teeth can make you feel self-conscious every time you smile. Professional teeth whitening at myDental safely removes years of stains and brightens your smile by several shades — so you can smile with confidence again.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective cosmetic treatment that removes stains and discoloration from your tooth enamel. Unlike over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpastes, professional whitening uses dental-grade formulas applied under the supervision of your dental team — delivering faster, more consistent, and longer-lasting results.
At myDental, we offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and custom take-home kits for gradual brightening on your schedule. Whether your teeth are stained from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or simply aging, we can help you achieve a noticeably brighter smile.
Dental-grade whitening agents penetrate deeper than store-bought products for more dramatic, even results across your entire smile.
Take-home kits include trays molded to your teeth for even gel distribution and minimal gum irritation — a far better fit than one-size-fits-all strips.
Our formulas include built-in desensitizing agents, and we offer options specifically designed for patients with sensitive teeth.
In-office whitening can brighten your teeth by several shades in a single appointment. Take-home kits deliver gradual results over one to two weeks.
Your Teeth Whitening Options
Not all whitening treatments are the same, and the right choice depends on your goals, timeline, and sensitivity level. We offer several professional options so you can find the approach that fits your life.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Whiten on your own schedule with custom-molded trays and professional-grade gel. Wear the trays for a prescribed time each day and see gradual brightening over one to two weeks. Take-home kits are also ideal for touch-ups after in-office whitening.
Zoom! Whitening
Zoom! uses a special LED light to accelerate the whitening process, delivering dramatic results in a single visit. The light activates the whitening gel for deeper penetration, making it one of the fastest and most effective in-office whitening systems available.
Signs You May Benefit from Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to improve your smile. If any of the following sound familiar, professional whitening may be a great fit for you.
Not sure if whitening is right for you? Some stains — like those caused by certain medications or tooth trauma — may respond better to veneers or bonding. We will help you find the best approach during your consultation.
Your Teeth Whitening Journey at myDental
Professional whitening is quick, comfortable, and straightforward. Here is what a typical teeth whitening experience looks like at myDental.
Consultation & Shade Assessment
We examine your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is the right option for you. We take a baseline shade reading so you can see exactly how much brighter your smile gets. We discuss your goals, sensitivity concerns, and whether in-office or take-home whitening is the best fit.
Preparation
Before whitening, we recommend a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that can block the whitening gel. For take-home kits, we take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays that ensure even gel coverage.
Whitening Treatment
For in-office whitening, we protect your gums and apply the whitening gel to your teeth. The gel works for about 15 to 20 minutes per session, and we may apply multiple rounds during your appointment. For take-home kits, we provide instructions on how to fill your trays and how long to wear them each day.
Results & Maintenance
We compare your new shade to your starting shade so you can see the difference. You receive tips on maintaining your results, including which foods to avoid in the first 48 hours and how to use your take-home kit for periodic touch-ups.

A brighter smile can change how you feel about yourself — in photos, at work, and in everyday conversations. Here is why our patients choose professional whitening over store-bought alternatives.
Dramatic, Even Results
Professional whitening delivers 3 to 8 shades of improvement — far beyond what strips or toothpaste can achieve — with consistent coverage across every tooth.
Safe and Proven
Performed under dental supervision with professional-grade products, so you get effective results without the risks of unregulated products or DIY methods.
Custom-Fit Comfort
Take-home trays are molded to your teeth for better gel coverage, less waste, and reduced gum irritation compared to one-size-fits-all strips.
Sensitivity Solutions
We offer desensitizing formulas, adjusted concentrations, and pre-treatment protocols so even patients with sensitive teeth can whiten comfortably.

Professional teeth whitening is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures. In-office treatments and take-home kits vary in cost depending on the method. During your consultation, we provide a transparent price breakdown. We accept most PPO insurance plans, offer flexible financing, and our myDental Plan provides discounts for patients without insurance.
Professional whitening results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on your diet and oral hygiene. Staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can cause gradual discoloration over time. Using whitening toothpaste, avoiding tobacco, and doing periodic touch-ups with your take-home kit help you maintain a bright smile longer.
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. It typically resolves within a few days. At myDental, we use professional formulas with built-in desensitizing agents and offer whitening options specifically designed for sensitive teeth. We discuss sensitivity management before starting your treatment.
Yes. Professional whitening is safe when performed under dental supervision. We use controlled concentrations of whitening agents and protect your gums during application. This is significantly safer than over-the-counter products, which can cause uneven results or gum irritation when used improperly.
Professional whitening uses stronger, dental-grade agents and custom-fitted trays or in-office application for even, consistent results. Over-the-counter strips use lower concentrations with one-size-fits-all trays, which often leads to uneven whitening and gum irritation. Professional treatments also produce faster and more noticeable results — typically 3 to 8 shades of improvement compared to 1 to 2 shades from store-bought products.
Most patients achieve 3 to 8 shades of improvement with professional whitening. The exact result depends on the type and severity of your stains, the whitening method used, and your natural tooth color. During your consultation, we assess your teeth and provide a realistic expectation. Some stains, like those from medications, may respond better to veneers or bonding.
Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and use a whitening toothpaste. Limit staining foods and drinks, and avoid tobacco. Schedule regular dental cleanings to remove surface stains before they set in. Periodic touch-ups with your take-home kit keep your smile bright between professional treatments.
