Professional Teeth Whitening in Knoxville, TN
Professional teeth whitening removes stains and discoloration, giving you a dramatically brighter smile. We use peroxide-based whitening gel to break down stains and discoloration on the enamel. In-office whitening involves applying a high-concentration gel to your teeth, often activated by a special light to accelerate the process, giving you dramatic results in about an hour. Take-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays filled with a lower-concentration gel, which you wear for a set amount of time each day over one to two weeks. Safe, effective, and tailored to your needs, our whitening options deliver a noticeable difference without the hassle of over-the-counter solutions.
01.
In-Office Whitening
Preparation: Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is safe for you. Your lips and gums will be protected to prevent irritation.
Application: A professional-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth. This gel contains a peroxide-based formula that breaks down stains.
Activation: A special light or laser may be used to enhance the whitening process, accelerating the breakdown of discoloration.
Repeat: The process may be repeated a few times within the same session to achieve the desired shade. You’ll leave with teeth that are several shades whiter in about an hour.
02.
Take-Home Whitening
Custom Trays: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom-fit whitening trays for even gel distribution.
Whitening Gel: You’ll receive a whitening gel to apply inside the trays before wearing them for a set time each day. Depending on the gel concentration and your desired results, the treatment lasts one to two weeks.
