Professional Teeth Whitening in Eastpointe
If you’ve been hiding your smile because your teeth aren’t as white as they used to be, you’re definitely not alone. Coffee, tea, wine, and just everyday life can gradually dim even the healthiest teeth. The good news? Professional whitening can safely restore your natural brightness – and we’ll explain exactly how it works so you can decide if it’s right for you.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening uses a stronger, safer bleaching gel than you’ll find in store-bought products. We apply it carefully to your teeth in a controlled environment, which means better results with less risk of sensitivity or uneven whitening.
Unlike strips or trays from the drugstore, our professional treatment is customized for your specific needs and monitored throughout the process to ensure your comfort and safety.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Whitening works best for people who have:
✓ Natural teeth that have yellowed over time
✓ Staining from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco
✓ Overall healthy teeth and gums
It might not be the best option if you have:
✕ Crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth (these won’t whiten)
✕ Very sensitive teeth
✕ Gum disease or other oral health issues (we’d want to address these first)
We’ll always examine your teeth first and let you know what kind of results you can realistically expect.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your whitening appointment is straightforward:
Before we start
We’ll protect your gums and soft tissues with a special barrier, then apply the whitening gel evenly to your teeth.
During treatment
You’ll relax in our comfortable chair (TV’s available!) while the gel works. The entire process usually takes about an hour.
Immediate results
You’ll see a noticeable difference right away, with continued improvement over the next 24-48 hours.
No downtime: You can return to your normal activities immediately, though we’ll give you a few simple guidelines to maximize your results.
Cost and Insurance Information
Most whitening treatments range from $300-$600, depending on the specific method we recommend for you. Since whitening is considered cosmetic, most insurance plans don’t cover it, but we offer several payment options:
- CareCredit financing
- Payment plans to fit your budget
- Package deals when combined with cleanings or check-ups
