Whether you want same-visit in-office results or a take-home tray program, our Teeth Whitening plan starts with an honest look at what your specific staining will and won't respond to.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Teeth Whitening is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
Not all staining is the same — we distinguish surface stains from deeper intrinsic discoloration before recommending a method.
We won't push maximum-strength whitening on a patient whose enamel or gum health doesn't support it.
Patients with a history of sensitivity get a modified schedule to minimize discomfort during treatment.
Both in-office and take-home options are quoted clearly upfront, so you can choose based on budget and timeline, not guesswork.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
A single in-office visit uses a higher-concentration gel activated under controlled conditions for visible same-day results. Most patients see two to eight shades of improvement in one visit, depending on starting shade.
Custom-fitted trays and a lower-concentration gel let you whiten gradually over one to two weeks at home. This option tends to produce more even results with less sensitivity than in-office treatment.
For patients with a history of sensitive teeth, a desensitizing step before whitening substantially reduces discomfort. Sensitivity typically resolves within a day or two after treatment regardless.
Some discoloration comes from inside the tooth — from old trauma, certain medications, or a prior root canal — and responds differently to standard whitening. Internal bleaching is an option for certain single dark teeth, distinct from full-mouth whitening.
Whitening fades gradually with coffee, tea, and red wine exposure — we'll set a realistic touch-up schedule. Maintenance is far cheaper than repeating a full whitening treatment from scratch.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Teeth Whitening at any of our affiliated offices.
We'll check your baseline shade and staining type before recommending in-office or take-home whitening.
Based on your timeline and sensitivity history, we'll recommend the option that fits, with pricing upfront.
Desensitizing steps are built into the process, whether you're in the chair or using take-home trays.
You'll leave with a clear sense of how long results should last given your habits.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Teeth Whitening treatment with us in the past year.
“Take-home trays worked better for me than I expected, and barely any sensitivity thanks to the desensitizing step.”
“They were upfront that one of my teeth wouldn't whiten the same as the others because of an old root canal. Appreciated the honesty.”
“In-office results were visible immediately, and they walked me through exactly what to expect beforehand.”
“My teeth are usually sensitive to everything, and this was the first whitening treatment that didn't leave me wincing for days.”
“The touch-up kit they gave me has kept results looking fresh for almost a year now.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Teeth Whitening.
Results depend on starting shade and staining type; most patients see two to eight shades of improvement.
Some temporary sensitivity is common, but desensitizing steps built into the process minimize it significantly.
Both are effective — the right choice depends on your timeline and sensitivity tolerance.
We'll flag this possibility during the assessment so it's not a surprise after treatment.
Coffee, tea, and red wine speed up fading — a touch-up kit helps maintain results longer.
We won't recommend maximum-strength whitening if your enamel or gum health doesn't support it.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Teeth Whitening before you even finish describing your situation.
Our Teeth Whitening service is available to patients throughout South Beach, with both in-office and take-home options offered at the same location. Ask about combining a whitening consultation with your next routine cleaning visit.
