Coffee, wine, and time all take a toll on enamel shade — an in-office treatment resets it in about an hour. Smile Center Dentistry checks your enamel and gums before recommending a strength.
Not every patient should use the same concentration of whitening gel, so we don't treat every case the same way. We'd rather delay a whitening session than treat over a cavity we haven't addressed.
We calibrate gel concentration to your enamel condition, not a one-strength-fits-all approach. We adjust based on what your specific exam shows, not a default setting.
We check for cavities and gum recession before whitening, since treating over untreated decay can cause real pain. This exam is included in your visit, not billed as a separate add-on.
Choose a single in-office session for fast results or custom take-home trays for a gradual approach — we explain the trade-offs. Some patients even combine both — an in-office boost followed by take-home maintenance.
We proactively manage sensitivity instead of waiting for you to call back in pain. Most sensitivity fades within a day or two when managed properly.
Whitening isn't one-size-fits-all — here's what we offer after checking your shade and sensitivity.
A higher-concentration gel activated in the chair delivers visible results in about an hour. We monitor sensitivity throughout the session rather than applying gel and walking away.
Trays molded to your exact bite let you whiten gradually at home with a lower-concentration gel. We check your progress at a follow-up to confirm even results.
We compare your current shade against a guide before treatment so you have a real baseline, not a guess. This appointment also flags any restorations that won't whiten along with natural teeth.
Desensitizing gel is applied before and after treatment for patients prone to sensitive teeth. Post-visit care instructions are given verbally and in writing.
Take-home touch-up trays let you maintain your shade without a full in-office visit each time. We recommend a schedule based on your diet and habits, not a generic interval.
We're upfront if your case will show slower results and explain why before you spend money. Realistic expectations are set at your shade consult, not after treatment disappoints you.
Call +1-866-227-2801 to schedule your shade consult and exam in Union.
We check for cavities and gum health, then compare your current shade against a guide.
In-office sessions take about an hour; take-home trays are fitted and explained the same visit.
You'll see your new shade compared to your starting point, plus a plan to maintain it.
"They checked my teeth for cavities first, which I didn't expect but appreciated — no surprises during treatment."
"Take-home trays fit perfectly since they were molded to my actual bite, not a generic tray."
"Shade comparison before and after was a nice touch — I could actually see the difference, not just take their word for it."
"They told me my old crown wouldn't whiten with the rest of my teeth, which saved me from an uneven result."
"Had some intrinsic staining from an old medication and they explained upfront it would take longer to lighten. Appreciated not being oversold on a quick fix."
We compare your before-and-after against a shade guide so the improvement isn't just a guess. We'll give you a realistic expectation at your consult based on your current shade.
Overuse of drugstore products without supervision is more likely to cause sensitivity than a professionally managed treatment. We monitor your enamel condition throughout treatment, not just at the start.
Coffee, wine, and tobacco fade results faster — we discuss realistic maintenance based on your habits. A touch-up schedule tailored to your habits helps extend results significantly.
We flag any crowns or veneers upfront so you're not surprised by an uneven result later. If a mismatch would result, we discuss options honestly before you commit to treatment.
Sensitivity is common and manageable — we tailor the approach rather than skipping whitening altogether. We check in during treatment and adjust if sensitivity becomes uncomfortable.
Both use professional-grade gel; the choice usually comes down to your timeline and sensitivity level. Some patients do both — an initial boost followed by trays for upkeep.
Our whitening program serves Union and the surrounding zip codes with the same enamel-safe protocol at every visit. Shade consults and treatment sessions are both done locally, without a referral elsewhere.
We'll check your teeth first and recommend what actually fits your case.
