You Deserve a Teeth Whitening Treatment That Actually Works for You
At Ashby Dental, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to teeth whitening. Before recommending any treatment, we review your full dental history and factor in your comfort level. For patients with sensitivity, we often start with a custom at-home kit, giving you a gentler, more gradual path to a brighter smile. We’re here to answer your questions and guide you to the right option.
FAQs
About Teeth Whitening
We offer two professional whitening options. Our take-home whitening kit costs $400 and includes reusable trays and whitening gel. For more immediate results, we also offer an in-office whitening treatment for $770, which includes a take-home kit for future touch-ups. Both options are safe, effective, and provide noticeable results.
Professional whitening treatments use a safe, highly effective whitening gel that breaks down stains and discoloration on the enamel. We offer both in-office whitening for fast, dramatic results and take-home kits with reusable trays for gradual whitening on your own schedule. These options are much more powerful and longer-lasting than over-the-counter products.
Teeth whitening results can last several months to a year or more, depending on your habits and lifestyle. Avoiding staining foods and drinks (like coffee, red wine, and tobacco) and maintaining good oral hygiene can help extend your results. Periodic touch-ups, especially with take-home kits, are a great way to keep your smile looking bright.
Yes. When performed or supervised by a dental professional, teeth whitening is considered safe and effective. At Ashby Dental, we assess your teeth and gums before recommending any whitening treatment to make sure it’s appropriate for you. Over-the-counter products can be used incorrectly or too frequently, which can cause temporary sensitivity or enamel irritation. Professional whitening keeps the process controlled and monitored.
In-office whitening uses a higher-concentration professional gel applied by our dental team, producing faster and more significant results, typically in about an hour. At-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays and a lower-concentration gel that you apply yourself over one to two weeks. In-office whitening is ideal if you want quick results, while at-home whitening gives you more control and is often gentler for patients with sensitivity. Both options produce results that far exceed what over-the-counter whitening strips can deliver.
Many patients with sensitivity can whiten their teeth safely. The key is choosing the right treatment. We typically recommend our custom at-home whitening kits for patients with sensitivity, since the lower-concentration gel can be applied gradually and on your own schedule. We also space out sessions to give your teeth time to recover between treatments. If you have concerns about sensitivity, let us know so we can tailor your whitening plan accordingly.
