In-office whitening lifts stains from coffee, tea, wine and time. Treatment starts with a short check by the doctor to make sure whitening will work on your teeth, and the whitening itself takes one appointment.
Yes, on natural teeth stained by food, drinks, smoking or age. In-office whitening uses a stronger gel than store kits, applied under supervision with your gums protected, so the change is noticeable after one visit. It does not lighten crowns, veneers or fillings.
Whitening gel breaks down the stain molecules inside the enamel, the ones brushing can't reach. In the office we protect your gums first, apply the gel in timed rounds and check the shade as we go.
Store-bought strips use a milder formula and a one-size fit, so results come slowly and can be uneven, and gel that sits on the gums can irritate them.

No. Whitening only lightens natural enamel. That's one reason the doctor checks your teeth first, so crowns and fillings still match afterward.
