In-Office Teeth Whitening

This chemically activated treatment uses a powerful 40% hydrogen peroxide formula, eliminating the need for uncomfortable LED lights.

Opalescence™ Boost™ delivers immediate, noticeable results, leaving you with a radiant smile as soon as you leave our office.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening offers unmatched precision and effectiveness compared to over-the-counter products. Our custom trays are tailored to your unique dental structure, providing even application and minimizing discomfort. In contrast, store-bought kits often lead to uneven whitening and heightened sensitivity due to their one-size-fits-all approach and lower-quality ingredients.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Tooth discoloration can result from various factors, including:
- Dietary Choices: Pigmented foods and beverages like curry, berries, coffee, tea, and wine.
- Lifestyle Habits: Tobacco use can significantly stain teeth.
- Medications: Certain antibiotics and antihistamines, particularly when taken during childhood, can cause deep-set stains.
- Aging: As enamel wears away with age, the yellow dentin beneath becomes more visible.
- Genetics: Natural tooth color and susceptibility to staining vary from person to person.
During your consultation, our experienced team will assess your specific situation to recommend the most effective whitening treatment.
Is Teeth Whitening Painful?
Worried about sensitivity? Our professional teeth whitening treatments are specifically designed to minimize discomfort. Unlike over-the-counter kits, which often cause gum irritation due to poor fit and harsh ingredients, our approach uses custom-made trays and precisely applied whitening agents. This ensures your gums and soft tissues are well-protected, significantly reducing the likelihood of any discomfort during or after the procedure.
Are You a Teeth Whitening Candidate?
Most people are good candidates for teeth whitening, but a dental evaluation is essential to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for the treatment. Dr. Schmid will assess your oral health, addressing any necessary general dentistry treatments like cavities beforehand. He will determine if teeth whitening is likely to be effective, especially considering factors such as medication-related stains. Based on your unique circumstances, our team will recommend the best course of action to help you achieve your desired results.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
Numerous studies demonstrate that people with white and clean-looking teeth are more likely to be hired, asked out on dates, and receive raises at work. Your teeth are typically one of the first things a person notices, and having beautiful, healthy, and white teeth is a great way to ensure that people are getting a good first impression.
Healthy and white teeth can produce the following benefits as well:
- Improved self-confidence
- Increased likelihood to smile
- Positive impact on professional and social interactions
What Our Patients Say
“Dr. Schmid is the first dentist I actually look forward to going to. The office atmosphere is very laid back but the staff is very professional and really makes you feel at ease. Dr. Schmid knows what he is doing and is very knowledgeable on the latest, cutting edge procedures. My husband and two children all see him. He has treated me for a cracked tooth he repaired 12 years ago and it is still good as new. My teenage son has had his teeth whitened after having his braces removed. He also did a wonderful job whitening mine and provided me with a very comfortable appliance to help prevent me from grinding my teeth at night. My husband received an implant that looks great. Dr. Schmid does great work! If you want beautiful teeth you need to see this man.” – A.D.
