Teeth Whitening
We all start out with a bright, radiant smile, but over time, the sparkling white color of our teeth can start to shift. Sometimes, this is due to factors like diet or lifestyle, but sometimes, it’s due to factors outside our control, like the natural aging process.
Whatever the cause, there is a huge selection of effective teeth whitening treatments available, and some of the best ones are only available through your dentist. Drs. Bruce and Kristi Crispin at Esthetic Professionals offer professional teeth whitening treatments designed to safely and effectively restore the natural brilliance of your smile.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lightens the shade of your teeth by removing stains and discoloration. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional whitening uses advanced techniques and high-quality materials that deliver more noticeable and longer-lasting results.
Stains can develop from a variety of sources, including coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, and even certain medications. Natural aging also causes enamel to thin, revealing more of the yellow dentin underneath. Professional teeth whitening addresses both surface stains and deeper discoloration, helping your teeth look several shades brighter.

The Teeth Whitening Process
Our teeth whitening treatments are customized to fit your needs and lifestyle. There are typically two main options available:
- In-Office Whitening: This method delivers the fastest and most dramatic results. During your appointment, a whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth and activated with a special light. In just one visit, you can achieve a noticeably whiter smile.
- Take-Home Whitening Kits: For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth at home, we provide custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel. These kits allow you to gradually whiten your teeth over a period of days or weeks, with results that are both safe and effective.
Both options are designed to minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel, ensuring a comfortable and reliable treatment experience.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening offers several advantages beyond just a brighter smile:
- Confidence Boost: A whiter smile can help you feel more self-assured in social and professional settings.
- Youthful Appearance: Bright teeth can take years off your appearance, giving you a fresher, more vibrant look.
- Quick and Non-Invasive: Whitening is one of the simplest cosmetic dental procedures, requiring no alteration to your teeth’s shape or size.
- Safe and Customized: You can trust that your treatment is tailored to your needs and performed with your oral health in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes teeth to become discolored?
Stains can develop from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, and certain medications. Natural aging also thins enamel, revealing more of the yellow dentin underneath. Professional whitening addresses both surface stains and deeper discoloration for a brighter result.
How is professional teeth whitening different from over-the-counter products?
Professional whitening uses advanced techniques and higher-quality materials than store-bought options, delivering more noticeable and longer-lasting results. Drs. Bruce and Kristi Crispin customize treatment to your needs, addressing both surface stains and deeper discoloration.
What's the difference between in-office and take-home whitening?
In-office whitening delivers the fastest, most dramatic results in a single visit, using a whitening gel carefully applied to your teeth. Take-home kits use the same gel applied with custom-fitted trays, gradually whitening teeth over days or weeks at your own pace.
Which whitening option is right for me?
It depends on your timeline and preferences. In-office whitening suits patients wanting immediate, dramatic results in one visit, while take-home kits suit those who prefer a gradual approach. We can help determine the best fit for you.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Sometimes, it can. Every patient is different, and some experience sensitivity, while others don’t. Whatever the case, we can give desensitizers to minimize discomfort and customize the treatment that is best for you.
Does teeth whitening damage or alter the shape of my teeth?
No. Whitening is one of the simplest cosmetic dental procedures and requires no alteration to your teeth’s shape or size. It simply lightens the shade of your teeth and removes stains and discoloration.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Results vary based on your diet, habits, and lifestyle, since exposure to staining foods and drinks can gradually affect your teeth again over time. Maintaining good oral hygiene and periodic touch-ups helps preserve your whiter smile for longer.
