Stains happen. Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and natural aging can dim even the healthiest smile. Professional teeth whitening cuts through deep discoloration quickly and safely, producing a brighter, more youthful look. Whether you choose an in-office boost or custom take-home trays, Pak Dental can help you level up your smile—without the guesswork of store-bought kits.

Why Professional Whitening Works Better

• Stronger, controlled gels: Safe concentrations for meaningful results.
• Custom fit: Trays hug every contour for even whitening (no zebra stripes).
• Sensitivity management: Desensitizers and pacing reduce post-whitening zings.
• Expert guidance: We screen for cavities, cracks, and gum recession first to avoid irritation.

What Whitening Can (And Can’t) Do

Whitening lifts extrinsic stains (from foods, drinks, and smoking) and intrinsic discoloration within enamel to a degree. It does not change the color of fillings, bonding, veneers, or crowns. If you’re planning cosmetic work, whiten first, then match restorations to the brighter shade.

In-Office Whitening: Quick Results

In a single visit, we isolate your gums, apply professional gel in cycles, and monitor shade changes between rounds. Expect a dramatic improvement in about 60–90 minutes, perfect for events or when you want a big boost quickly.

Custom Take-Home Trays: Flexible And Effective

We make clear trays from impressions or scans and provide a professional gel for daily use over 10–14 days. You control the pace, ideal for minimizing sensitivity and maintaining your results later.

Managing Sensitivity (Yes, We Can)

• Use a sensitive toothpaste or potassium nitrate gel for 1–2 weeks before whitening.
• Take a short break between sessions if teeth feel zappy.
• Avoid ice-cold drinks for 24–48 hours after treatment.
• We can adjust gel strength or wear time to suit you.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most patients enjoy brighter smiles for a year or more with good habits. Color gradually softens over time; quick touch-ups with your custom trays keep things on point.

Whitening Safety Myths—Busted

• Myth: Whitening damages enamel.
  Fact: When professionally supervised, whitening is safe; it temporarily opens enamel pores but doesn’t thin enamel.
• Myth: Charcoal or abrasive pastes are safer.
  Fact: Abrasion can scratch enamel and gums; chemical whitening is gentler and more effective.
• Myth: LED lights alone whiten teeth.
  Fact: The gel is the active ingredient; lights sometimes accelerate, but gel quality matters most.

FAQs

How many shades whiter can I get?
Most people see a change of 3–8 shades depending on starting color and stain type.

Will my white spots get whiter?
They can appear more noticeable temporarily as surrounding enamel lightens; they usually blend better as color evens out.

Can I whiten if I have gum recession?
Yes—with careful isolation and mild gels. We’ll tailor a plan to protect sensitive areas.
