Welcome to a New League of Whitening
Over-the-counter strips and whitening toothpastes work slowly, if at all. Professional whitening uses higher-concentration formulas that deliver real results up to 3–6 shades lighter, depending on the option you choose. The difference is noticeable, and it happens a lot faster.
In-Office or Take-Home — Your Call.
We offer both. In-office whitening is done here in a single appointment using Sensational Smiles. It is fast, effective, and you leave with a noticeably brighter smile the same day. Take-home whitening uses custom trays and Opalescence gel that you apply on your own schedule — great if you prefer to whiten gradually or have sensitive teeth.
We Have Options for Sensitive Teeth.
Tooth sensitivity is the most common reason people avoid whitening. Our take-home option uses Opalescence, which is specifically formulated for sensitive teeth and lets you control the pace. If you’ve tried whitening before and had a bad experience with sensitivity, tell us. We’ll find an approach that works for you.
How much does teeth whitening cost in Fairfax, VA?
Whitening costs vary depending on whether you choose in-office or take-home treatment. We’ll go over pricing at your consultation. Cosmetic services are not covered by dental insurance. Elite Protection Plan members receive 10% off.
How many shades lighter will my teeth get?
Most patients see results of 3–6 shades lighter with either option. Results vary depending on the current shade of your teeth and the type of staining. Surface stains from coffee, tea, and wine respond very well. Deep or internal stains may require a different approach — we’ll tell you honestly what to expect before you start.
Is teeth whitening safe for sensitive teeth?
Yes, with the right formula. Our take-home option uses Opalescence, which is designed for patients with sensitivity and allows you to control the pace and concentration. If you’re concerned about sensitivity, mention it when you book and we’ll make sure we start with the gentlest approach.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Results typically last 1–3 years depending on your diet and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco will shorten the results. Touch-up trays can extend the life of your whitening significantly, so be sure to ask us about take-home maintenance options.
