The Benefits

What Professional Whitening Gives You

In-office whitening at Dr. Nahlah's practice lifts stains that strips and home remedies leave behind, in a single visit, with a shade chosen for you and monitored throughout.

~1 hourIn-office session

Internal stainsNot only surface

Your shadeChosen, then monitored

Brighter in One Visit

Professional whitening can lighten your teeth multiple shades in a single office visit of generally about one hour.

Reaches Deeper Stains

Professional-grade bleaching agents soak into the enamel and remove internal stains as well as those on the surface.

Little to No Sensitivity

Most patients report little to no tooth or gum sensitivity during or after their whitening session.

A Shade That Suits You

The most complementary shade is chosen with you before anything starts, and your treatment is monitored as it goes.

A Result That Lasts

With good oral hygiene, regular professional cleanings and fewer staining foods and drinks, teeth can stay noticeably white long-term.

The Right Start for Porcelain

If veneers or crowns are in your plan, whitening first means the porcelain is matched to your final shade.
