Not all staining responds to whitening the same way, so we start with a shade check and a look at whether staining is surface-level or deeper in the tooth.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Teeth Whitening, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
We document your baseline shade with a shade guide before starting, so you can actually see the difference afterward.
We won't push maximum-strength whitening on a patient whose enamel or gum health doesn't support it.
Desensitizing gel is part of the standard protocol, not an upsell you have to ask for separately.
Both in-office and take-home options are quoted clearly upfront, so you can choose based on budget and timeline, not guesswork.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
A single in-office visit uses a higher-concentration gel activated under controlled conditions for visible same-day results. Most patients see two to eight shades of improvement in one visit, depending on starting shade.
Custom-fitted trays and a lower-concentration gel let you whiten gradually over one to two weeks at home. This option tends to produce more even results with less sensitivity than in-office treatment.
For patients with a history of sensitive teeth, a desensitizing step before whitening substantially reduces discomfort. Sensitivity typically resolves within a day or two after treatment regardless.
Some discoloration comes from inside the tooth — from old trauma, certain medications, or a prior root canal — and responds differently to standard whitening. Setting the right expectation here prevents disappointment after treatment.
A small take-home touch-up kit can maintain results between full treatments. Most patients touch up every six to twelve months depending on diet and habits.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
A short assessment tells us which whitening approach fits your case best.
Based on your timeline and sensitivity history, we'll recommend the option that fits, with pricing upfront.
Desensitizing steps are built into the process, whether you're in the chair or using take-home trays.
You'll leave with a clear sense of how long results should last given your habits.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Teeth Whitening.
“Take-home trays worked better for me than I expected, and barely any sensitivity thanks to the desensitizing step.”
“They were upfront that one of my teeth wouldn't whiten the same as the others because of an old root canal. Appreciated the honesty.”
“In-office results were visible immediately, and they walked me through exactly what to expect beforehand.”
“My teeth are usually sensitive to everything, and this was the first whitening treatment that didn't leave me wincing for days.”
“The touch-up kit they gave me has kept results looking fresh for almost a year now.”
These are the questions Inkster patients ask most before booking Teeth Whitening.
Results depend on starting shade and staining type; most patients see two to eight shades of improvement.
Some temporary sensitivity is common, but desensitizing steps built into the process minimize it significantly.
Both are effective — the right choice depends on your timeline and sensitivity tolerance.
Intrinsic staining from old trauma or a prior root canal responds differently to whitening gel than surface staining does.
Coffee, tea, and red wine speed up fading — a touch-up kit helps maintain results longer.
Formulations and concentrations are selected based on your enamel condition and sensitivity history — we don't use a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Teeth Whitening before you even finish describing your situation.
We serve Inkster patients looking to brighten their smile safely, with an honest assessment before any gel touches your teeth. Take-home kits are available for pickup, so a second in-person visit isn't always required.
