Coffee, wine, aging—life stains your teeth. But you don't have to settle for discolored teeth that make you self-conscious in photos or meetings. Professional whitening isn't just faster than drugstore products—it's safer, more effective, and supervised by a dentist who understands your unique smile. Dr. Prentice offers both in-office power whitening for immediate results and custom take-home systems for gradual brightening on your schedule. Combine whitening with cosmetic bonding or veneers for a complete smile transformation.
Why Professional Whitening Beats Drugstore Products
Drugstore whitening strips use weak concentrations (around 5-10% hydrogen peroxide) and can't penetrate stubborn stains effectively. Professional treatments use 25-40% concentrations—safely supervised by Dr. Prentice—delivering dramatic results in a fraction of the time. Plus, custom-fitted trays ensure even coverage without gum irritation or sensitivity issues common with one-size-fits-all strips. Bottom line: Professional whitening works in hours or days, not weeks or months.
